  • This reminds me, I have a fridge like the above, going largely unused, mostly for occasional bread making but largely redundant in the winter. Brewed wine before, but not beer. Have airlocks, 25l tub, demijons. Is there anything else I should be looking out for on marketplace if I want to have a crack at bewing some kind of IPA/Saison things?

    Do I need a pressure keg or is that only for lager?

  • You can do a kit beer without any more equipment than that (assuming you've still got the stuff you made the wine with), but if you want to make better beer, you'd need some additional stuff.

    You can do extract or brew in a bag, which means you only need to get a kettle (a 30 litre stainless pot with a tap on it will do the trick), or you can go all grain, which means you need more stuff like a mash tun (converted coolbox is a good way to go if you're just starting out).

  • Cheers, yes was just reading about extract Vs all grain, think I'll want to do it the 'proper' way soon enough. Just watched some videos on cool box mash tuns and still a bit confused, don't you boil stuff in a mash tun?
