So my first beer is looking successful! It looks and tastes good so now to bottle at the end of the week and let it do it's thing! I am looking into this Southern Cross Maris Otter SMaSH, Do i need to get any specialised equipment? It it hard to adjust the recipe in order to make a 6 gallon batch?

A lot of the recipes look confusing to a novice eye and they also look like they need a lot of specialised equipment. No doubt i will get into the swing of things eventually

Thanks, i'm not sure i want to invest in anything other than this starter kit setup just yet, I'll have to see what's available in the kits though i'd like to try wine and cider's at some point.

Thanks for the advice, it's been fermenting for a week now so i'll leave it for another and then bottle it. It's a bit nerve wracking when you don't know what should be happening and when.

Not gonna lie, that sounds like a good idea, maybe when i'm more confident haha. Currently i am trying not to **** up one that came in a tin

I remember brewing non-alcoholic ginger beer when i was a kid and was looking for a recipe to get all nostalgic on, found a homebrew starter kit and decided to try making my own alcohol. I've learnt i'm quite impatient and that leads to complications....

**** went wrong and google lead me here

I'm having the same issues with my kit, same larger and yeast and basically the same readings. How did your beer turn out? I'm thinking of throwing this lot out and starting again, but that may just be me over reacting
