Hi everyone! It may come to a shock to everyone that I am not a beer drinker. ooOOOooo.....THAT IS UNTIL I MADE MY FIRST BEER!
My friend got me into it awhile back and I have made 4 batches so far! I have made all ales using a bucket to ferment. I do not know the science behind making beers taste the way they do and I hope from joining this site that I will learn that! I am against using kits. I believe hard work pays off! I like to do half malt extract and half grain! My last beer was a wheat and it turned out pretty good! I usually use cascade and goldeen hops. I would like to make a lager and I hope to modify a minifridge for that purpose. Another project I would like to do is construct a force carbonation mechanism so I do not have to wait an additional two weeks! In the future I would like to cultivate my own grain and yeast and really make it from scratch! When I finish school I am going on a europe trip and hope to visit belgium and get some wild yeast there to make a lambic. Does any of this seem plausible? Where is a good place here to start learning the "science" of beer making>
