Hi folks
I've just started my first ever Homebrew.
I bought this kit
Home Brew Online Standard Beer Starter Equipment Pack With Bottles
https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00ELHENN8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_SWsDDbCJGWMJM
And I used the St Peters IPA two can kit. Love the St Peters IPA but I can't get it in Scotland so I decided to give it a go brewing my own.
I mixed the ingredients up yesterday and it's currently foaming away nicely in the FV.
I plan on giving it a little longer in the FV than the packet suggests per some things I've read online.
I'm a little unsure of the best course of action after that though. The kit came with carbonation drops, and numerous bottles. I've ordered a 25L pressure barrel. Can I carbonate the brew in this? Do I need to siphon it, or can I simply pour it into the pressure barrel? Or am I better bottling it and carbonating in the bottle? If I do carbonate in the pressure barrel, can I then bottle it from the barrel when carbonated and ready to drink?
Apologies for the silly questions, but I'm pretty clueless!
Thanks
