     Just taken my first step into Home Brewing with the Youngs Bitter Brew Kit. Not set up yet, but will keep you updated. Anyone else into home brewing?

     Got mine from Homebrew 4U

    Great little company with a forum on the site for advise. Basic kit is £25 for Barrel, and gear to brew 40 pints.

    I'm collecting my own bottles from work rather than forking out for new ones, so not starting brewing just yet.

     Prefer to bottle mine so I can put them in the fridge and give them away to friends and family :-)
