Hi all,
Got a basic brew kit as a present 20 months ago living in Spain, which came with a Munton's Gold IPA kit. We didn't have space, so it spent most that time on our terrace. It was expiring, so last month I thought I'd have my first shot at brewing. By then I'd moved back to the UK, so we had the space, and beer is damn expensive here. I pitched too high (mmm... off bananna) and bottled too soon. The way it came out them bottles, you'd have thought I'd won the Monaco F1. I'm sure the only reason I didn't get bottle bombs was because I didn't leave it long enough to mature... but it was drinkable, just, and it was drunk. No small part thanks to the forum, I'm hooked and I reckon I'm just about getting the hang of the basics; the fv in now sitting in pool of 20C water heated with a cheap aquarium heater, and I've even made one of these using parts lying around the old man's place: http://www.homebrewtalk.com/showthread.php?t=381452. The Evil Dog is conditioning for Christmas, Youngs AIPA clearing in the fv, a Wherry ready to go in on Sunday, and a Coopers Cerveza in the pipeline.
Any suggestions of what to put on once this lot is done? I'm think perhaps a Brupak West Riding Wheat.
