Hi Jules,
Dave Line's two books are very good:
The Big Book of Brewing is a terrific all round guide for a beginner.
Brewing Beers Like Those You Buy has the basic methods outlined, but is more of a recipe book, once you know what you're doing. Great for replicating particular styles that you know you like.
The first one would be ideal if you've never brewed before. -
i have a 'brewzer' home brew kit, which is excellent for first time brewers, there's a choice of kits to use in it - the bitter and IPA are quite good.
A friend of mine brews our homebrew beers for a beer festival we hold - he bought the basic kit (buckets and other paraphanalia) and then just buys various packs to make the beers (widely available from homebrew shop websites). There's a huge variety and apparently they're dead easy to make - i think most come with instructions.There's vegetable growing in the family, but I must be adopted
Happy Gardening!Comment

brewing??
Hi Jules07
It kinds of depends whether you want to brew from barley, malted concentrates or kits ?
I have brewed with all and still do, but the best was from malted barley which had to be boiled. The liquour was then used to make the beer.

Trial by fire is the best way to start I got a brewer's best kit from the internet and the equipment. From there i tried other kits and learned how to do everything step by step. Real hard to screw-up the kits. Now i am making beer, wine and brandy at the same time. SoldierfireComment
