Hi all, Newbie question (checking whether I need to buy more stuff). So the starter kit I received as a present was originally intended for cider but checking lots of YouTube videos on how to make a batch of home brew beer, the bucket/drum I have for fermentation is the exact same, regardless...

Love the comment on the tomato plant 🤣 Yeh, defo want to start easy with a result of something I enjoy drinking then increase complexity when I have the correct kit. Right now it’s actually a cider making kit, but looking at the list, it’s all the same stuff (mostly). I do have a question on...

Would you mind if I changed my username? McBrewin would be a better name for me I think 😁

This looks good- both the Festival razorback and CWTCH look appealing, 😁

If you’re in Digbeth (Dig Brew Co), there is another brewery nearby with a taproom - Halton Turner Brewing company, had a good evening in there recently. It’s a bit random that it’s like a cafeteria hidden in the back of a brewery. Purecraft and Colemore are good in the posh part of town 🙂...

Loving these suggestions- now I have a tough job to figure out which to go for. I do like a Hazy IPA but the Beavertown and Tiny Rebel brands are pulling me in. Coin toss between Neck Oil or CWTCH I think… Was just about to buy the CWTCH before SMP Brewery’s post… now I’m stuck 😂

Thanks for the advice, not really my kind of beers though - not a huge fan of lager and wheat beer is ok, but don’t think I could drink a whole keg of it. Would prefer to make something closer to what I drink if possible… Some of the kits mentioned sound promising 😁

Hi everyone, I have a beer starter kit but the problem is I really want to make something similar to the beers I buy/drink. I usually stock my beer fridge up with Tiny Rebel’s 18 pack. Clwb Tropica (Tropical IPA), $5 shake (tropical milkshake beer) and Cali Pale Ale. If I’m looking for...

Hello everyone, new to the forum, came across a present I got from a friend (beer making kit) and decided it was time to try brewing. My retired Dad was a brewer/chemist for a well-known brewery back in the day, so I’d quite like to be able to talk to him about the science of it all, the...
