extract brewing.

[sam51]

hi all I want to do an extract brew.
ive done a few beer kits. namely woodfords.
it is not possible at this time to do all grain.
so I thought an extract brew adventure would be good.
can you lovely guys point me in the right direction.
thank you sam. :

late on last year i did badger golden glory clone kit,and i recon it tasted better than the original! i marked it 9 out of 10.
the way i do it is i pop down asda or tesco and find a bottle beer i fancy and give it a try, if i like it so much i will aim to brew it my self, as its no good brewing 23lts of ale that i dont like!!!

The easiest way to start Extract IMHO is to get a kit from somewhere like BrewUk, where all the ingredients are meausured out for you:

Then all you need is a large stock-pot (eBay or local shop) and off you go. If you've done kits you'll know the basic brewing techniques, the only difference with Extract is that you use dried or liquid malt extract, and have a stage of boiling the hops (and maybe steeping some grains beforehand).

I've done 6 of them now but always go for the LiquidME rather than the DME., they've all been excellent
