Five tips for a hoppy return

1) Practise good sanitation. Clean. Clean. Clean.

2) Start with a simple recipe to help learn the process.

3) Brew with a friend – an extra pair of hands always helps and you can enjoy a few beers afterwards.

4) Keep ingredients cool and in air tight containers – fresh is best.

5) Share your brews with a local brewery for feedback and to learn how to improve – plus brewers are good people to know.
