How I got started...
Welcome to my website,
dedicated to my 'addiction' of brewing. I've been brewing for several
years now and as is the case with most craft brewers, I started the
hobby using a small store bought kit that produced something that was
drinkable but not great by any
means. Over the next year, I graduated from the store bought kit to a
larger stove top version and started doing extract brewing.
The beer gradually got better and I began to enjoy it more, but I still
wasn't completely impressed with the end result. Soon there after, I
moved up to all grain brewing and the addiction ensued...
Why do you make your own beer?
This question always seems
to come up when I tell someone that I'm a brewer and no matter how I
answer, the question always seems to linger when discussing aspects of
brewing. The simple answer is 'because I like good beer and like trying
new things'. When I started this hobby I thought that making beer
comparable to what was sold in stores was probably a long shot. And in
the beginning I thought that this was probably the case because the
first few beers that I made were sub-par (if that). However, over time
and after some research, I found out that I could actually make good
(scratch that, great) beer on my own and decided that nothing was
stopping me.
