For at least the better part of the past decade, I’ve been telling everybody in earshot about how much I’d love to start brewing my own beer. There always seemed to be some kind of well thought out “reason” not to start my home brewery – not enough space, not enough cash for equipment, not enough time, etc.

Well, this past week, I finally squelched those evil thoughts, and decided to jump on in. After picking up Papazian’s Complete Joy of Homebrewing a little while back, doing ridiculous amounts of research on the internet, and thanks to my wife’s exasperated nudges, I finally went ahead and ordered some starter brewing equipment through Northern Brewer and Austin Homebrew.

I feel like I still have a lot of prep work left to do, but I can’t wait to get started. I’ll be using this site to document my journey into homebrewing, and I will, of course, also be rambling on and on about random beer-related topics.  Stay tuned.

Cheers!
