Our First Batch!















This was our first attempt at brewing beer. Hopefully we can turn this in to something bigger and better in the future. We had been talking about starting to brew beer together for probably close to two years before making the plunge. We purchased all the equipment from someone off of craigslist.com that had been brewing for 20 years. Let's just say that we got quite a good deal. In in spirit of jumping right into things and against the advice of everyone we talked to (Mike at the brewshop tried hard to talk us out of it), we decided to start with all grain brewing for our first batch rather than using a malt extract. It was definitely a challenge but we learned a lot. We will post more on our first experience as well as things we learn and questions we have throughout our trials and tribulations. We would appreciate tips and advice as we learn how to become master brewers. Friends, this is also a way to keep you involved in the process as most of you will be testing these "experiments." Thanks for reading and happy brewing.
