I'm happy to celebrate my third anniversary of brewing!
I started out as a DME brewer 15 years ago, and don't remember using hops with the canned kits I was using. I quit that after a few batches of skunk.
Then in 2011, I decided to fire up the kettle again, brewing LME with speciality grains and hops additions, as I'm sure many of you are or did.
Now I'm brewing what I consider quite awesome beer! I'm proud to own a stainless steel mash paddle. I have a real hard time buying craft beer, and never commercial beer (from the big 3).
My first beer was a Strathcona Pale Ale. Here's a photo of #1:
My current batch is an Albino Kangaroo! White IPA with Topaz and Ella hops, Belgian Wit yeast, coriander and orange peel. A substantial step up from #1 - it even looks better.
This is my 56th batch, of a total of 59 since November, 2011. That's 295 gallons, 1116 litres of goodness!
How many have you made? What anniversary are you celebrating?
