Does anyone on here dabble in home brew?

Got a kit for xmas and just bottled my first. Heres to hoping its drinkable.

Made my first home brew 50yrs ago in a plastic bin, everything was made from the raw ingredients back then which sometimes resulted in a few bottles exploding.
Still make my own, but now use the home brew kit .

Cheers Greg.

Aha sweet, what are you brewing now?

Good for you...I have been brewing for quite a few years but I do Spirits only....As my wife and I are big on Scotch n Bourbons ...but I have also done all the others Sambucca,Tia Maria, Baileys, Rums,Tequila, Cognac,Etc Etc...lots of fun and good times

Hi, I have tried most of the beers at different times and now mostly brew Coopers Lager, to change the taste I sometimes put in extra yeast. The most important thing is to make sure that all your implements are kept sterile. I tend to make a few batches before it gets too hot, I find it easier to keep the temperature up during brewing than trying to cool it down.

Cheers Greg.
