G'day all, hope you are all keeping cool in this heat with your favourite brew!!Just wanted to say Hello and introduce myself but didnt know where to post this, so i thought in the beginner section, as i am VERY much a beginner.
I have always been intrigued by home brewing, reminiscing of old times when i used to wake up to exploding glass stubbies as a child when my silly old coot of a father used to home brew (Although i must say the man KNEW how to brew...but as i did my taste tests as a minor...ssshhh) Now i have finally, 20 years later decided to venture into home brewing, and PET bottles for now..... I have bought a few books on the subject, read a lot on the net and am now in day 2 of my first ferment. Unfortunately due to my Noobness i bought the coopers micro brew kit and am just brewing the lager tin contained within it, but still look forward to sampling my work. I want to Eventually venture into my own 'custom' brews ...with dreams to create a Maredsous or Grimbergen Tripel...my favourite beer....
My wife is even keen to give brewing (or distilling) a go too!!! gotta love that gal o mine!!
I am by 'trade' a scientist and medical specialist/Biologist so i can always offer help when all science-y questions arise and am happy to help wherever i may.
I wish you all luck and hope it aint as hot where you are as it is here in Bendigo
