Hi All,
So I just discovered that the Mrs is going to get me a home brew setup for Christmas as I've been banging on about wanting to do it for quite a while.
After looking on YouTube I notice that a majority of people just use what I gather is malt extract from a can and dump it in the fermenter.
Personally I'd like to make my own from scratch so it's truly my own beer.
Anyway, I'm rambling a bit here so back to the point.
So basically she's said the budget is about £70. I know there are a few brewers on here and thought I'd ask advice on whether this is viable and If so if there is any essential advice you could give etc... I'd be brewing ale, bitter etc as I can't stand lager.
Apologies if this is a bit jumbled!!
Many thanks
Ben
