Hello from AIRD MHIGE

Hi Everyone,

I'm new to this community and in home brewing. My interest in home brewing was spurred when I bought a device called brewbarrel. It let's me brew my own beer. Now, I would like to venture to the real home brewing. I think this place is a good place for me to learn from the expects. Because I'm just a newbie, please be gentle with me.

Welcome to the forum. I googled your location. Man, you are really isolated! Is that an island? Where will you get brewing supplies?

Isle of Harris off the west coast of Scotland, it's where Harris tweed originated from.

That's out of the way

Maybe ask at Hebridean Brew co if you can buy some ingredients off them so you don't get stiffed on the highlands+islands shipping

Thank you for the warm welcome. Actually, I'm quite overwhelmed with the complexity of the process of homebrewing. I'm figuring out now what tools and equipment to get me started. If you can give some suggestions, I would really appreciate that.

Just so you know, we don't want you to post links to seller in your signature line. That's spamming.
