Hello all,
My name is Anthony, I live at Castle Hill in Sydney's north west.
I was once a very active home brewer who essentially stopped because I had a busy job... and children came along. It became much easier to buy the occasional carton.
Of the 3 children I have been blessed to have, one is now 20 years old and bringing his rubgy mates over for after game BBQs and pre-evening-out beers. I love having the young guys and their friends over, but they can consume some relatively expensive beer in alarmingly short periods. I thought it time to teach my oldest bloke a life skill, and save some money on brewing our own.
If it only came down to the money I would stick with buying beer........home brewed beer has always been about making beautiful product at a reasonable price. Can't think of a better excuse to kick off again.
I recently attended a brewing course with Vince Costanso, which was wonderful. This time round I am using that new-fangled BIAB technique... and we will see what happens.
A couple of brews in and very happy.
I love a hoppie lager and could happily fill a wading pool in Aussie Brewery dark ale and try and drain it in an afternoon! Love that beer.
I thought I would say thank you in advance for the answers to my dumb questions, thanks for the funny comments, and thanks for sharing your knowledge and enthusiasm. I know there will be plenty of knowledge transfers.....I susppect mainly inbound to me, and scarcely outward bound to the community. But hey, I will try.
All the best, Anthony
