Hello All!
I stumbled onto this lovely place reading a list of links from Wine Maker Magazine. One or two clicks and here I am. Glad I found it too.
I've been a home wine maker for years, and even tried to brew some beer from extract a few years back, with poor success. But like any good (brewer, vintner, distiller, etc..) I drank it anyway
I live in the bible belt and its kinda difficult to find a good beer, especially on tap. So I've decided I've just got to do it myself.
I'll probably begin with another extract kit, just to get things going, but I'm already lusting for one of those beautiful sculptures and trying some all grain brewing. I'm a gear and equipment junkie too.
I'm a young retiree, and I am actually starting a vineyard this year. I'll be putting in my infrastructure of trellises and doing my research on varietals to plant, with the goal of making my first vintage in about 6 years. So the way I see it, I've got six years to learn how to make good brew, in order to keep up with my wine making.
Oh, and I'm pretty good at BBQ, just in case it matters to anyone. (Swap some ribs for some AG brewing experience perhaps?)
Looking forward to getting to know all of you!
John
P.S. Is there a place to look up local members? Anybody in middle TN?
