How did you get into brewing?
Continuing in the pointless new forum posts....
How did you get into (home)brewing?
For me it was mostly my brother back home starting to home brew first (since then all 3 of us do). I've been meaning to try for a while until I finally bit the bullet and went up to Great Expectations in the Hutt (utterly disappointing experience). Got it into my head that I was going to use glass bottles, so went next door and bought 4 swap-a-crates of Speights. It was a tough 2 weeks drinking to get through them in time for my first bottling. Unfortunately my first brew was also fizzy and tasteless....

Go for it - the more the merrier mate... as much as I love Epic Pale Ale, Emerson's Pilsner, Renaissance Elemental, Three Boys Oyster Stout etc etc I simply don't want to drink the same beer day after day. Same goes for my homebrew. I find I'm giving more of it away than ever. Give me options.

Might be time to pick up the BJCP and brew something really random?? Something youve never brewed before and maybe never tasted before?? Allthough youve probably tried them all ;oP -

Throw the BJCP book out the window and pull one base malt and 5 special malts out of a hat. Same with the hops and yeast. All out of a hat. Then brew it!
