I used to do a lot of it and was pretty good at it... now I have a buddy who runs a brewery and his brewer makes better beer than I ever did, so I just drink his beer. It's great fun, chemistry experiments you can drink. My favorites are IPAs and stouts but probably the best beer we ever made was a true pilsner, which is a far cry from American pilsner. If you've got the fridge capabilities for lagering you should give it a try sometime. I still have all the gear but have too many things going on to do any brewing for the next few years. Enjoy it!
