David, you won’t regret it.
I’ve currently got 3 brews fermenting at the back of a cupboard and another two batches bottle conditioning in my loft.
It’s very addictive, there are so many recipes out there for your favourite beers and the ingredients are cheap. It really is crazy how good the beers turn out, even if you bugger it up you still end up with great beer. I originally hoped my brews would be drinkable, now I’m ultra critical of some of the beers I’m sold in bars on the basis that “I could do better at home” 😉
Opening a beer you brewed yourself from nothing but some grain, hops, water and yeast has got to be one of the most satisfying feeling ever. I just stare at the glass at time, marvelling at the contents!
