home brewing anyone into it

im getting my first wine home brew kit today, iv seen alot about the latest kits and there meant to be quite good now , im going to get a coopers microbrew kit next with does larger , bitter , cider. any one else do it and got any tips

no tips but would be interested in the outcome!

Ive been doing quite a lot over the last 12 months.

the kits can be good, try a few different ones.

Then try starting from scratch, its even more satisfying, and worked out about 50p a bottle of wine for me!

just make sure everything, absolutely everything is sterilised and also dont be tempted to keep opening and smell/tasting mid brew, you want as little air to get in as possible.

A mate makes a lot of cider, tastes a lot like rotten urine tbh.

it will only taste bad if done badly

you get out what you put in.

but being a chemist helps!

Yes, there appears to be a definate correlation between chemists and homebrew.

haha, used to following precedures to the letter and working with sterile inert environments.

Cooking and stuff like that is chemistry anyway!

I really want to get into it but I can't afford the beer belly at the moment

I've just had a look around t'interweb and that Coopers kit does look good! My Grandpa used to turn just about everything into beer or wine. Tips to his house became a real test of your stomachs ability to cope!

I may be tempted by that kit myself.....
