Its St. Patty's Day. As good a day as any to start a blog about beer. But more than just about beer. This blog will be a chronicle about my adventures in homebrewing.
During the day I am a neurophysiologist. That means that I spend my day in the operating room watching squiggles on a screen while a surgeon is poking around on some poor patient's brain or spinal cord. Its rewarding, but very stressful.
I needed a hobby ---- bad.
Well, I had toyed around with homebrewing beer a couple of times in past years, but never really got into it as a full fledged hobby. But now I've taken the plunge. Got some equipment and have a couple of batches under my belt. I find the whole brewing process challenging but relaxing at the same time. On brew day, you forget everything else and for a couple of hours you get lost in the process. It is, for a lack of a better term, -- very Zen.
My plan is to chronicle the process of learning how to brew a good batch of beer. I want to share my successes and mistakes in the hopes that anyone taking up the hobby can learn from them. Since I have already brewed a couple of batches, the first few entries will be a history of what I have learned so far.
I hope that you will enjoy this adventure.
