Sourcing the Equipment

Ok so first task was to get myself some equipment. I checked out the link my friend posted, and then looked what sort of starter kits were available.

Hop Shop UK

There seemed to be two options of kits on most websites I looked at :

• Bottling
• Barrelling

Obviously being the utter amateur that I am and needed to know the differences, I used the power of Google plus asking on the conveniently located thread on eFestivals.*

Another great source of information is The Home Brew Forum and they are very friendly and helpful to n00bs like myself.

I decided that the Bottling method would suit me more due to being able to store them easier, transport them easier and drink them easier. 

After checking out that the kits were all I would need, I got some tips on a few extras that would make the process of home brewing easier so after pricing it all, the website linked above seemed to be the cheapest option. 

So in went the order!

* Many thanks to the people on eFestivals for the advise so far.. don't worry there will be more questions am sure!
