Re: Glass or plastic?
This citra you talk of, is it a hop? Can I add hops to any kit beer? I have also seen people sell pellets, are they worth it? Also if I was thinking of changing the flavours a little, could I add, say lemons to the fermentation process? Thanks xxx

Re: Glass or plastic?
Thanks so much for the quick responses. For a first timer what would you suggest? I don't have a bench capper, and probably won't be able to invest in something like that for a while.

Re: Help a complete idiot :)
Thanks guys for the number of responses seems like I am in good hands. I popped along down to wilko's today. They had the big fermenting container, and also a pressure barrel. Is it possible to brew it in the pressure barrel, or do I want to transfer it to the barrel ideally after it has brewed? In ...
