Market research

[beer novice]

Deadman,thanks and look forward to more chats.
Billythegyspy I recently tried Old engine oil,which I really enjoyed.i am willing to try anything and today I quickly ran in to tesco and got  Youngs double chocolate.I havent tried any Belguim beers but I am looking forward to it,anything you would recommend?

[Greg2013]

Beernovice what beers do you like drinking yourself ? Stay away from largers initially would be my advice as a fellow novice that has made and continues to make mistakes. Try homebrewing a stout/porter or even an English brown ale, they tend to be easier to get good results for beginners like us and are more tolerant of temperature fluctuations.

[beer novice]

What type of stout/porter or English brown ale would you recommend and where to buy deadman,I cant wait to get started

@novicebrewer, Are you for real?
Sinking money in the beer industry with (seemingly) no knowledge of the product or production.
What have your business interests been to date?
Be aware this is a very public place, so a hint will suffice.

Are you calling troll Johnrm?

BTW, thanks a million billythegypsy, just watched the Burgundies of Belgium and the Bohemian Connection on youtube. Brilliant stuff!

[johnrm]

Edited previous post mr_happy.

Not Troll, curious.
Minimal info given, loads of contributions from the NHC crew.
He/She has had little exposure to Beer styles and has no knowledge of the process.
Looking for advice on English Ales and spells Belgium wrong?
I think the Tax man is sniffing.
:-P

[mr hoppy]

That would give a different meaning to "market research"!

[beer novice]

No I am not the tax man,john I must be allowed the odd spelling mistake when using an IPhone to reply.I think my name lets people know I know very little about beer,hence as I have said in past posts, I am here to learn.Not really sure what my past has got to do with anything,but if it helps I am not a mass murderer

I am looking for someone to help me out,that's all nothing more nothing less.If someone can that's great if not that's ok to,I thought I would try here first.

I must admit its a good forum with plenty of advice and help for anyone learning or wanting to improve and share their knowledge.

[johnrm]

You are dead right, there's lots of info on here and people are more than willing to help and offer advice and support in good faith.
A good start would be to read this thread in its entirety, as much direction as you need for the moment  has been given already.

First things first. What part of the country are you in?

If you live near a brewday or someone just brewing a batch, maybe you can tag along and help out grinding grain etc. No better way to learn about brewing than by being there.

Also, once we know where you are maybe someone can recommend a good offlicense near by and some quality beers. Tesco have a pretty wide range of beers, but I find they can be pretty hit-or-miss unless you know what you're looking for. (eg. that double choc stout looks pretty promising on the shelf, but I didn't like the beer much at all)

Beer novice you are looking for professional input from amateur brewers, we are all here to help amateurs progress their hobby and in some cases our members go on to work in the industry or set up their own breweries.
Could I suggest politely that you stop talking in generalities at this point and ask specific questions which we can help you with.
This thread has become wishy washy and distracts our contributors from helping other brewing members who are prepared to spell out exactly their problems and we can help directly.
