Well I decided to post after lurking on and off for sometime. I am soon to be 28 married with a 3 y/o and a we just had our 2nd daughter on Feb 16th 2009. Some other hobbies of mine include woodworking, I have a full woodworking shop in my basement where I will soon be making bar supplies and offering them here. I also play Disc Golf and have played for about 4 years.
When I turned 21 I hated beer, drank mostly whiskey sours and the like. That got pricy so I started drinking more and more beer but it wasn't until my buddy turned me onto craft style beers that I got hooked. About 4 years ago I bought a Beer machine and tried to brew my own and it was bad, taste was bad, just turned me off from brewing. About a year ago i got the bug again to brew but couldn't find the time or want to pay the price for a starter kit. I have gotten the bug again and thing I want to give this a go. I have discovered that I don't need a kit as it seems like I won't use half the stuff that comes in a kit anyways. I will going out searching the flea markets and Craigslist the next few weeks to start getting my supplies. I already have a beer fridge so I am good there. I don't plan to bottle, going straight to kegs as it seems easier this way.
I have a ton of questions and plan on starting another post for those so bear with me while I learn
