Hi everyone. I am keen to get started with home brewing after dabbling a couple of times in the early 90s (results were very poor and I got disillusioned). What has inspired me now is that my brother in law has been singing the praises of brewing after using kits from Wilkos and basic equipment, plus I also know a couple of other brewers who have been making belgian style ales etc at home and even use bottled soft water etc (this is a hard water area).
I am interested in brewing a range of styles, starting with a bitter or dark beer in time for Christmas, to share with family and friends, and then trying either pilsner or stout.
I want quality and reliability rather than being obsessed with price/quantity so might go for two-can 3kg kits. Lots of people online seem to recommend Woodforde's (especially Wherry) as a kit for beginners but I am also interested in knowing whether St Peter's or Muntons etc are on the same par. Any advice and encouragement will be welcome!
