New from WV

[ProfLight]

I've long been a fan of micro-brewed beers and the intricacies of flavoring, body and taste of good beer. Over the holidays, my brother-in-law gave me a Mr. Beer kit, and I brewed my first batch for fermentation just before New Years.

About two weeks ago I bottled the batch and all has gone well. It is a Pale Ale and quite good. I've ordered a couple of refills and plan to "get the hang" of using ME before delving into any other avenues of grains, yeast, and specific methods.

Yes, it's a hobby. But it has tremendous benefits to my creative side. I love to cook, am a professional photographer full-time, and enjoy making things that make other people happy.

One startup question, though. What do you do with all the beer you brew? Do you drink it, share it, what?

Best,

Tony

Hello and welcome to hbt, Tony

I drink mine. I'd share some of it if I had any friends in my area though.:rockin:

Where in WV you at? I'm near Fairmont, btw.

Hi drinker,

I'm in Shepherdstown, the eastern panhandle. Not too far from you, actually.

Thus far, I've drank what I've brewed. I'm brewing another batch tonight of stout, a favorite of my wife's.

Got to love a stout drinking woman. Good to have you aboard. Have fun with this hobby because it can get addicting.
