Just thought I'd login and post a hello and a big thanks........
I bought my wife a homebrew kit for christmas then realised I knew a bit about drinking beer but not much about making it, I found Oliver and Geoffs site and forum the most relaxed and informative after much surfing and digesting.
I've basically picked up a lot of what I know about homebrewing by reading through the forum for the last month, so a big thanks to all of you who asked the questions I needed answers to and those who are more than willing to help out with thier replies
Anyway we sat down to try a bottle (or 3 or 4 ) of our first batch tonight and even though it's a bit soon, only a fortnight in the bottle, it tastes pretty good, and she likes it !
So... the tips and advice you guys have offered have worked for me.
My wife says I've definitely got the homebrewing bug (I think it's an infection from a stray microbe myself !) so I thought stick my head up and say thanks rather than just dropping in unnoticed.
Thanks everyone.
Cheers
