Hi guys, I am really starting to get a bit confused and hope you can help me out a little.
First off I am based in Scotland (from Ireland) and have recently started brewing(4 kits so far.) However what kit means to me does not seem to apply to Americans. The kits I have been using are a single tin of gloop, you add 6 pints boiling water and 1kg of brewing sugar then top up to 23 litres and sprinkle on yeast. An example of these kits is www.coopers.com.au/homebrew/hbrew.php?pid=1&id=116 so far these have turned out pretty well but I really want to try making my own receipes.
I have heard of partial mashing all grain etc but am a little confused as to what to do next. I have read palmers guide and the extract kit he does in the getting started section seems like where I should be heading, however no where over here seems to sell ingrediant kits the way most American homebrew shops do (I looked at a few American shops)
Anyone know why I cant find ingrediant kits already packaged in the UK? I would like to try a few like that to get used to boiling ingrediants before I start trying to buy bulk packs and making my own receipes.
Thanks for any help, TREMBLE.
