Since I am restarting and revamping this 10 year old blog, I thought maybe a  re-introduction would be a good idea.

I am a homebrewer. Been at it for nearly 30 years. I’ve learned a lot in that time.

My actual brewing process has changed very little since I first started. In fact I still have and use some of my original equipment.

Basic techniques and principles don’t really change, but the means to get there sometimes do.

Now days there seems to be a bigger push for complete automation, but I still love the process. I want to control the beers creation, so I am a bit more hands on than most because I think that is the best way to understand what is going on and why. That is how you become a better brewer.

I will admit that I am slowing down in production now days. Twice a week brewing has turned in to twice a month brewing. And 5 gallon batches have mostly turned into 3 gallon batches.

This also means I have more time for editorials, education pieces, and maybe some outside the brewery interviews of other homebrewers and their specialties.

Plus just in the 10 years this blog has been around quite a few things have changed in media and social tech. So I should probably go back into the vault of posts and re-examine them for updates, corrections or just filling in of the blanks.

In other words.. there will be a lot more content in various forms showing up in the near future.

As always.. stay tuned.
