My brewing experience is Zero. I like good beer. The problem with the beer I like is price and availability. I love Avery's Mephistopheles. Only problem is I can only get a 10 oz. serving locally for $14 a glass. I would love to learn to brew something along those lines. I plan on starting with something much simpler.
I am still trying to decide where to start. Do I buy a 5 gal start up kit with the plastic buckets or do I get a kit with glass carboys? Do I buy new or try to pick up someones older brew setup they have outgrown?
We have a couple home brew clubs in the area but I have not been able to attend any of the meetings yet.
I am retired from the US Army and run a veterans outreach program in my area. We primarily do hunting and fishing trips with the local Veterans. I am trying to decide if there is some way to integrate home brewing into the program.
I have also been working on integrating a BBQ/Smoking aspect to the program. During our last fishing trip we made our own BBQ ribs and pulled pork. Sad to say we had to purchase our beer at the store. Would love to have a keg of summer wheat beer for the trip next spring.
I have a background in microbiology and chemistry. I also am a hobby welder with my own MIG, TIG and Stick Machines. I do some basic fab work for friends and family. Willing to trade some work for brewing equipment or hands on experience.
