Howdy Ya’ll!
It seems like it has been a while, but after an extended break from brewing and an ongoing slow down and change of drinking habits, I am once again up to no good! Today I cleaned out my old stash of one gallon fermenters (I sold the big stuff at a yard sale about a year and a half ago), and am working on some brainstorming for new Ideas. Some of which are not related to home brewing specifically, but I believe will still provide some entertainment as they share similar processes to beer brewing.
The last couple years have been a good break, there were significant changes in my personal and professional life that are allowing me to feel and be a better person for my family. I started a new job (possibly the dream job) and stopped drinking, made healthy lifestyle changes, lost a bunch of weight, and made my life better overall.
Yesterday I pulled the trigger on buying back the basic tools that I needed to start making small batches of beer and wine. I’m going really cheap this time and starting out with one gallon batches. At the moment, I am not really drinking, and aside from having a glass here or there during filming a taste test, I am not likely ready for recreational drinking yet. I am, however, quite ready to start doing science experiments in my kitchen again. One gallon batches (for the moment) are the perfect size for me.
I look forward to possibly engaging with you all in the comments on You Tube, or here on my site, while I start to spin up the ol’ engine again!
