An Introduction Is In Order

So here starts another home brew blog. My name is Dan and I am keen on self reliance in terms of food and now beverage. For a couple years I have been the author of Urban Veggie Garden Blog which is a journal based on my small home vegetable garden. I am also interested in preserving foods which as it turns out is an easy thing to transition into home brewing from.

This past month I started my first brew with some limited equipment I purchased online. My first brew is hard cider in which I have 4 gallons on the go right now in two separate fermentors. I will explain more about the hard ciders on my next post.

My idea for this blog is to be able to use it to keep track of recipes & dates of brews that I do. I will also try to keep the typing to a minimum and include lots of photographs of my mile stones. In the coming months I hope to transition from cider to ale to wine and so on. I would also like to built up my arsenal of brew equipment well keeping a simple approach to it. Maybe I will pick up a few readings along the way as well......

Until my next post,
Dan

  3. Very nice...my husband and I make several types of home brew.(he does most of the brewing and I am the gardener)... Our most recent brews included an apple lager and a marionberry brew. I never was into drinking fruit flavored beers but these were excellent....check out our blog if you get time..maybe we can share ideas. http://bentsbeergarden.blogspot.com

    Happy brewing!
