My name is Simon and I ride a folding bike.
Started brewing from a Boots kit I got for Xmas 40 or so years ago and progressed to having a small 'production line' using kits bought from DIY stores and Boots before we found local homebrew shops. Beast kit we found for a bitter type beer was Kwoffit. Two fermentation buckets and two Rotokegs kept us going.
Kids came along and then a house move meant we lacked space, or rather filled it with other stuff, and brewing ceased c1999. Barrels kegs etc eventually went to the charity shop.
Fast forward, now semi retired and two of us rattling around in a four bed and I'm trying again.
Drove over the brew shop at the Black Cat junction last week and I've now got a new fermenter, a top float king keg and a first brew just ending primary fermentation.
Should rack it off over the weekend and into the keg for secondary ferment and to settle in time for Xmas.
Interested in experiences of other returnees.
