Very early hours this morning (still drunk 
) i got the out of date Wilko elderflower wine kit I've had for years on the go with a sachet of all purpose wine yeast from crossmyloof.
Fingers crossed, it's bubbling away nicely now.

Did my first ever ārealā lager today. I usually cheat and use a Cali Common yeast but Iām not today. I chilled the wort down to 24 degrees but it wasnāt moving after that so I stopped there. Itās now in the FV in the brew fridge. When it gets down to about 12 degrees Iāll pitch two packs of CML Hell.

I've put my first MJ Pink Grapefruit IPA on today. It smelled lovely when I cut it open so I am definitely looking forward to it.
The plan is that I'll get that bottled up and stashed away for Christmas, but I'll see how it goes once I sample one.

At about 11.15pm it was down to a little above 13 degrees so I pitched two packs of CML Hell. Just sprinkled over the top of the wort just as Iāve always done. Waiting for the magic to happen.
I bottled two batches in one day with the help of my wife who attends the siphon. I use the half-liter bottles with the flip-top. It wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be and it was nice to line them up on the shelves since it shows the effort put in.
I'll be making a batch on Tuesday, just need to buy some sugar and water.

Sounds great. Where did you find the recipie - within the forum?
Ive woken to my very first 5ltr AG kit bubbling at 60 a min. I was a tad worried last night having spent 6 odd hours creating it.

Brill. Currently im finding watching a demijohn more exciting than watching tv.
This is how I started with AG. I think a lot of us did. What yeast are you using?
Still haven't had chance yet as there is always something cropping up....

Knocked the proverbial out of that lot Dave...
Harvested my homegrown cascade during a dry spell yesterday and used it all in a big whirlpool addition today, utilising the malt pipe to keep them all contained.
90% pops pale malt
10% caramalt
30 IBUs UK Chinook bittering
Plus all the cascade in the WP - 20 mins @ 75C
2 packs Pia yeast
30L @ 1.047
