Hey Legends,
Finally signing myself up to a forum because I have so many questions and I love to share whatever knowledge I've learned myself. I find the knowledge in this industry to be very elusive. I have a bit of experience working in a brewery and I've got heaps of friends who were involved in the industry but I've found that people hold tight to their knowledge like it some sort of golden egg. It can make it really frustrating to learn and expand.
I started brewing 2+ years ago and I went straight into all grain. I'm a Canadian who's lived in Australia for 10 years and when I moved here the craft beer scene was average at best, and a far cry from what North America had to offer. But now, holy hell has it come leaps and bounds, but its freakin exxy. I know that I can make as good or better beer then is available on the market today and over the last 9 months I have upgraded my homebrew system to epic proportions. Yesterday I did my very first brew on my new kit and I could not be happier. It's a New England IPA with kveik, and fermenting under pressure with the fermzilla. I'm on rainwater as well so I've had to engineer a counterflow system, and I converted my old emersion chiller into HERMS and it all went pretty well yesterday. Some definite hiccups with the mash and sparge, but to be expected.
Excited to be involved here and look forward to meeting you legends.
