Just started brewing in May after getting a kit as a gift, thought it would be a load of hassle with dissapointing results. Pleasantly surprised at how it worked out, and have done around sixteen brews since! Getting a bit more curious/experimental recently, so it's great to have discovered this forum!
Welcome man, great name! Where in the country are you based?
Welcome, BB. Do you make mead?
welcome brew bee 16 brews in 6 mnts is some going lol , have a look in the kit brewing section loads of great hints and tricks on kit hacking , lads on here are always willing to give great advice ....i was going to say take your time and ease yourself in slowly but its too late for you now lol
Am based in Sligo. Mead is on my to-do list, but it won't bee this year.... Hope to get a hive or two up and running at some point, but need to wrap up a few other projects first. Am going to take the hacking bit slowly, with non-hack brews inbetween. Don't want to land myself with twenty gallons of cack!
dont be put off by the fancy names of the grains , lord eoins kit hack guide is so easy to follow . just adding a small amount of grain and hops will lift a kit amazingly and for so little work , a 5 /10 l pot and a few muslin bags and off you go
