Hello from UK

[Ashley.h]

Good Afternoon,

I’m Ashley and live just outside London. I am totally new to home brewing and will be starting a MYO stout kit this weekend that I was brought as a gift last year. For now I am looking at trying out a range of kits and brewing and bottling these for a while... it may lead to making my own from total scratch but we will see....

All the best everyone.
Ash

Welcome to the forum Ash.

Welcome Ash! Loads of info on here on the kits. I've learned a lot in the year or so of being a member.

I've made the MYO Irish Stout before - exactly to instructions and it was a success. It went down well with friends and family too. I've brewed a second batch of it since, but pimped it up with lactose, coffee and molasses. The bottles will be ready for first tasting next weekend. Can't wait!

That sounds good, I like a coffee or chocolate stout. Hope it turns out well.

Welcome, Ashley. First piece of advice: as soon as your fermenting vessel is free, get another kit on. Then another. Beer takes ages to condition in the bottle and having a lot gives some of them chance to be ready before you drink them.

I was thinking about getting this stout done then getting a Mexican cervesa brewed up for the summer BBQ’s.

It will! Welcome to the slippery slope.

Hi Ashley from Norfolk.

Most of us started with kits and progress as time goes by.

Relax and let the brew do what it will and all will be good.

Welcome. I just started back in December. Enjoy the brewing, nothing like drinking your own beer. I’m building up a stash now. My first 2 brews turned out great. Now I’m going to wait until May, let my current brews condition and mature a little, and then enjoy them.
