Just a quick hello and a thank you to all for posting such great advice and help threads for a newbie like myself. I am firmly hooked now thanks to your efforts!
I took the plunge a couple of weeks ago after lurking on here and gaining an initial understanding of what's what... I started off by brewing a slight variation on a Coopers Stout kit, with added fuggles pellets & some S04 yeast - all in the kitchen using a Coopers Starter Kit... went very well considering my inexperience! It's all bottled and sat conditioning now.
This week I finished building a ferm freezer in the garage for the second brew (Razorback IPA) which I've brewed short to 19L and stuck in a carboy.
I am well pleased with myself for doing this so quickly :mrgreen: And thanks to the excellent write ups here on the forum I didn't kill myself (or anyone else) in the process!
Click for video of Brew #2 after 48hrs
I am already thinking about how to move to BIAB later this year and maybe even an AG setup if I'm given the all clear by the wife (any tips on handling SWMBO in that regard appreciated!)
So thanks again for the great forum and all of the help, its a daily read for me now!
I'm going back out to the garage now to watch brew #2 some more :
