Introduction

First of all I would like to thank anyone who decided to follow me in my first blog. As the title suggests, I took up a hobby of home brewing. I will be posting everything in detail from day one because the number one best thing about homebrew, is sharing and enjoying that homebrew and the experience of making it.


For Christmas I was given a Mr. Beer home brew kit. A little 2 gallon at a time, store bought kit. While it was a cool idea, that was very small scale and I wasn't able to deliver what I truly want in this new found hobby. For a long time I have been looking for a new activity. I thought about model car building, one of my childhood activities. I also considered woodworking which isn't completely out of the picture. But then I got my first homebrew kit. I tried it the night I got home, and loved it.

First I made a pale ale from extract. It was OK, but it had a little off taste to it. My second batch was a Vienna lager which was better, but still had that darn off taste. After reading a few articles and ebooks I found that the Mr. Beer kit takes shortcuts and I wasn't satisfied with the results. I found a great site called Midwest Supplies which has every possible product you can think of when it comes to homebrew. I finally ordered more proficient equipment and here we are now, waiting for the tools to start my first REAL brew.

Again this blog will be updated multiple times a week, I appreciate all my followers and encourage you to continue following, you never know, maybe you'll decide to try home brewing for yourself.

Thanks, see you next time!
