We went to the aptly named shop...Dave's Home Brew ....and bought our supplies.
Today we got home and started a brew-ing....
1. First you need a large tub, into which you pour a brown gloopy mixture of malt and hops. Then you pour in loads of boiling water to thoroughly dissolve it and mix well.
2. pour a large 1kg bag of malt (yes more malt!) into this watery brown sludge mixture, continue pouring in boiling water and of course, continue mixing well.
3. Fill the rest of the tub with cold (preferably filtered) water
4. Add a small sachet of yeast (only once the temperature of the brown watery stuff is below 20 degrees, or your yeast will die) and mix again.
5. Firmly fix the one way airlock to the lid of the tub and put a bit of water in it so only CO2 can escape, but no air or bacteria can enter. Next push the lid on firmly so you create a tight seal.
6. Now place your full tub in a comfortable corner where it can fizz and bubble away till it's ready, then invite everyone around for a winter ale at the House of Fillet! 
Stay tuned for the unveiling (we're gonna need a good name for our brew...I don't think "Fillet beer" will do)
