So here it is, my first post. I intend that this will serve as a record of all my attempts at brewing and related activities. There are plenty of other, really good blogs about beer out there– links to my favorites are located to the right– but I hope that will not dissuade me from posting or people from reading. I will do my best to update this regularly and often.

I plan to comment on all my brewing endeavors. As I type this, I am boiling the wort for a batch of Honey Brown Ale, using an extract kit from Northern Brewer. Also, I just pulled out a loaf of bread that was made using some stout that I had brewed late last year. I will most certainly cover all the aspects of brewing and related baking that I can, but will also delve into the other happenings in my life (such as my bottle cap table and my horrible, ugly beard that I’m growing… err, am trying to grow in support of the UofM men’s basketball team– Go Tubby!).
