Evening all,
Been researching the last few weeks and finally started my first brew tonight which seems to have taken ages
Started with a a Tom Caxton Best bitter which I picked up for a fiver at Wilkinson because the instructions were missing :grin: I have tried to be as careful as possible sanitising with Videne and half a campden tablet to remove the chlorine, and other than that I have used 1kg medium spraymalt instead of sugar, and all the hop enhancement sachet and kept it to 36pts.
Took a reading with my hydrometer before I pitched the yeast and it read 1044SG, sitting here hoping everything is going to go ok.
I have a coopers stout to try next if this goes to plan :drink:
