Hi,
I found this forum after chatting about HB on a rugby league forum....it inspired me to do a bit of research and seek out home brew kit suppliers/forums etc.
I've not done a single brew yet but am thinking of skipping the basic brew kit (just add water/yeast) type affairs and moving to a basic set up that does a boil to add hops to extract of my choice and then go from there.
Following some of the useful info found in the various threads on here I'm thinking of starting off with something like this:
http://www.thehomebrewcompany.co.uk...arter-kit-includes-33lt-fermenters-p-968.html
I've ordered a 33L brew pot and will purchase a gas burner soon too.....this will enable me to start out on extract but the pot should (hopefully) also large enough for me to step up to BIAB.
Looking at one of the threads on here, if/when I want to do AG properly, it doesn't look too difficult to build your own Mash Tun out of a Thermos Picnic Box so might have a bash at that eventually.
Initially I'll prob try my hand at IPAs but further on down the line I wouldn't mind getting my hands on some recipes that come close to some of my fave beers such as Kernel's Brick Red or Sharp's Wolf Rock Red IPA.
So yes, thanks already to those who've contributed to the forums, you've already been a great help and inspiration.....will be sure to let you know how my first brew goes (though it will be a few mths down the line until I finally get all my gear together I think)
