About

Some might say I'm just a guy making his way through the universe. You might say I'm a dreamer but I'm not the only one.

What I definitely am is a homebrew enthusiast. I've been brewing from kits for several years. That's my realm. I'm quite happy with the simple 'brew your beers in the shed' mentality.

This website is the sum of my learning and knowledge from practical experience, observations, and wisdom gleaned from others who brew.

If you're new to beer making, hopefully you'll find some handy advice about home brewing here. Here's equipment you might want to start brewing with.

Cheers,
James Ryan — I play guitar worse than I brew.
