Beer Brewing Adventures

The first home-brew write-up on the site: a gifted 1-gallon pale ale kit, poor straining, a failed siphon, and about nine bottles from the batch.

As I begin expanding my website, I want to share my initial experiences with home brewing. This new hobby combines three of my passions: coding, automation, and beer consumption.

My first batch is a small 1-gallon pale ale from a kit gifted by my wife, nearing completion. My inaugural attempt involved poor straining techniques, an all-grain approach, and unsuccessful siphoning efforts that resulted in about 9 bottles achieved out of the whole effort.

I plan to pursue an extract-based Black IPA as my next project while continuing to refine my brewing skills alongside my primary focus on coding and software development. Follow my brewing journey right here!
