HI Chaps (and chapesses?)

My name is Ben from Lancashire, although I haven't posted on the forum yet since i registered I have been learning the basics and i must say the forum is fantastic!

I am going to update my profile and do a post later tonight detailing my first 3 basic home brews that are fermenting as we speak (TC 1g, Rasberryade 1g, ginger beer 1g)

I have a noob question to ask which i will post in the relevant section :-)

anyway...good to be here!

Ben

Yeah why the hell not. Technically I live in nelson, I put BURNLEY so people may have heard of it. But I've only brewed a few turbo cider attempts my first wow is clearing at the minute. My first beer kit is in the FV bubbling away at the minute and I've got an attempt at Cumberland brandy-ish in 2 DJ. I would like to get into AG but I've not the equipment and I'm a little strapped for cash at the minute.

Welcome to the forum, i too am from lancashire.
I'm sure you'll find this place really usefull, i know i have.

I joined here hoping to get in to AG, i have since built the stuff on a budget, all be it a lot smaller than most on here. I am currently brewing extract as i have not the time to do AG (may be able to do some over Christmas).
My AG setup cost me about £25 (although it isn't fully complete (i don't have a cooler).

Breif details of how cheap it can be
bought 5 15 ltr buckets from ebay - £15 (one for boiler, one for HLT & mash Tun, and 3 FVs)
1 Kettle from tesco - £4.50
found some taps and connectors on ebay for around £3
silicone baking tray to cut up for washers, etc - £1
Offcut peice of 15mm copper pipe from builders merchants for manifold and connecting taps - £2

Mash tun was ione of the buckest, tap added, wraped and sealed with silver backed leftover carpet underlay - which is quite effective.
It has taken me about a year, as i'm strapped for time, but i'm getting there.

That is it really, just followed the 'how to' section on here to make stuff - would have taken me much longer, if at all, if i hadn't.

Good luck
