Getting back into brewing

[G-Hog]

So after 3 years off from brewing (I do BIAB), I’m getting back into it. I picked up a burner last night night and I’m already planning my first brew. It’s going to be a wheat beer. Can’t wait to get started.

Welcome back! I haven't brewed in 11 months so I feel ya but hope to brew again soon!

 

[G-Hog]

Thanks. I can't believe it's been 3 years for me.

 

[pshankstar]

I forgot to ask. What do you plan to brew?

 

[G-Hog]

Just a wheat beer to begin with. I haven't figured out the recipe yet, but I'll have something before I brew.

Welcome back. Just recently I was able to get back into all grain brewing which I was unable to do living in an apartment the past 2+ years.. Man, its so easy to get addicted again.. haha


In fact- check out my signature Ive done 5 batches within about a month

Must be in the weather, I too am getting back in the saddle after ~18months off. Doing a few system upgrades and enjoying it. I like the tinkering almost as much as the beer!

 

[G-Hog]

Nice. I'm gonna get back into it slowly.

I was going crazy doing small extract batches (and even no boil brews) for 2 years with all of my all grain equipment just collecting dust. Now in a new home I have all my equipment back and got some new equipment like grain mill and doing some upgrades as well

Good luck....

I was out of brewing for several years, too. Felt great getting back into it. I'm happy for you.

Great to hear! I have only done 2 extract batches about 5 years ago. My brother and I are getting ready to start 10 gallon batches of biab soon. Excited to do my first all grain beer!

Welcome back!

Welcome back! Was 20 years off for me and got back into about 9 months and 15 batches ago. Had a very primitive/cheap/mostly DIY "3 tier system" back then. Then did BIAB when I started all over. Cool thing is - I used some of my old recipes and worked great.
Here's me 25 years younger with my "3 tier system."

Here's the new system and old guy. Just need that wooden spoon

Is that.... a Gym Brewery!?

You might as well just lift that BIAB for your workout

Is this getting back to the Gym Brewery thing? You know, I have to lift all that water up to the BK/HLT/Mash Tun - whatever we call it in BIAB. Then hoist all that spent grain and water, then carry the wort inside to the fermenter. Then carry the kegged beer back out to the garage/gym/place where refrigerator lives. And THEN, I have to lift the beer to my mouth - approximately 1 pound at a time!

Really.. You had to post a picture of yourself on here to make us all feel bad?
C`mon man this is a homebrew forum!

LOL, definitely not photoshopped either!
