Newbie... complete newbie
Morning Ladies and Gents.
My name is Phil,
Recently started my own brew, only this morning.
I live in Morpeth, Northumberland. And I work for Tesco, not on the Beer, Wines and Spirits aisle unfortunetly
Not much of a drinker albeit special occassions, I appreciate a good drink though.
This morning I bought a fermenter and a pressure barrel from Wilkos, I know its cheap but im a first timer.
I also purchased a hydrometre, sterilising powder, long spoon, airlocks and a syphon.
I have just finished brewing (initially) coopers lager. Which I bought for £12. I am more a bitter man though!
Sterilised, and added the malt with hot water, before mixing and topping up to 20L. Added water depending on temp to keep it in range.
Before adding my yeast, the gort was in range for a starting beer according to my hydrometre. Now the air lock is added its time to sit back and keep an eye on it.
All advice will be welcomed with open arms :)
Cheers,
Phil
