Greetings all! I didn’t see an introductions folder, so if I missed it, I apologize.
I’m a fairly new home brewer, started about 2 years ago with a horrid nut brown ale. Not sure what I did wrong, but it was really bad tasting I hung up my brew kettle until early this year. The bug has re-bitten and I’ve jumped into the wort with 2 feet! I have several beers under my belt now and realize that sanitation can’t be understated! I currently have a stout I call Slop Bucket, a strawberry kiwi ale called Summer’s Breeze, (almost called Summers Eve, but came to my senses) and a Belgian ale called Illuminati Socks. I’ve also made approximately 15 gallons of mead in a variety of flavors.
Brewing is fun… But can get expensive! Even though a glass of beer only ends up costing about .50 cents, the incidentals can get pricey! I am considering all grain brewing, having only done extract and partial mash stuff up until this point. Mash tun, Lauder tun, immersion chillers… Little parts at a time. I’ll get there!
Looking forward to learning more and more.
