Been brewing for a longtime. IPA is my favorite. Quality is hard to match by commercial suds with a few exceptions.

I used to all the time but I've gotten away from it lately. My wife has been making wine so we've been drinking a lot of that lately. I still love a good IPA...nothing better on a hot summer day....I'm a huge Hop Head.

Then again I love Lagers, Ales, Pale Ales, Red Ales, Brown Ales, Stout, ESB, Porter, Pilsners, Fruit Beers, Bitters, Heffeweizen, Trappists, and Barley Wine.....hmm, that Could be why I needed to cut back on it...

Did I mention I'm a big fan of Mead too....

I have been brewing for 23 years. Won many contests. At one point I was having genuine East Kent Goldings and Hallertau mttlefrueh hops fedexed to me from England and Germany .Nothing like fresh hops! I do syrups and all grains. all grains taste best but involve much more time. Smokey and I and another guys made 20 gallons the Friday after Thanksgiving. 10 gallons partial mash , 10 gallons all grain. All excellent.

Keep everything well sanitized and you have half the battle licked. Beyond that , try different things and keep good records. You will eventually develop some great recipes.

well i started with rootbeer.
beer illegal to buy under the age of 21
but its legal to brew!

guy at a brewer store, "so what kinda of beer do you like?"
me, "well im 19 so ive never actually tasted beer before sooo..."
haha, im not brewing to make beer to get drunk, i could easily aquire the alchohol to do so if i wanted, but i do not. its just another hobby.

so far me and my brother have made a porter, pale ale, oktober fest, and a stout. right now im fermenting a blue berry porter. we've been using the kits, but are about to move to doing some from "scratch."

im getting the plug shop back in order right now. ive got a tun of stuff 3/4 of the way done, ive just been schooling/working/fishing too much lately. youll see some stuff soon though, big needles.

You're a good kid Christian. You are going places I can tell.

I love big needles!

trout will be stocked soon so hurry up before you get distracted again

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.
