New member and new brewer

[Jox]

Hey everyone,

New member on the forum; and new brewer. My dad outlined extract brewing to me back in December; and I have since made quite a few extract batches and moved over to BIAB. Got 3 batches in different stages of fermentation/conditioning right now - excited learn and try new things. I'm in love with Belgian beers; so that's what I see myself primarily making. Eventually I'll get around to trying spontaneous fermentation since that style of brew has always facinated me!

On a personal note I'm a 30 something married Swedish guy; with a freshly minted kid, working with Computers and dreaming about quitting my dayjob and sinking all savings into brewing, or really just make great beer!

This forum has been invaluable in getting more familiar with brewing as a whole so excited to finally stop lurking!

Welcome, Jox. Probably better focus on learning how to make great beer before moving to pro. I'd love to be a pro drinker, but unfortunately I have to do this thing called work.

Glad to have you here, Welcome!

You have a full plate starting a family and brewing. Try to focus on one and the other will happen in time. ( Family First, in case anyone is wondering )

Haha absolutely right; I think this idea to quit my work and start a brewery is some sort of mind escapism due to stress or some such. Maybe I should just sit down and have a beer

Welcome to HBT.

Thanks!

Thank you!

Family first 100%. Got a Velcro baby, so I got a lot of downtime while sleep is happening. Good for reading, thinking, planning and dreaming!
