Wifey and my 11 month old son bought me the best present for xmas a dad who likes Ales could ask for, one I have been tempted to try for years but never had the bottle (pardon the pun).
Now at the ripe old age of 40 the wife thought I should join the homebrew brigade, and she bought me a Tom Caxton real Ale kit, and yesterday I ordered all the bits I will need to bottle. Much prefer bottles over a keg, as I only drink maybe 1-2 pints a night.
Already have my eyes on the next kit, looking at the St Peters IPA or Golden Ale kit, maybe both.
Cant believe how much I have spent on kit, but I know its going to last and I will get my moneys worth out of it. Wife knows she has lost me again to another hobby, and if its like any of the others she knows if I enjoy it, all hope is lost!
As the title says... 12 hours to go... until all my kit is here and I can start :)
Really cannot wait to start brewing. Only concern is I am a geek, full time, and I have a server and PC in my cellar on 24 hours a day, because of that the ambient temperature in the cellar is 21 C, is this too warm? Or should I start a thread in the relevant section?
So ... Hi all, and let the brewing start!
