So I'm pretty green as far as brewing goes, though I've been having a blast so far. My first 2 batches were strictly kit brews. Brewer's Best RIS and Holiday Ale - both turned out really well and are currently conditioning. The RIS is drinkable now (left primary about 6 weeks ago) but the holiday ale has a while left.
I stepped up my game for my third batch by coming up with my own recipe (very simple Bavarian weissbier recipe - 66% Bavarian wheat, 33% Munich malt, 1% love and 1oz Hersbrucker hops - very simple but something I can call my own).
I'm stepping up again for my 4 batch - a Belgian tripel - my own recipe plus pitching it with a liquid yeast starter (WLP500).
Now this all seems like an innocent kaizen approach to homebrewing but I can't help but to wonder if I'm wandering blindly down a road towards damnation. I can already kind of feel it. It's just a matter of time before I shell out the money for an AG setup. Then kegs. Then a kegerator. Where will it end? Oh, the humanity! Is there any hope for me?
