So who are these guys, really?

Well, in short, we are brewers just like you...

Brewing since 2005...

While I considered brewing my own beer in the past, It took my wedding to finally get me to give it a shot.  You see, for a wedding present one of my very good friends home brewed a batch of Pale Ale, and private labeled it "Holy Maltrimony."   He gave a case to my wife and I, and the content of the labels included ingredients such as: Malt, water, hops, yeast, ball, chain, etc. (I imagine the comedic factor certainly played a major factor in my interest in brewing my own beer as well).  Not only was this home brewed beer tasty, it was inspiration, and I decided it was time for me to pursue the hobby.  I never knew how much I would enjoy this very rewarding hobby as well as the friends I have met along the way.

November of 2005... yup, that's when I began...  That's really not that long ago, and I must say I've made many improvements in my brewing process along the way... Improvements that you will make if you find yourself serious about this hobby as well.

Personally, as a home brewer who has grown in to this fantastic hobby, I recognize the many steps and feats a home brewer goes through along the way.  There are many major steps of evolution in a home brewers journey, some of the major steps include:

1)  Switching from extract to all grain.
2)  Switching from bottling to kegging
3)  Upgrading to temperature controlled fermentations
4)  Stepping up to an easy to use home brew stand or system

While the homebrewer can make great beer without, stepping up to an easy to use home brew system will simplify your brew day, making it easy to repeat your process over and over again!
