Greetings, brewers from all over the world!
I'm Mike from White OWL Brewing (non-profit) and I'm brewing alcoholic beverages since 2013. I started out with mead and cider but got pretty bored by the lack of process-depth. So in 2021 I made the step and invested into swapping over to beer brewing. Everything brewing-related in my life is as homebrew as the beers I make. I designed an electric, recirculating BIAB brew kettle (15 liter batches) and built it on the cheap. Even my brew-controller is completely DIY and at this minute I'm designing an eHERMS system, as I was able to source three 40 liter pots pretty cheaply.
I've been lurking Homebrew Talk for some years now but never had the incentive to join the community, but I think the time is finally ripe to change that.
I already built a nice Keezer for which I can create a sort of "build log" (even though the thing is already built
) and for the eHERMS I'm even prepared to take suggestions from the community here and regularly follow up on the build-process.
As for my beers, I love brewing historical styles, as that not only consists of the brewing-process itself but also of a lot of research and deep-dives into history. My most favorite historical style is the 27A Kentucky Common. A friend of mine who is beer sommelier and craft-beer ambassador, who runs a craft-beer pub, reviews my beers regularly and thinks that my recipes and processes are now spot-on. He liked my last two beers (1C American Cream Ale and 19A American Amber Ale) so much, he said he'd love to swap two commercial beers on his taps with mine. Up until now I only participated in one brewing competition, start of 2024, for which I submitted a one-shot-attempt of my very first German style, without a test-batch or prototype and made the lower Top 10 of 93 participants.
I'm looking forward to sharing my knowledge and experiences and especially to learning from yours.
