It has been something I wanted to try for quite some time (quite a few years), but it seemed a little daunting at first. The picked up a copy of Greg Hughes's book "Home Brew Beer". Between that and speaking to a friend from work who brewed, it gave me the kick to try it.
Started off with Wiko starter set and a beer kit. Did a few batches (7 or so) of kits - Woodeforde's Wherry and Milestone IPA mainly. All turned out pretty good really, so eventually decided to try all grain. I made a boiler and mash tun from plastic buckets and a temperature controller based on STC1000 for the boiler.
These went well, and I caught the bug, starting then to build a fermentation fridge based on Brew Pi and a new boiler from a stainless steel urn.
I think I like the making things bit as much as the actual brewing!
Made several different styles so far, some I prefer more, but none undrinkable... (touch wood). :)
