Home Brewing Biography: I was hanging out with my friend and helping him make a batch, I thought it was fun so I invested in my own starter kit. I have since expanded my equipment slowly but surely. I have a 5 gal corney keg and a Co2 tank and reg, its the only way to do it!
Future Brews: I have enjoyed brewing so much that I have been making plans to add a brewing room to my basement. It will contain a couple fridges and a freezer or 2 all bought from the DI of corse or the cheapest place avaliable. I will also include some counter top work space. As a plumber I have big plans for my brew space. I will be setting up a 3 compartment sink that I wont have to share with the family. A pot filler over the stove which will T off my house cold water line and run through a triple filter element system then a reverse osmosis so I can fill my brew pots with the best water I can make. Ill have several other Ideas for the brew room when it comes time to construct.
