Home brewing is one hell of a fine hobby: first, it is a hobby that can command very little of your time and money, or very much of your time and money, with no concomitant increase/decrease in enjoyment; second, the variety and quality of homebrewed beer dwarfs that available in stores, and it's cheaper, too! and lastly, the satisfaction of pouring yourself a fresh, delicious beer (note: that's not me, that's some dude from Texas) that you've seen to from grain to glass cannot be underestimated. I brew, and so does the lovely and perspicacious steelcube, I believe - you should too! It really can be a religious experience, as well as a patriotic one. Hoist a tankard tomorrow! And today. And every day.
