There is so much I enjoy about home brewing. Its really about the only cooking I actually like to do. :lol:
The wait is the hardest part, but definitely worth it in the end. I can totally understand how people can get really sucked into experimenting and going overboard with purchasing a whole bunch of equipment. I've kept my operation small (3 fermenters), which is only 6 gallons of beer. but it allows me to have 3 different batches going at once, its a nice variety. Now is it cheaper to go and buy beer, yep it sure is. This is just more rewarding in the end!
