Hello!
I live in Bristol with my wife and children and have LONG been a big fan of real ales, bitters, and Belgian beers.
Yesterday, I lost my brewing virginity and I have 5 gallons of Woodforde's Wherry brewing away in my dining room until it is ready to put in the barrel. Hooray!
Now we have 2 kids and the recession is biting a bit, we no longer want to pay lots of money for shop-bought beer and can't go to the pub much anyway.
My aspiration is to be able to get good enough to mash my own wort and make beer from scratch - who knows, maybe one day. I need to find space in the garage first!
Anyhow - that's me - the forums have already been useful in getting me started and I look forward to letting you know how I get on!
Ta for now.
