So, I know a guy. Who's curious about learning to brew. Not much money, but has plenty of time. Started talking beer and that he's always been curious about it. We (he) keeps talking about getting together at his place to see where we could brew, etc. Then setting up a time to actually do it. He keeps mentioning he wants something going at his place.
I have no problem filling him in on what I know. He says he has a book on how to brew. Just not sure if it's the actual "How to Brew". He says it's over his head. But it always is if you haven't done it before. Need to find out if he has extract or all-grain process he's been thinking about.
Anyway, I think his idea is that I come over to his place with my equipment and brew something or walk him through it.
My issue with that is: if I'm brewing I want it to be MINE. Selfish I know, but....
I think he could afford the ingredients, etc. But in previous conversations, it sounds like he'll want to get together and brew stuff occasionally. but using my stuff or he's hoping to get some "hand-me-down" stuff.
Any input would be appreciated. Or ideas on how to handle it.
I guess the predicament is: I've never shared a brew day before. I've been to another's place and helped and watched and learned about all-grain. But I had nothing of my own. This is; he's expecting beer.
