When did you break your brewing duck

[Vossy1]

It might have been done before, but it was sooo long ago I've forgotten :lol:

I broke my brewing duck with a Bru Paks Fixby Gold kit on 02/07/2006....followed by a few kits.
I quickly followed that up with my first AG brew on 29/08/2006...which surprises me to this day....that was quick :shock:
A turbo cider around 10/2007

So, When did you first break your brewing duck ?

Very first brew May 2009 Milestones Stout Kit
AG first Brew= 7th June 2009 Bathams Best Bitter clone

 

[Moley]

I can't remember when I broke my duck, probably in about '74 but I never brewed much beer and what I did probably wasn't much good, so I won't count that.

I resumed on 7/3/09 with an EDME bitter, 4 more kits in quick succession and my first AG on 18/5/09

My first kit was a Georgie Scottish Export from boots in 1987 when I was a student and did them off and on for a couple of years.

I then had a break and did my next kit in July 2004, a single extract brew in August 2004 and then my first AG in September 2004 (infact I still have a bottle or two of that original brew :shock: ). I wanted to go straight to AG at the time but I spread the cost of buying the kit over three months.

I did some beer kits in the early 90's.......but they tasted like ****. Wine was okay though.

Started making wine again at the end of 2008 and after lurking of forums learnt how to read hydrometers and started a few beer kits.

Plan my first AG for the end of Jan :|

I started brewing kits in March 1982, a John Bull Bitter kit bought from Woolworths along with a Hambleton Bard Beersphere I bought a Thorn Electrim boiler in October '82 and did a few extract beers from Dave lines Brewing beers like those you buy.
I then bought Dave Lines Big book of brewing and attempted one of his recipes with disastrous results that ended up with wort and grain all over my mothers kitchen :shock:
But never one to admit defeat I tried again and have never looked back since :drink:

 

[evanvine]

My first records start with a home grown "Black Hamburgh" wine 03.09.82 :shock:
My first AG was 19.07.86 (DL's BBB) I've never looked back. :thumb:

 

[Vossy1]

First AG - Dave Lines Abbott Ale - Summer 1981

Aleman, you might be able to help rob here

 

[Bru4u]

23rd Nov '99 Tom Caxton Real Ale, the notes I made read "I must make more, Very Good"
on and off till 29th May '08 when I restarted the kits then turned to AG 10th Sept '08.
I think my opinion may have changed if I drank that Tom Caxton now.

First kits back in 1990 at university, and brewed Boots kits on and off for about eight years.

Came back to brewing with a Wherry kit in early 2009, very impressed with how kits had moved on.
Did my first AG in September time 2009. :drink:

Did a pea-pod wine in 1990 too, only my cleaning wasn't as scrupulous as it should have been. I ended up with a wine that had a bouquet of rotting pea-pods! :sick:
