My first full grain brew coming soon! :)

Post by stevetk189 » Sat Jul 16, 2011 4:37 pm

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 [-o<

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?

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

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!

What an IDIOT, I have a friend called Graham Walker, must have been confused :oops: Or had too many beers.

Perhaps your friend has written a home brewing book... :lol:

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 it :roll:
