Now Then

[monkier]

Now Then everyone,

My brother bought me a brew kit for christmas. Did my brew over the weekend and i've definitely got the bug. Can't wait to start bottling my beer so i can make my next batch. No idea what i'm going to try though.

Thought i'd drop by and say hi :)

Howdy. What beer did you make?

 

[Notlaw]

Hi, back at you :)

The kit was a Punk IPA. I'm not sure it'll taste like Punk IPA though based on how the hops smell, but it has been a long time since i had a Punk IPA so i could be wrong.

Welcome

don't worry about whether its a clone of this or that, if you got a decent pint then that is a good start!!

Was it Brewdog's own kit?

Yeah. Certainly the one they sell on their website.

Yeah. Certainly the one they sell on their website.

You'd hope it would be reasonably close then.

Got to be honest, i'm pretty pleased with it. I'll let you know as soon as i bottle it what it tastes like :)

BrewDog are doing homebrew kits now eh? Wow. I've been away too long!

Oh and WELCOME.

yeah I almost succumbed and got one the last time I was in bottledog but it was a bit pricey (or course being brewdog) so I passed up on it.

maybe next week when in London I might give in it's either a visit there or nelsons wines near south wimbledon tube station :-)

Bottled up my brew over the weekend. Tasted drinkable at least. Looking forward to how it will taste after carbonation.

Also got my next brew planned for this weekend :)

I've totally caught the home brew bug
