Hello from NH HBT!
I started brewing in the late 80s with a first edition of Papazian and some buckets in my bathtub. I fell in love with the science of it, and after honing my skills for about ten years I went to the Siebel Institute to learn from the pros and opened a restaurant with plans to convert it to a brewpub.
Long story short, that didn't work out and the failure crushed my spirit to the point that I lost all interest in brewing for almost 20 years.
But about three months ago I came across the old Cornies in the back of the shed and something clicked. I did a little research, bought a Grainfather, converted my exercise room to a brewery, and three of those old Cornies are now full of beer again in a shiny new kegerator where my home gym used to sit. It's a much better use of the space.
I'm loving the easy access to quality ingredients, equipment, and information that I didn't have 25 years ago, and I'm excited to once again be a part of the homebrewing community. Cheers!
