Well, according to my records, I have been brewing beer for 12 years now. Thanks to my son and wife for surprising me on my birthday with a starter kit from The Beverage People in Santa Rosa.

The first couple of batches were made from extract in the kitchen.

Luckily, 4 months later I inherited a gravity feed system that had belonged to a friend of ours who was tired of making beer. I also ended up with a kegging system that really changed everything. No more bottling, just hook up the CO2 and stick it in the fridge.
