I'd be really interesting in the recipe or how you did it and how it turned out if you don't mind letting us know. Especially with the fresh cherries. Thanks

Will do, thanks.

Appreciate the advice, yes maybe it's a little too much for a beginner. I'll have a go with something more simple for starters and see how it goes from there. Thanks again.

Thanks for that, really appreciate both replies and the link. Would the Kent Goldings hops substitute ok? Can't seem to find the US ones for sale in the UK.

Hiya All Had a little dip into brewing had a break now back to try again and saw this as wanting to do a stout. The YouTube link didn't work. Just after some tips on what you actually do haha. Do you use some of the water to boil the hops and then add it back to the brewing bucket? Do the...

Hi Dutto Thanks for the offer, yes I'll definitely do that. It'd be good to meet up, have a sample and discuss all things beer. :thumb: Thanks again for the offer and Merry Christmas and all the best for the New Year.

Thanks chaps, I'm quite happy to wait. Hopefully as I progress then all grain brewing will follow. I'll let you know how it goes.

Thanks, I'll do as you suggest and try it in stages. I'll definitely do a review once drinking it too.

Ah well, a bit of an update. Started it two weeks ago, a Brewmaker Shire Mild kit from the shop in Grimsby, it says ready to drink in about 10 days! Did as the instructions said but instead of adding 1kg of sugar I used 1kg of Muntons beer enhancer. I was a bit premature pitching the yeast as it...

Oh well, I've took the plunge! Probably start it in the next couple of days :thumb:

Cheers Bigcol49, your right. I've just ordered the book 'Brew' by James Morton after seeing it recommended on here so that will give me something to do while waiting for Santa. The place I've earmarked for my FV is full of presents at the minute too so probably easier just to wait, though you...

lol, yes I'm going to pop and have a look next week. She was just hinting that family 'might' have bought me some equipment that I'd mentioned already for xmas, I'm just going to have to ask what as I want to get cracking on with it.

Thanks again all for your welcomes and tips. I was going to pop to Grimsby Home Brew next week but the wife has told me not to go buying anything yet so I guess that's Christmas prezzies sorted for some lol. Thanks Dutto for the tips on transportation, I'd call Skegness local :thumb: , it's...

Looking through everything I can see mild isn't that popular. I'll have a chat in the shop and could always try a Geordie Mild, for £8.75 it isn't too much of a loss if I make a pigs ear of it!

Thanks terrym, a great beginners guide. I'd just spoken to the wife about the LHBS in Grimsby, I'll definitely pay them a visit and I'm sure they'll help with advice for starting with their kits. Any recommendations for a good beginners kit for mild? Especially if any of you have tried the kits...

Thanks for the welcome and the travel tips. I'll get my head around all the basics first, read plenty on here and watch some Youtube vids! I'm guessing get a beginners start up kit first and then progress?

Hi Everyone As the title says I'm a complete newbie in the beer brewing world from Grimsby, looking for help and advice on starting up. I'm wanting to start brewing English mild, used to drink it years ago but ended up a lager lout (only joking about the lout) and want to start brewing my own...
