Hello all,
I began homebrewing back in the early 80's.
I had lots of fun learning and growing from kits to extracts and finally to all grain.
I started entering homebrew competitions and, to my surprise, actually winning a few.
I became a professional pub brewer with the opening of the Hubcap Brewery in Vail, CO in 1990
I worked there through 1990 when Coors hired me to open The SandLot Brewery at Coors Field in 1995.
I was there for two seasons. I went on to work as director of Brewing Services at Five Star Chemicals.
I consulted on a brewery project in Lake Havasu City and finally ended up at The RockYard Brewery in Castle Rock, CO.
I left brewing all together in 2001.
I have had my own business ever since in the high end home audio field.
I have been feeling the itch to brew again for the past year and I think it is time to start putting a brewing system together.
Unfortunately I lent my double burner cajun cooker and brew kettle to someone who has since moved away
I picked up a converted keg at a local homebrew supply store, yesterday. I still have a keg for HLT and a 10 gallon Gott for a MLT. I am going to try to build a brew stand in the next few weeks.
I will probably have more than a few questions about the current homebrew scene. This looks like the place to ask them.
If there is anything I can do to help anyone here, please don't hesitate to ask.
Cheers,
Wayne
