Hairy Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Welcome aboard mate. Always glad to meet the new kid on the block. [cool] Especially when they've got the right stuff. But they will need to take their brewing progression step by step. I really should be embarrassed to know New Kids on the Block references. Luckily I don't embarrass easily [biggrin] I'm hangin' tough [innocent] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimZ1525228685 Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Hi, I started brewing late last year. Didn't take me long to get into hops and specialty grains! I think that's far enough for me, I think my fun:work ratio will decline too fast beyond there... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And don't be surprised if your view changes. As you progress further and learn more, the fun:work ratio blurs and brewing work becomes fun.

FuseO Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Gents, I have recently purchased myself a Coopers Home Brew Kit and am in the last stages of fermentation. Couldn't be happier right now! I feel like a scientist or something. Doing experiments and stuff. Seeing the yeast become active! It's all so exciting! Proper good fun [biggrin] I will be cleaning the bottles over the long weekend (insert massive sigh) and cannot explain how much I don't want to have to do this but I totally understand the seriousness of not doing it. I'm not one for doing things half arsed so I just have to buck up and get it done. I have already read so many of your posts and look forward to contributing where I can and also getting more hints and tips and general info from you all. Cheers [joyful] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairy Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Welcome aboard FuseO. I hope you wear a lab coat and glasses when brewing [biggrin] Definitely do things right; no short cuts. A little pain now will save you tipping out a whole batch of your hard work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FuseO Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Thanks Hairy. Good advice for the novice brewer. P.S. The lab coat and glasses are never out of reach [cool] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cynic Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 Hi all Shane here from Fourways, South Africa. Started brewing about 6 months ago and can now lay claim to a moderately drinkable swill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairy Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 Welcome to the forum Cynic. The challenge now is to move from moderately drinkable swill to commercial quality craft beer. I am still in the moderately drinkable swill category. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cynic Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 Thanks for the greeting, Hairy. I am brewing in the most basic manner, but I have lofty goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
