Hello to one and all

[steve4520]

Hi there ...my name's Steve and i've had an interest in home brewing for some time but never taken the steps to start.Checking out the internet for more info on the subject i soon realised that some help and advice would be very helpful.Due to recent health issues i'm now time rich money poor so have good reasons to do my own homebrew and any help and hints will be gratefully received...So as a total novice i'm wanting to know which brewing kit to start out with , a good lager and any other advice on kit.Hope to hear from anyone and soon to sample my own beer......Cheers :drunk:

Have a read through the Beer kit Reviews forum and see if any appeal, then see if you can get a starter kit that includes that :thumb:

I think a lager is a poor first choice. Not easy to make try a nice pale ale or similar

Welcome

I've never made a lager kit, so I can't comment, BUT - my Mrs thinks she only likes lager, but I brew a pale ale for her, call it lager, and she loves it! :lol:

I also suspect the lager kits won't come with lager specific yeast, so it might not be hard to brew, but maybe not so easy to get great results.. :hmm:
