Hello from Hampshire

[snielsen81]

Hi folks,

Glad to have found this forum, looks like a great community. I've started my first brew using a kit from homebrewtique, but am getting very impatient and now looking for ways to make more than 12 x 330ml bottles a month. I'll probably be asking lots of questions in the equipment forums as I get a shopping list together :)

Welcome to the forum. What part of Hampshire are you in? We are quite lucky in that we have a few decent local(ish) HB suppliers.

Thanks! I'm on the southern border, near Ringwood. I saw this one, about an hour away: https://www.the-home-brew-shop.co.uk/index.html

What are some of the others?

Local home brew shops are fine for buying tops ups and such but can be expensive, particularly if you have to include travel costs.
So you can save quite a lot of money by shopping online, but the drawback is that you have to spend upwards of £50 to get free p&p depending on where you go. If you are just starting out I think this is a good deal although it has a little bit more than the basic stuff, and you will have to spend another £5 or so to get the free p&p.

Youngs American kit beers usually turn out well and with this offer you have the option of changing the beer kit, perhaps to the AIPA which many on here have done, including me.
Other than that Wilko keep a basic range of stuff.
Finally some of the online suppliers offer a small discount if you are a forum member including The Homebrew Company and Geterbrewed.

Welcome. The Home Brew Shop is pretty good and well stocked so worth a visit at some point. You can stop in the Hogs Back Brewery on the way back home too.
