A beer homebrew to be proud of!

[pinnacle]

Hello all,

I have never posted here before but have been lurking for quite some time!

just wanted to give a big thanks to everyone on the forum for all the advice and knowledge I've picked up,

so far i have brewed a youngs lager (still in it keg, still cloudy and not much of a taste to it, has been conditioning for about a month, me thinks it might be something to do with it being a ale yeast, not sure on that one)

but i have also brewed a coopers brewmaster pilsner, younger than the youngs lager but already tastes lovely, fairly close to pilsner urquell in its depth and aroma. both kits used beer enhancer ( i only used 800g for the pilsner as directed)

have already got a second pilsener on the brew and have also got a pack of morgans finishing hops (saaz) which i thought were added after fermentation but instructions say to add before yeast? so will save that for the next brew (may need to get another FV!)

anyway take it easy guys and i hope homebrewing brings you as much satisfaction as it does me!

Looks a tasty brew mate!!!
Glad you are finding a real satisfaction making your own beer! At least you aren't lining Gordons pockets with taxes that should have been removed after they were added for just about every major conflict we got into since the year dot!!

Unfortunately just like the tax on road fuel, if you weren't paying it on alcohol, you just be paying more income tax, so you should be thankful that at least with beer and wine you can avoid a big chunk of it.

Good luck with it, seems like you are having success already. I am hooked on this too I've drunk around 160 pints of homebrew recently, currently at 50p a pint (including equipment costs) , it's ths only thing that ISN'T a rip off in this country.
