Nice one Jason, whatever you make (and it looks like you could make just about anything with that lot ) enjoy yourself !

Btw, you have got yeast, right?

[baldyjason]

yes i always have at least 5 packs of gervin in the fridge for those
"oh crap this packet of yeast that came with the kit is dead" moments and for when i get the urge for TC

[baldyjason]

fergot to add
after the success of my first all grain i thought id spend a bit and stock up on a selection of stuff so i can play around a bit
doubt they will last long though

Hi baldyjason, good to see your hooked. What kind of beer you after?

The hops you are picking up, although fairly flexible, are probably more suited to bittering than aroma. If you fancy making a stout using the old 7/2/1 ratio then you could simply use the Northern Brewer clicky

For a classic bitter you might want to swap the Brewers Gold for a packet of Fuggles or Goldings and then a lot more doors open up. For a pale ale you might want to grab a packet of Styrian Golding, Bobek, Cascade or Amerillo .

All my own opinion of course.

The Challenger brews are winners - do a forum search for 'all challenger brews' or Coniston Bluebird.

Happy brewing

Challenger is a great hop and doing single hop beers is great, as it is a brilliant learning experience for a new brewer.

... WOW! that's some brew!, what's the SG for that lot?

[SiHoltye]

About 1.346 for 23L I reckon. You'll need 6 packets of S-04, and one hell of a mash tun!

Best yeast i've tried for ages is Safale Yeast S-04

Ferments like shit off a shiney shovel!!
