Came out really great!!

I used one of the very basic starter kits from northern brewer and now I want to upgrade everything 😳

The kit was this one:

Congratulations, looks great! That’s exactly how I started out. It makes a good first beer.

Best thing I ever upgraded was to get a fridge in freecycle and use it to control the temperature for fermenting. Made everything better :)

Enjoy!

Oh yeah. That’s a good idea. Regular old small fridge or something specific?

Yeah, just one of those under counter fridges. Check you can remove all the shelves and fit the bucket first is my top tip, not all of them fit. Then a heat belt and a couple of temperature triggered plugs (they’ve got a proper name, but dammed if I can remember it), and every brew is fermented to within a degree or so of perfect!
