Hi from Wiltshire

6 months ago | Jim (Member)

Hello fellow brewers,

Am very new to home brewing. Have successfully made up 3 kits (Wherry, Nelson's Revenge and Smuggler's SPA) although from reading the posts here I have a long way to go before I can started on extract / AG and such like. As someone who enjoys making a big mess, the quasi-chemical nature of cooking, and drinking gallons of real ale, I can't believe it has taken me so long to start!

Sorry to dive straight in with a problem, but I have hit a snag on brew no. 4, on which note I am going straight over to 'General Brewing Discussions' to post it there and beg for some expert advice...

Read responses...

Wow - loads of Wiltshire brewers!

Moved here in October to start a new job, and the prettier half also grew up in this part of the world. Currently living in the Woodford Valley, just north of Salisbury and only a few miles away from Brew HQ at Old Sarum. Greg - I popped in a few weeks ago to buy some bits and pieces, and to ask loads of stupid newbie questions - made the poor wife stand around while you and I chatted for about an hour. Luckily she's a patient girl!

Another Wiltshire resident here as well (for the last 4 years). Southern Salisbury.
Also popped in to Brew HQ last week to get a few kits, stood and watched Greg load up all your deliveries.

Currently on tap: Brupaks Linthwaite Light. (very nice)
Ready to keg: Coopers Australian Pale Ale. (but my second kegs cap has broken whilst cleaning out the remnants of the last brew last night...disaster...another trip to Brew HQ this afternoon.)

Hi Rich and welcome

It's not such a leap to extract brewing. Have a look as this post:

http://www.brewuk.co.uk/forum/topic/moving-from-kits-to-extract

Also, have a look at the Way to Amarillo IPA recipe on this site. It's easy!

Planning: Tony's Twibute (AG - BIAB)
Fermenting: Turbo Cider
Drinking: Way to Amarillo IPA, Thai PA (Extract)
Conditioning: Fuller's Discovery Clone (Extract), 5L Six Pack Bitter (Extract)
