Been recently researching the craft beer scene in the UK and found this channel Found https://www.youtube.com/@TheCraftBeerChannel. The boys dabble in Home Brewing and they have said that it's helped their appreciation for beer. So I thought bugger this I'm going to give this a go After a few weeks of a shit ton of research, purchasing some stuff online and visiting the Hop + Grain Brew Store in Marrickville last Saturday I completed my first 10l BIAB batch from a Simcoe SMASH IPA recipe.
The wort was fermenting like crazy for about a day and has slowed right down this afternoon. As per the recipe, I'm meant to be bottling this Sunday night. I'm going to be being to be using PET bottles as I couldn't source any suitable glass bottles. What's everyone's opinion on PET? I couldn't find much online. For a newbie and if I don't store these for long periods I am hoping I should be fine to not overly oxidize the beer. I'm hoping to source some glass for my next batch.
Having lots of fun so far!
