Long time lurker, first time brewer

[Ntopps93]

Hi everyone, I’ve lurked these forums for a while and finally decided to jump in! I’m a first time brewer from the north east of England, and just finished bottling my first batch of a Wilko’s IPA extract kit.
Had a little taste and I’m absolutely blown away that I was actually able to produce a somewhat nice tasting grog, even if it was flat and warm!
Now for the long wait for bottle conditioning, so I’ll fill my time with posting on here. Cheers everyone

Hello, and welcome. I hope it turns out well! The waiting is the hard part, but it'll be worth it, I am sure.

Welcome. I am only at this homebrew malarkey for 6 months now. I’m still blown away by the quality of the kits. Look out for the Mangrove Jacks Craft Series of kits. I’ve done 4 of them so far, the best for me so far is the Juicy Session IPA. I can highly recommend. Enjoy your first brew, nothing like drinking your own beer.

Hi, been doing this just a year myself. 12 brews in, and I'm totally hooked. If you have a handy Wilko near you, have a go at their Thirsty Devil red ale - it's lovely. See review section for my review.
