Bad Idea Beers
Just wanted to say hi and introduce myself to the forum.
Me and 2 friends decided in March 2015 that we would like to start brewing our own beer. When I told the better half she just laughed and said "yeah of course you do, Mark this will never happen, and you know it".
A week later and research done I set about buying all the equipment. We thought we would go larger than a standard 20l set, so we bought;
72l electric boil kettle
60l fermenter (just bought another to increase batch size)
5l easy kegs
Started saving all our old bottles (not paying 50p-£1 for an empty one!)
When the equipment got delivered you can imagine what the other half said. Lots of words that I can't put on here and then told me to get it straight out into the shed (now the man cave) :razz:
So far all the beers have come out tasting amazing (probably a bit biased) so we will be increasing the batches to 60l.
We all like pic so here are some of the first 3 batches!
