hello from manchester. im new to all this.

[bert]

hi all nice site you've got here.

im totally new to homebrewing and have just gone out and bought the rest of the kit to go with a "youngs brewbuddy bitter kit", i thought it was all in the kit but £50 odd quid later im good to go (campden tabs, finings, beer enhancing sugars, airlocks werent something i was expecting to need or even knew of tbh i thought it'd be a quick hour of cleaning then brew then bottle, seems not)

ive got myself a "coopers english bitter" kit aswell and am going to mooch through the site seeing which one's the best to go with as a newbie to brewing.

so ermm ta for having me good people :

Hi Bert

Welcome to mayhem, this hobby can get a bit of a grip of you hope your first steps into brewing are successful, you'll certainly find plenty of info on this site, don't be in too much of a rush, you'll need a bit of patience, beer gets better as it matures :thumb:

Welcome Bert to the world of Homebrew! For me its turned from "something I'd like to try out" into "something I think about most of the time"!

Trusting that that hasn't put you completely off the hobby hope to see you on here more and more!
