i'm basically gonna shill brewuk.co.uk because i've used them and they're good, and cheaper than amazon

ipa kits exist but the one i'm seeing seems to literally be "add boiling water to hopped syrup, top up with cold water" - like i don't see that failing but it's not really brewing, it's steeping a teabag. the good thing about this kit is that you get the beer ingredients, a storage barrel, a big fuckoff fermenting bin + airlock (possibly too big?), some steriliser, a hydrometer + thermometer, and some misc handy bits of plastic. it would be a decent start to see if you get workable booze out of it, and if you want to progress then, as per YTC's post above, you can use it as a basis for upgrading your kit

assuming you want to be a retard like me and buy all the kit all at once, you want:

  • two of these buckets with lids and airlocks; one to ferment in, and one to move your beer into for bottling once fermentation is over
  • a rubber hose for getting beer out of your bucket and for beating the poo poo out of dogs
  • a big pot; larger the better, really, but 15l is very workable.
  • big spoon, for stirring pot
  • starsan; this poo poo is magic. 5ml goes in 5 litres of water and will sterilise whatever it touches; the diluted form is good for ages, and is also food-safe and tasteless. if used correctly it will last for ages; i, being a retard, get through this like water.
  • a big sieve
  • a floaty thermometer
  • two slap-on therms for your fermenters
  • two hydrometers; one as a spare. this is essential, as you measure fermentation progress by taking samples and checking density. if you bottle stuff that's still fermenting you have possibly created bombs
  • turkey baster for taking samples to put the hydrometer in
  • bottles and caps; buy caps, re-use bottles
  • a bottle filling stick; this attaches to the other end of your hose
  • bottle capper
  • muslin bags for holding grains for steeping

imo, dedicated cleaner is not needed; just use soap and water and rinse.

start with extract brews, get the plan down; you need hops, malt extract, grains for steeping, and yeast. i have not had any issues buying live yeast but it's very possible that you might; maybe stick to dry yeast to start. you will need normal table sugar for carbing the beer when you bottle.

i would advise starting with a simple pale ale that's about 5%, as per the above post. they're hoppy, meaning they're a bit more forgiving of any accidental bacterial contamination, and they use non-insane amounts of pale malt, which means the yeast won't choke and die and fail to ferment everything. yeast doesn't really like complex sugars and you get more of those in dark malts

i will not do a full recipe but the broad strokes are:

  • start heating ~5l water in pan. boil kettle
  • sterilise your fermenting bucket and work surfaces while you wait.
  • once you have 2/3rds of a pan at 75C, add your steeping grains. steep for half an hour; your water is now wort
  • remove grains. heat to 100C either by adding boiling water or by waiting
  • add malt extract. add your 60mins hops; start timing
  • add extra hops when you're meant to
  • turn off the heat after 1hr. everything that touches the beer after this point must be sterile. everything.
  • you are supposed to cool your wort by running a wort chiller through it. i simply seal everything up and leave it overnight
  • once beer is at right temperature, take initial hydrometer sample and record the density. put yeast in it, attach airlock
  • wait 8hrs; realise yeast is going mental.
  • wait 3 days for bubbling to die down; take hydrometer sample
  • take hydrometer samples every couple days until the density levels off, probably at about 1.013 for the above recipe but if it's not that level who cares
  • when beer has stopped fermenting, prepare to rack it off the yeast into another bucket. work out how much sugar you need to carb it, boil up that much sugar, add to the bucket you're racking into, then put the beer on top of the sugar solution
  • place in bottles

after your first try you'll realise what else you need to make life easier for yourself. then do brew-in-a-bag all-grain recipes once you've got the hang of things

Here you go bobby I updated some with notes from my notebook

pedericko: sells bad tasting saussies at markets across the uk and is the current thread mvp (Most vicious pleb).He offers a goon discount on his sausages if you ask him "do you have stairs in your sausage house"

the big taff man: rugby guy, he keeps a notebook on all posters (getting married soon), loves arranging goonmeets where fraction isnt invited.

party boat: northern, mysterious, watches anime, his favourite flavour of monster munch is the wrong one, idolises ross from friends

bozza: trains (like thomas not like arnie) plays in a marching band, is bald, marching band seriously? no really thats no joke.

jose: northern, not so mysterious loves smoking meats and sous vising meats and meats

fraction: kills dogs and dates older women also moans about her job a lot and secretly prefers cats

down jacket fetish: classic bants, loves a cheeky nandos, prefers a sea bass to a kebab, drinks special brew (but from a glass), goes to nandos for the ambience, his picture was once used in a daily sport article for the story "sex with tesco value lasagne blistered my bellend", makes his own fudge - no one asked if he packs it

phoon: old man, lives in birmingham, accompanied fraction in killing several dogs at crufts. hes old as hell, just make old jokes at him, you can repeat them and he wont realise as hes so old he will have forgotten the first time you said them, watche countdown for the quiz element and gets annoyed when the camera focuses on Rachel Riley rather than the numbers and letters

gnarlyhotep: kills thread every few hundred pages, top mod, doesnt understand this thread

mfcrocker: kills goons and buries them under a patio, LOVES social justice and saving the oppressed, even when they dont need saving

ratjaculation: imagines how good people are at smash bros no commitment in anything, loves the national trust, panda pop fan (not sure which flavour he likes best if its not blue raspberry then he can gently caress off), posting not as good as his avatar

vitamins: same av, problematic - Ive written down "spiders fall out of trousers?" but im not sure why

bobby deluxes fat mam: i am not happy about this trope but what the hey, taff is payin the bills her son is a failed weather wizard
