Is there anyone out there who can help me with what I need to start making home brew bitter???
ie - what I need and what I need to do
Ambrose I need the knowledge 😉
There used to be a homebrew shop on Cowbridge Rd, Cardiff. I've tried it in the past and was surprised at how drinkable the beer was. From memory, you'll need a large plastic bucket about the size of a beer barrel. A warm place to keep it (or a heater). Add ingredients (I used one of the kits and results were good). Then when done siphon into bottles or a large plastic pressurised barrel. It then undergoes secondary fermentation in the barrel and pressure builds up. Unless you get your mates round and polish off 40 pints in one sitting, it's worth using a CO2 cylinder to keep the barrel charged up. Only other thing you'll need is tubing to siphon out into barrel or bottles and something to sterilize the lot. It was a long time ago that I tried it, but that's about it. I used barrel instead of bottles, because I couldn't be bothered with sterilising all the bottles. Surprisingly easy and good results. You'll see a lot of your friends too!

ta Tinners I'll have a look down there next week and see what they've got 😉
(I think it was called "Cellars" and just down the road from KwikFit, same side of the road. Was a long time ago, though, so not sure if still there)
