Bio"Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy."
-Benjamin Franklin
Welcome to the official blog of Bill's Brewing Company!
This all started when my awesome girlfriend decided to get me a kit for brewing beer at home, something I had been interested in for some time. I have always enjoyed drinking beer, and now I would like to try my hand at brewing it myself.
This blog will feature details of my attempts at brewing various types of beers, with help from various awesome volunteers (this means you, if you are interested). I will probably not brew lagers, because they require refrigerated fermentation and aging. However, recipe suggestions for any type of non-lager beer are highly encouraged, and I will try to brew a number of different styles.
I am not a beer expert, but I do really like it. I am learning more and more through experience and tasting. I want to share successful batches of home brew with friends, and share stories of brewing disasters with all of you here. I will describe successful recipes and brewing protocols for you and for posterity. If you are nice, I may even share a bottle or two (the chances of this increase if you help me with a batch). Batches will hover around five gallons each, or roughly 50 beers (less if I spill a lot, which I tend to do). I shouldn't drink all of that myself. That is one of the top reasons why I look forward to sharing the fruits of my labor with you. Cheers.
Bill's Brewing Company encourages the educated and responsible consumption of all alcoholic beverages, and does not condone drinking them in violation of the law.
