Thanks for accepting me to the forum. I am from central Scotland. I have absolutely no experience whatsoever as yet but looking forward to the challenges and the fingers crossed, decent drinkable beer at the end. Cheers 🍺
Hi mash,Welcome.
What the plan Davie?
Doing a few kits, or a big splash into grains? (sorry about the unintentional pun - but it sort of worked so I left it 😁)
Hi mash,
Thanks for the message,
I'll be honest with you from the start, I have never brewed anything or even know anyone personally who has as yet, so it is all a bit new, so Im trying to gain a little knowledge via forums, Facebook groups and YouTube etc.
At this stage I'm still research, research, research. I will most definitely be starting with a few kits first to get started I think. As long as I can make something drinkable that would be the aim 😂Long term I would like to keg and build a kegerator. But there are so many options out there, with different kit and set ups, whether it's better to start with just a starter kit of a couple of buckets and bottles and see where we go from there or invest that bit more starting out to make life a bit easier in the long run and get more consistent results.
Not a terrible idea. Good fermentation conditions is the difference between beer you'll want to drink and beer you'll want to pour down the drain. No point in spending 20-25 quid on ingredients only to fall at the last hurdle on fermentation.Yea that's the plan, I'd be starting with kits 100% and there is no way I'd be forking out for the all in one expensive grain father's etc without being experienced enough, and I wouldn't have enough money for that anyway 😂 only thing I'm making my mind up on is whether to fork out a bit more and get a pressure fermenter and gas to start with or not or just getting the buckets with a heat belt.
Inkbird works well on a bucket with a sleeping bag.
Bottle it don't keg. It's easier to start with and you get to keep a few from each batch to compare. (and learn).
Scrouge bottles from the pub. For free.
Sorry did I say "Scrouge" , I meant environmentally recycle
I was looking at kegging but I think your right, bottling would be the best way. Would make it easy to compare when start tinkering about a bit to compare results and hopefully improvements on the journey.Inkbird works well on a bucket with a sleeping bag.
