Hello!
I'm a new member on the forum, but you know how it is: Longtime listener, first time caller.
I've been brewing since I was 12 or so, but had a pause for a few years once I turned 21.

The past few years my wife and I wanted to dive a little deeper into the art and quickly graduated from carboys to brew buckets, then conicals to unitanks. We're currently brewing on a Brewzilla 65L and recently started kegging after bottling 250 or so in a single day.

That's pretty much it in a nutshell. As a side note; our dog Bandit also loves our family brew days!

Wow. 12? Were you exposed to it by another brewer in the family or do they have like a kids brew camp or something? What did you do with the product?

I lived with my aunt who picked up brewing from my grandfather. It was always a great family project. We all enjoyed the beer, but I only got one every couple days or so under supervision. I always loved the reaction I got from the guys at the homebrew shop! I usually got a, "right on little dude!".

Oh yes. He also loves getting a little taste of the wort after I take the hydrometer reading. As a puppy he would knock over our beers from time to time. We thought at first he was just being a puppy. We later realized he was knocking them over so he could drink our beer from the floor! Naturally we were a bit more selective about where we set our beer down from then on.
