Brewing Bad
Hi, I've been following these forums for a couple of weeks, so thought I'd take the plunge and actually write something.
I've always had a vague interest in the idea of making my own version of things. I have numerous allotment/smallholding books, yet I've never had a smallholding. I've got a few cheesemaking books. Never made my own cheese either. I built my own computer once. Can't for the life of me remember how.
I visited the Beers of Europe warehouse in Kings Lynn a couple of weeks ago and they had a Youngs home brew kit (incorrectly priced, it turns out) for ã20. Every time I see a homebrew kit in a shop I stand and consider my life with far more beer and always decide I can't afford one, but at ã20, how could I not?
Only realised when I got home that it was a lager kit and I'm more of an ale man. Not sure whether to just run through the basics as it's my first go, or whether to add something like ginger to it to make it more worth my while...
So yeah, hi!
