- Home Brewing Biography
- I saw an article in Parade magazine in 1990 about a brew in a bag system, kinda like a pillow. I sent away, got it and brewed it. It was not good, but I was amazed, we got a buzz. About a year later, I saw a show by Charlie Papazian where he brewed in 5 gal water juds. I was hooked. Brewed a lot at the end of the last millennia and into this one, but kinda stopped a dozen years ago. kept all my equipment. Started brewing again this past year.
