I've been home brewing for some years now, not the full grain process, but using the kits. I did a day's course at a micro - brewery recently and got two handy tips that has really taken the hassle out the process.
Thought I'd share it for those who are interested in case you were unaware.
Although I shouldn't be promoting alcohol consumption but if you like your ales (haven't tried brewing anything else tbh) I really recommend giving it a go. Once you've done a decent brew you'll realise that most you get in the shops are a bit lifeless and similar in nature.

I used to brew my own wine back in the 80's Made from rhubarb or elderberries or elderflowers, all manner of ingredients. That was then, fast forward to now & I'm a lazy git these days, too much fannying about, everything has be very clean, I don't have the space, ach the list goes on.....
All good fun though G_man. I "just" might give the old beer a go sometime..
I'm an old git & happy with it,most of the time

Yep I bew some beers but not for a while - planning a few soon.
Another tip is to have a plastic clip lid spaghetti storage tub with starsan or similar in. Just pop your spoons etc in when not using them and you know they are clean. A spray bottle with starsan in is also useful.
A bottling wand fitted to a bucket with a tap also makes priming and bottling easier.
