The problem that there are many homeless outweighs the problem that somebody wants to have a holiday home. Soliving the homeless problem by not solving the holiday home problem is valid.

I've drafted multiple responses to this but I find this comment so nonsensical that I get lost in my own anger trying to formulate a coherent sentence.

Sir/madam, you have broken me.

For he insulation layer, I've seen people use sponges. Do you recommend anything else?

Beer brewing is kinda of doing this for me right now.

I'm getting excited each time I see the colour when I bottle it and then after a couple of weeks when it's drinking time I'm like a kid of Christmas day to see how it tastes.

From a grown up perspective there's legs to this as well. I can start off cheap, see how to improve, and slowly gather more equipment to do it better and better.

Haha thanks for the congratulations! Now time to sit and wait. Anticipating the first sip :D

It's on the list, but not something I've researched much yet. Do you recommend?

Did you add them raw or boiled them down or something? And what was your best flavour?

Great tips thank you!

Thanks for the tip. Our ideas of cheap are different though haha

P.s. just attached the sediment pic in a comment. Image upload is acting flakey today.

Thanks.

I have glass bottles but was sick when it was bottling time and it was just easier to use the plastic ones. They're basically my emergency bottles.

As for the temp, it seems that with this kit it needs to be on the cooler side (18-21c). The room I was doing it in is fairly cool but not that cool and it creeped up to 23c for probably about 10 of the initial 24 hours unfortunately. When I noticed I got the wet towels out which helped a lot.

After that it says to keep is between 15-21 on the online instructions, and 14-18 on the physical ones. I avged about 16c throughout the brew phase so got that okay.

With the warmer weather coming, I'm concerned I won't be able to keep this cool enough without some extra stuff (was thinking an old freezer unit for insulation, and some kind of wet blanket or ice pack rotation).
