Looking Ahead in Homebrewing You should first know that this post is part of Darren Rowse’s latest group writing project, something I’ve participated in in the past and really enjoyed. So here I am, doing it again. I encourage you visit the home page of the Brew Blog to see what’s been covered here in the blog’s short life. I started my trip in the homebrew hobby just a few short months ago, but I’ve immersed myself so deeply in it that I’ve lost much of the fear and trepidation that kept me from boiling my first wort for so long. It’s such a relaxing, enjoyable hobby with just a ton of comradery built right in. I can think of few other hobbies I’ve had that have brought as much joy. The ranks of homebrewers is swelling, thanks in large part to the organized efforts of groups like the American Homebrewer’s Association, passionate hobbyists like those at The Brewing Network, and high-quality, super knowledgable companies like More Beer. The coming year will no doubt see even more people join the hobby and feel the joy of making something that is truly their own. I’ve taken the role of unpaid, unsponsored evangelist for homebrewing because I just love sharing my experiences with people. In the coming year, I hope to expand my knowledge and, hopefully, my reach by introducing more friends and family to homebrewed beer. A large part of that involves expanding this very blog. I’ll be working on setting up interviews with the men and women who shape the community, from award-winning amateur brewers to new brewmasters just getting their businesses started to long time veterans with tons of tales to tell. For the time being I’m doing much of my work in a vacuum, though I hope to prove myself worthy of being even more involved with some of the established brewing sites out there. Homebrewing isn’t just about the finished product - a fine bottle of brew you can call your own. It really is about the community driven by enthusiasts willing to openly share their knowledge and experience with anyone who asks. Even those who merely like to drink beer without ever wanting to make their own is welcome, though everyone is encouraged to try the hobby out. Homebrewing itself is the perfect marriage of art and science. Being able to share it with people and share your pride makes it all the more worthwhile. I look forward to sharing it all with you in the coming year. Cheers! 6 Responses to “Looking Ahead in Homebrewing”Care to comment?You must be logged in to post a comment. |

I think you’re doing a great job, I have to say this is the only homebrewing blog I’ve ever read and it really does teach me quite a bit about it! We also participated in this project, stop on by if you get a chance!
Beer had been my fav.This seems to be interesting.I will feed your blog.
Just last night as I was sipping my beer, I said, “Beer is awesome!” I really only like one or two flavors… but my husband loves beer… and he’s always trying the local microbrews. This is an interesting blog and I’m glad I found you!
I found you off the ProBlogger predictions and review site…
Cheers!
