http://www.the-home-brew-shop.co.uk/acatalog/Beer_Starter_Kit_With_Barrel_Equipment_Only.html#.VAhRg8lwbq

If anyone as used one of these and could tell me what theyre like it would be much appreciated.

If anyone could also give any advice on brewing for beginners it would be much appreciated. Just would like to know what to look out for and what the basic do's and dont's are.

Cheers Danny.

Have you seen this forum? We can answer questions on HBT, but I'll bet there are a lot of users on this forum that have the same brewing equipment.

Welcome to the obsess... (Uh, I mean hobby)!!

My advice is relax and enjoy the learning curve.

Start by browsing the Beginners forum and look at the stickies for some great advice.

Cheers!

Almost everything! Anything that touches your wort after it boils should be sanitized - fermenter, funnel, spoons, etc. A no rinse sanitizer like Star San is highly recommended. Don't fear the foam!

Keep good notes. It would be a real shame if you couldn't recreate your award winning brew because you for got how you did it.

Create a brew day checklist. If you forget to do something, put it on the list for next time, until the list becomes second nature.

Oh heah, Have fun. Some of the best days of my life have been out in the back yard brewing with a bunch of friends.

I like this British brew forum:

You can also read the free online book How To Brew

Definitely keep good notes!
