When I first started brewing, I told myself: "I'm just going to be an ale brewer. Lagers are too difficult."
Then, I got a fermentation mini-fridge, and I told myself: "Maybe I'll try a lager someday, but I'll need to get a second mini-fridge just for lagering."
Then, I read some more on lager brewing and decided I'd give it a try. I brewed a Munich Dunkel, let it ferment out in my fridge for two weeks, kegged it, and it's currently sitting on CO2 in my keezer.
Now, I'm asking myself: "What was it that you thought was going to be so hard about that?" There was really nothing more difficult than ale brewing, and it's opened up a whole new realm of possibilities in my brewing world!
