It's something I can be pretty good at. My other "hobby" for years has been photography. The problem with it to me is that, no matter how interested in it I am, no matter how much I learn about photography, no matter how much I practice, and regardless of how much money I spend on equipment, I am never going to be Ansel Adams. Or anything close to even good, for that matter. My wife, who has no interest in it, other than to take an occasional snapshot, picks up my camera as though it is something that fell to earth from outer space and takes pictures that are as good as or better than mine.
Now homebrewing is different. To my immense surprise and pleasure, my very first batch tasted good. After reading this forum for awhile, it appears that is an experience which is not at all uncommon.
The people here and at my homebrewing supply stores are all very nice, and, best of all, I get to drink the results!
It's not about who has the most or fanciest equipment or who won the most prizes at contests, but it is about brewing and enjoying good beer and good company.
I think I've found something I will really enjoy for years to come.
And now I am going home to pop open a cold one... (or two even )
