Frustrated Home Brewer

[Bobby_M]

The OP misses the point. Homebrewing is whatever the individual homebrewer wants it to be. It's sad that there is so much dissension in the ranks in the same way that "true" music fans get snobby about other fans that like bands that have "sold out" to the man. I won't tell you that your methods are archaic if you don't tell me that mine are jerked off.

Amen. You make it want you it to be. If you want perfection and seek it, that's fine. If you're content with less, that's fine too.

Brew on!

Cool thread for sure, hit a chord with me also. I love the tinkering with equipment and building my own stuff from scrap and free items. Then to have it produce a better quality beer makes me even happier. I too started with 1 carboy and 3 gal stock pot with a few misc hoses. At the time I thought my beer was great. Cheers to all.

Pouring a pint of beer I've brewed, that I can honestly say I could imagine being served at a bar (and enjoying it), is where it really gets fun!

Even better when your family agrees.
