Help Support Homebrew Talk - Beer, Wine, Mead, & Cider Brewing Discussion Forum:
Very attention to detail which shows in my ammo reloading, cooking, math major, computer jobs/teaching. Computer/SciFi/Gaming geek for too many years even now that I'm old. Fortunate to have a wife that shares a few of these things and agrees to disagree about a few. New to Carolinas and it is beautiful to go on motorcycle rides to relax.
Always loved cooking and thought a few years ago to try to get her to make cider. I didn't have the patience. Turns out I love cooking and now make beers/ciders I don't really drink. More fun to make them. And turns out after a while, they build up and I do have the patience to put a cider back a year+. Took me a while to find the first beer I thought might be worth having 2-3 of. Mostly I'm happy making a couple gallons of something but obsess over the waste in materials I'm not using.

- Home Brewing Biography
- Started a handful years ago with a couple 1gal glass jugs. Lots of reading, lots of attention to details, often 3-5 different brews in 1gal. When I hit my three recipes I actually enjoy I upgraded to a 3 gallon glass. Big enough.
- Future Brews
- Experiment with Porter and Tripel as I think I'd like them when I find how to do it well. Physical process of my Kolsch was a hurdle to do well.
- Bottled
- Only ever made all-grain. Three on top of list Irish Red Ale, Cream Ale and Kolsch, maybe dozen others including IPA, Porter, English Ale light/med, SMASH. Several Ciders (getting better). Few fruit wines.
- Kegged
- Don't keg. Don't think it's for me. I do have a carb tank to do 1 liter test carbs of brew/cider with though. Just don't drink much and don't see that volume not going bad waiting for me, much less the logistics of cooling it somewhere.
