Hi folks,
Finally managed to get my order in for my remaining equipment items, fermenter bins, syphon tubing etc and ingredients!
Can't wait to get cracking on my first brew, just hope I don't mess it up
I'm going to have a go at "Brewer's Pride" from John Parkes' Home Brewing book. Anyone got the book and tried the recipe out?
My first full grain brew coming soon! :)

Brewers pride was my second AG, John Parke's book is a great reference when you are just starting out, it was the first book I had but I would recommend Graham Wheeler's Brew your own British real Ale. By the way the Brewers Pride was a nice beer.
Good luck
Good luck

Quick correction: Graham Wheeler wrote Brew Your Own British Real Ale. John's right - it's a brilliant book and it got me into all-grain. The sections on processes and techniques are invaluable for a first AG brew day. It's a book to read cover to cover (and then over again).

Cheers guys, I've been looking at the book on Amazon. Sounds like a must have addition to the bookshelf!

Perhaps your friend has written a home brewing book...crafty john wrote:What an IDIOT, I have a friend called Graham Walker, must have been confused Or had too many beers.staplefordbill wrote:Quick correction: Graham Wheeler wrote Brew Your Own British Real Ale.

He used to brew years ago, but said it was far too much hassle, he would rather buy it. Mind you he's a chartered accountant so he can afford itstevetk189 wrote:Perhaps your friend has written a home brewing book...crafty john wrote:What an IDIOT, I have a friend called Graham Walker, must have been confused Or had too many beers.staplefordbill wrote:Quick correction: Graham Wheeler wrote Brew Your Own British Real Ale.
