Everyone has a diffrent answer to this question and I would like to hear them all.
I got into brewing for a few reasons. It starts with my first 2 hobbies I ever had, drinking and nitro powered R.C. hydroplanes. Living in Canada I have very long and cold winters. Making my R.C. hobby useless for 8 months out of the year. I would compensate this with my other hobby of drinking. In Canada we pay about $45 for a case of 24 good beers. On my way to the beer store it was -45 so I ducked into the only store there was on the way to the beer store in order to warm up. It was a store called Brewers Direct. I was looking around while warming up and they had a beer kit on sale for $5. What a deal $5 for 5 gallons beer I thought to my self. They also had a brewers starter kit on sale for $20 which came with everything you needed to get started. I made the beer kit and I was happy with it but I also decided id rather be satisfied with it instead of just happy. I tried many different kits until my grandfather in law gave me a book on how to brew beer........ now here I am with another hobby and a new appreciation for barley and hops.
