Hello there.
I come from a country which is famous for its hops around the world. We have two breweries. Slovenians mostly swear by one of the two brands that we have. Both breweries produce lagers of mass production, which are consequently without any special taste. They don't use Slovenian hops, they use Chinese hop extract what is a shame in my opinion. The last couple of years things are improving. Several microbreweries have Ben formed and they brew all kinds of beer and use Slovenian hops. Home brewing is still a fiction. So, how I came up with home brewing in such an environment?
One summer day my friend Mark and I were drinking beer after beer at the garden behind my house. We talked about an article of home brewing, and the next morning, like a bolt out of the blue comes to my mind that I typed into google the phrase "home brew" (in Slovenian "domače pivovarstvo) and one of the top hits was Slovenian internet store for home brewing. They sell only ekstract kits and an equipment for that sort of brewing. So I have orderet starter kit from mr Malt, and I have brewed several kits in the last year or so. Mostly it was dark stouts that my wife loves. But I want more , so I am gathering and making the equipment for all grain brewing for some time now. I am expecting my first batch of all grain in couple of Mont's. I will post it up here
I apologise for my poor writing in English. I understand everything, but for writing I need help from google translator or my wife, and now she is not by my site to correct my mistakes
