I do like this hobby !
The process of beer making is as old as the hills and hasn't changed. The mechanics of how we brew have certainly changed though.
But what I do like is that as long as you get the basics right and pay attention to cleaning and sterilising you can brew however you want and get good results.
Kits, extract, All Grain its your choice depending on your available time and money.
As you wander around the forum you can see however, how many folks decide to tinker and delve deeper into the brewing process. I've got to admit sometimes they baffle me.... but its all interesting to read about and I'm sometimes left in wonder at the skills shown by members, not only in brewing but in other associated skills, electronics,mechanics and so forth. There's some clever folks out there, and I take my hat off to them.
That's one of the reasons I like brewing, you can be as involved as you want to be or knock out some beer now and again with the minimum of fuss.
I'd love to be as exact as some of the brewers are on here, but I'm afraid that that is beyond me.
I'll refrain from mentioning any member by name, but some of the skills and expertise shown by certain members is mind blowing, and from people like myself I'd like to say a big thank you to them for parting with their expertise and knowledge.Its a pleasure to read the posts.
Anyway's as we enter the time of year of shorter days and longer nights I can look forward to reading many more interesting threads and posts and I know I'll be kept entertained,amused and probably perplexed.
Now whats next to brew......
