Progress update.... Mexican Cerveza kit is currently fermenting in my garage. Should be ready for bottling soon.

Have just ordered all of the grain/hops and other gubbins required to make a Milk Stout from scratch. This is where it starts to get serious.

I have my old da’s sherry recipe to hand.  Might give it a whirl this year. Happy memories of a pale sitting in a corner or the living room and the whole hoose reeking like a distillery.

Pail.

In the corner of the living room?

The rest of the family could have been doing anything in there - better than using the outside lav.

Wife got me a homebrew ale kit for xmas, but had to return it, as she hadn't taken into consideration the cost of the fermenting kit, the bottles, the bucket etc, and more importantly, no space to keep everything.

Just had a look in the cupboard there as I remember picking some things up when the beast from the east was coming but I never got round to making it.

One of the pouches is a month out of date but the bags of yayo are long out of date. What's the worst that will happen if I use them? They've been stored dry and covered up. 

I'll need to pick up two fermenting buckets.

Love the pale ales.

They will be fine. Just brew them.

Kits in the main are pish, although some of the Cooper's ones are decent with some tweaks and fermenting them with a shorter brewlength.

It doesn't take much outlay to start brewing cracking beers. A cheeky wee IPA on the go not long ago laden with Cascade and Simcoe hops 😉
