Hey guys, I've got a giant obsession with beer and the homebrew fever for almost a year. Just made my second all grain batch last weekend, the tasty Octoberfast Ale that's chugging along nicely in secondary. I absorb any knowledge and tips I can find, especially from Zymurgy, BYO, my local brew club that I joined in April, and of course this great forum.
So though this question may have a relative answer, when does someone in my shoes start mastering the science of brewing? When have you all decided when you've graduated from brew student, to brewmaster? At the tender age of 23 and still trotting on the last year of college, I'm not sure if I'm moving too fast or slow compared to some of the bigwigs I see around me and at HBT. Perhaps it's even more ambitious (ludicrous) to imagine starting my own microbrewery someday and make beer my primary way of life; a young punk can dream, can't he? :cross:
Much thanks everyone,
Ben
