Indulge me a minute.
I started home brewing some 40 odd years ago, plastic buckets shoved into the heating cupboard curtesy of Boots.
Gave up, not surprising looking back.
Restarted less than a year ago.
The amount of kit available now is a magnitude greater than I was used to, and daunting in its choice.
However, the point of my rambling is that the availability of information available on t’internet and specifically forums like this is astounding when I consider it.
Sure, you have to invest some time in digging around and grasping an understanding of the state of play regarding the available approaches to home brewing but the returns are very rewarding.
This is all down to the individuals willingness to share knowledge and experiences, sometimes warts and all.
If everyone kept knowledge to themselves then I think that the state of the home brew hobby would be a lot poorer than it currently is.
Gentlemen and Ladies - charge your glasses and raise a toast to yourselves for a hobby well done!
p.s. I may or may not be enjoying the fruits of my hobby at the current time....
