First for 40yrs!

[bantamite]

I last tried making home-brew 40yrs ago. :shock: Just brewed up a Youngs Brew Buddy kit, if it comes out reasonable will try for something better. :

Kits and other brewing stuff has move on a great deal in the last few decades. I am sure your brew will turn out well and another home brew will be hooked :thumb:

 

[Good Ed]

Just don't wait another 40 years before the next brew

40 years, bet you were thirsty.

Congratulations......maybe give one of the 2 can kits a try next? More expensive but a step up in quality

 

[mrwalsh]

Thanks for advice. 40yr back you got plastic caps for the bottles, none of this professional looking metal caps and a £10 gadget to fit them!
Frankly the taste then was not good! :cry:
"Nelson's Revenge" sounds good. But I am an ex squaddie, not jolly Jack Tar! :grin:

Was the home brewing 40 years ago that bad or did you just lose interest? Welcome back anyways :

welcome back mate. :

Home brew then was same as beer of the time. If you ever had the misfortune to taste Watney Red Barrel you will know what I mean.

 

[Kegged]

I have not heard of this beer, Watney Red Barrel. Possibly due to the fact that I was a long way off being born when you did your last home brew !

Got it bottled today! Taste buds are at the ready : but have a wait. :whistle:
Only place I can find with home brew kit around here is Wilkos. They don't seem to sell Nelson's Revenge, so might try John Bull bitter next? :hmm:
