Craftsmanship in the world of home beer brewing!  How did I start?  More than 10 years ago my daughter gifted me with a beer brewing kit and so it goes.  Over time I have improved in my processing gear from a propane stove in the garage to automated electric boilers now inside my home.  I have both a 7 gallon boiler (Anvil) and 10 gallon boiler (Brewers Edge).  I had brewed for several years successfully with modest equipment which included a stainless kettle on a propane stove (actually a turkey fryer).  And it worked fine, but winter garage chills were uncomfortable.  I brew both all grain and extract kits.  My leaning has always been Belgian wheat beers.  I do not sell my beers, but share with friends and relatives.  I've extended brewing to wild berry liqueurs such as blackberry, blueberry, and thimbleberry.  The process is quite different and the berry picking is the most difficult part.  As an aside my daughter is a wine certified expert and also a key beer sampler.  She too brews berry liqueurs.  Her BLOG is :

So to any newcomers, give it a try.  It is a rewarding hobby and you may never want to buy a beer again.
