First brew setup yesterday

I visited a friend in Edinburgh yesterday and we setup our first ever brew together!

We bought a starter kit from the brew store in Edinburgh, which comes with all the gubbins you need to ferment your brew and the various syphons, thermometers, bits and pieces and also a barrel, which is very handy.

This time around we kept it very simple and just did the pre-made brew with malt extract and hop pellets, but we decided this was best for a first run through. Once we have familiarised ourselves with the time periods, the fermentation period and various parts of the process we'll then look at brewing with malts and dried hops, so that we can create our own recipes and get into the nitty-gritty of it.

I'll keep you posted!
