New brewer on the block

[Khellendros13]

Hi Guys,

I have been on the Coopers forum for a while, and started with the Coopers kits. First one was years ago, and that kit Lager I brewed was...unique.
The FV and PET's sat unused for a few years. Then I had the urge to give it another crack. Then I bought another beer kit, and a 3rd.

I started absorbing as much info as I could, started to appreciate good beers, spent some more money etc.

Probably about 10 brews under my belt now, mostly kits with the last 3 being full extract brews.

I have enjoyed having more control over the hop additions etc so plan to move to All Grain for the next brew. Maybe BIAB as I have my eye on a burner and 50L pot, then add an esky etc.

I like non coffee Porters, Stouts, balanced IPA's amongst others. Duckstein Porter was my fave from GABS.

Cheers

Aaron

Welcome to AHB. Plenty of reading to be done! Biab is pretty straight forward, I'm happy with results so far.

Did you end up getting that sweet pot you found? If I'd seen that before I got my 40L one I'd be all over it.

Was going to wait until next payday, but I just checked now and only 5 left. So I snapped it up and threw i na new bathmat to tip me over $100 for free shipping. $110 shipped for a nice new 50L pot and bathmat aint bad
