I have been interested in starting home brewing and stumbled by this forum a little while ago and started lurking around. I will be getting a 1gallon home brew kit to start out since I don't drink very often and have limited space.
I have never been too obsessed with drinking alcohol, after I turned 21 earlier this year I didn't even consume alcohol until a month later. So when I started to try out brews I was more on a search for something that I really enjoyed rather than just drinking because I can. After delving into more craft style beers I began to really appreciate what good beer was, and the scientist in me began to question the process of making it.
I am in my forth year of college, cell/molecular biology, and have worked in a microbio lab on campus so I have a fair understanding about the biological and chemical aspects that go into making beer. Also how to prevent contamination. After I started looking at the process of making it seemed relatively easy to some of the labs I have done for various classes.
Home brewing just seems like a lot of fun and I can't wait to taste my first brew.
