Hi guys
Iv recently decided to persue a long dream of mine to brew my own beer and iv started looking into everthing in more depth over the last few days and find it totaly overwhelming, from what i can work out i have put together a list of what im going to need for my first brew and was wondering if someone could check it over:
1 fermentation bin (will i need an airlock? if so do you just drill out a hole and put it in?)
1 thermometer
stereliser
stiring tool
1 beer kit (i was looking at a nice ale)
Pressure barrel (bottling seems like an expencive option)
Is this all i realy need to get the first lot on the go?
I read something about CO2 also, what exactly is this for?
I have a kettle to boil water and suger if needed e.t.c
Thanks for any help and sorry for bieng so thick!
