My new hobby..... Homebrewing!

<< < (2/10) > >>

I'm in Tucson, AZ. Definitely warm in these parts about now. While we were brewing I was 'relaxing and having a homebrew' for these gents I work with. They made a Dark Wheat, Apple Cider, and Coffee and Cream stout that were just incredible, better than almost anything I've tasted bottled and I've been through much of the Old Chicago world beer tour. Can't wait to up the skill enough to go all-grain with them and make some magic happen.

Mmmmm, I'm getting thirsty reading these posts.  Must be the weather.   ;)

Definitely do the all grain when you get the chance, released truth.  It tastes better and cuts the cost by about a third, since malted grain is so much cheaper than malt extract.

I did this for a while.  It got tired of the bottling process.  When we moved into our new house, I didn't feel like packing up 200 empty bottles.  I gave them to a home brewing friend.  I planned on getting a keg and doing it that way but eventually lost interest.

I used to make a really good honey wheat.

I have always wanted to get into this but it's one of those "eh, you already have 25 space consuming hobbies" issues.

Kegging really changes the hobby.  It's faster than bottling and really nice to put a keg on ice on the back patio for a party.
