On Tuesday evening I started my first home brew kit, a Milestone Lions Pride.
I've taken some photos of the process along the way...
Malt extract with the first lot of hot water
Stirring it up
Pitched the yeast

Now it's Saturday, and I've just drawn a sample to check the progress (please see my thread* asking how to read a hydrometer, as I'm not sure if I am reading it correctly), and because I didn't want to risk contamination by pouring it back in, I poured it into a glass from the trial jar and had a sneaky taste.
What it looks like at the moment. As for taste, it still tastes a bit Horlicks'y, but it's certainly not unpleasant!!
