Welcome aptly named person who makes beer at home...

For a basic start with a kit (the muntons or woodefords kits are good) you'll need:-

1. A Fermenting Bucket (5-6 imp gallon)
2. A long handled plastic spoon to stir
3. A hydrometer
4. A thermometer (food type)
5. Plastic tubing (1-2m)
6. A plastic racking cane

and to enjoy your beer...

7. 550ml Bottles (approx 48 - save them from store bought ale) and caps + capper OR
8. A plastic 5 gallon keg - much easier!

Enjoy!
