Reformed brewer, now single malt imbiber and collector instead. Was into it big about 12 years ago and made 6-8 big batches---canadian lager, american lager, scotch ale, amber ale, brown ale and a failed attempt at a pilsner. Endd up with so much beer in my basement I couldn't keep my friends away from the house. Then developed a heart condition that forced me to be more selective in my drinking as I was not allowed more than 1-2 a day, even on special occasions or friday nights. So I migrated to single malts. And in the 4 moves I have made since my last batch all my gear and bottles, etc.., has slowly made its way into garage sales or the garbage. Worst of all a lot of the beer went to waste as it sat undrank in my basement for too long and went bad.
