- Home Brewing Biography
- Back in the '80s I worked with a guy who was a home brewer, and that intrigued me. But I probably didn't have the patience to brew back then. Quality ingredients were difficult to obtain then, and suppliers were few. Fast forward to 2012. I read an article in our local paper about homebrewing, and it even mentioned Seven Bridges, the only homebrew supply in our town. Christmas came and I received a gift certificate to Seven Bridges. After much study, and saving money for a good starter kit, I made my first brew. It was a Mash/Extract Pre-Prohibition Lager, which I brewed January 12, 2013. It turned out great, was wildly popular with friends and family. I was hooked! Now I brew All Grain, many different styles.
