Home Brewing Biography: One of my friends has been brewing for years. I've been collecting the brewing hardware for a while and my other friend and I went in on everything together. We have been itching for a hobby and this fits the bill pretty damn well. Every time I went to the store to get a 6er it always took me forever to pick one out. This was either because I had already tried everything or I'd have to settle for something I didn't really want. Homebrewing negates all this, and a little of the expense, of liking a good pint of brew. It's a hobby I can grow in and complete DIY's on the weekends. I truly love the hobby.

like a rock. Is the...

If I'm not eating I like to do a car bomb style chocolate oatmeal stout with a shot of
espresso.If I'm eating then a nice malty/hoppy IPA. Yum. Nothing like hops and eggs!
