Landlord.
High there.
My name is Neil (forum name Aneray) and I have been a member of the forum for a couple of years until about a year or so ago. I have brewed beer, lager, wine and cider and whatever else is brewable since I was about fifteen years old until last year when a long running back problem got the better of me and Winston Churchill's 'Black Dog' set in on a milder scale.
Before all of this c**p started, I was working as a chef in a decent job and life was great. I brewed plenty of drinkable beverages and decided to expand the brewing empire( The Camel Toe Brewery !!) and build a brewing shed. Not long after the build and the finer details were sorted out I totally gave up, brewed no beer and left the place to rot. This went on throughout the last year or so until a few weeks ago when I finally decided to get off my fat ass and sort it. The roof had been leaking' leaving a real mess inside and it was that bad that fungi were growing on the ceiling. All the effort that I had put into the project was rotting away until I totally cleared the place out, put a brand new steel roof on top and had the wood burner going to dry it out.
Well, I'm getting there, its nearly dry and nearly ready to brew in again. To be honest, the drinking side of me has really changed. I'm not into drinking on a nightly basis like I used to be, it must be down to the medication, but I have really missed making it. If you are going to make a brew, you need the enthusiasm to follow the whole process through until the final sampling/drinking stage but up until now there has been a part of it lacking. I still have loads of beer and wine kits in the cupboard ready to brew so I think I better get my **** in gear.
To finish for now, I hope to speak to the same old faces who have given me invaluable advice in the past ( Moley, Aleman, Barnsley Brewer, Bob (from this and the other forum), and all the rest including new brewers that I haven't met yet.
All the best
Neil
