I was always intimidated by the equipment needed to brew.  But having a handful of friends that were home brewers helped to break the ice.  Last summer, a friend let a bunch of us brew with his equipment and after that I was hooked.

A little about your brewing philosophy

My brewing philosophy is just to brew beer that I want to drink.  I try to never brew the same beer twice and I always like to do something a little different.  I also like to do big beers, although I do brew a session beer once in a while for the summer months.

Awards

Don’t much care about awards and competitions.  I brew for me not for you, but I do love to share.
