Howdy all,
I wanted to invite everyone to share a little of their background on why they started home brewing and what got you interested.
To start us off, I think we can all agree that a deep founded love of beer is the catalyst for taking on this endeavor.
I used to work for a major American brewer. Since leaving I've missed the brewery atmosphere, people, smells, and fresh beer... I met my wife while working there so she always knew me as the "beer guy". I studied chemical engineering in college, so any time industrial equipment or process control is involved I get excited...
Fast forward six years, she recently told me that I should get back to doing what I loved (just on a smaller scale). For father's day this year, she bought me a kit of homebrew equipment to start making 5 gallon batches in an "ale pail".
Couldn't be happier to get started and to join the homebrew community.
So, what's your story? How did you get started? What keeps you going?
