Hello from Broadford

[kennek]

Hi all

New to brewing and just bottled a coopers lager that came with the kit. Pretty simple for most here I know (so pls stop the eye rolling lol) but having no experience brewing myself this site has been great answering the many questions a noob has re sanitizing, temps, SG readings etc etc.

So a big thanks to those here sharing their knowledge.

Next one is a coopers aussie pale ale :drinks:

Cheers
Ken

Great Kit the Pale Ale.. SWMBO's favorite and I have one on in a keg at the moment.. was always my go to kit as a base for all my beers when I was kits'n'bits brewing.. a nice solid base to build up.

I used to get up your way on the dirt bike quite a bit and used to martial at the World Moto x GP up there.. good times from what I can remember :lol:

Cheers

Yes I see a lot of people build up/add different things etc to the kits. Looking forward to it myself once I get the hang of the basics. Just being super careful sanitizing "everything" the wort comes in contact with and set up a temp controlled fridge for less hassles.

Just moved here Yob and haven't even been to the local track yet but hear the bikes most w'ends. Used to ride a fair bit up in the strathbogie ranges on the ol XR 400. Good times!

Hey thanks for the welcome
And Rob I may just throw the odd stupid question at you lol. And yeah I travel past Seymour to Euroa each day for work.

No worries buddy anytime, and don't worry about asking questions it's all a learning curve. I still ask questions about things I'm struggling with. It's just about what stage you are at in your brewing journey.

Welcome kennek! You are in great hands here champ.

Welcome mate. You don't need a flame suit because you're starting with kits and bits, it's where 99% of us started out too. But it sounds like you're on the right track, get familiar with the basics and then start stepping things up one at a time.

Just don't eat the yellow snow,
