I started brewing in 93 and only did so for 5 years I was kegging and doing malt and partial mash at the time and the went dormant in the brew side but never the love of great beer. I recently (6months ago) was injured due to a tangle with a pit bull some upstanding citizen had it tied to the front door (i was or am a mailman) and have been off work recovering from the first spine surgurey and have alot of reading time on my hands. A neighbor recently got a kit and it sparked that flame again.
I can't believe how much has changed and all the super great things that you have at your fingers now from beer guns to 5.2 to full on rims units to renew simplicity like Biab although the process still remains the same for the most part the amount or resources at your finger tips is amazing. You\We brewers need to be thankful for great things like this board amung the others. I wished we had anything remotely close to this when I started doing it in a small town in upstate ny. I remember having to drive over an hour and half just to get to a home brew store and only had Charlies book and a few trade rags essentially to go by.
Anyhow I would like to get back in in a small gallon or 2 batch all grain format due to my limitations with weight and movement and would welcome and appreciate any links and thoughts to resources for small batch all grain.
I've spent the few months day dreaming as I'm becoming semi mobile and watching you tube videos and surfing and trying to read read read as I heal. Although I may never be able to do what I used to or pick up weight wise maybe I can on a small scale get back into doing something that I enjoyed.
Thanks again happy holidays. And again support and appreciate your resources. Matt
