Hi from sunny South Wales

[D.S.F.A]

I have been reading the forum for a while and thought it was about time I started posting.
My history in brewing has mainly been with wine. But as my wife has started drinking Pear cider (refreshing after a hard day in work) I have taken the plunge and got my hands on an On the rocks Pear cider for her and a Coopers European Lager for myself.
I'm planning on putting both of these in some kind of keg. but I do like the sound of all grain in the future .
I would also like to apologise for the questions a relative beginner will be asking in the future.

Yay more Welsh people! We're taking over the forum bit by bit!
Croeso!
That's all the Welsh I know though, tbh.
Whereabouts are you?

Thanks guys. I'm in Cardiff and the thing that shocks me is the lack of home brew supplies in the city? Only Wilkinson really sell anything?

 

[Will12283]

There is not a lot in South Wales at all. I get most of mine online or from wilko and tesco

there is a place in barry but nearer you than me in swansea

Tesco do periodic(almost monthly?) 25% off homebrew with free click&collect.
really worth doing cos you can collect from your closest store and get some bargains!

There is Abertawe homebrew but not used them in ages so don't know what they have stock wise

Too many pubs in Cardiff to bother brewing your own!
