Enjoying a glass of my homemade pear wine right now and thought I'd see if anyone else out there has tried their hand at making their own beverages. I've found that brewing is stupid easy and wish I had gotten into the hobby sooner than I did.
This pear brandy is good and is ridiculously cheap to make (aside from the starting equipment costs), and I've also made a honey porter beer, which was a bit hoppy but had a nice flavor. I've got four gallons of a raspberry wine fermenting in my closet that I'm pumped about!
If you've tried it, I'd love to hear what you have made. Cheers!

I'm the head brewer for Walking Man Brewing and I encourage anyone who's interested in trying their hand at the art of homebrewing. I've been a professional brewer for over eight years: two years at Portland Brewing/Pyramid and six years at Hale's Ales. I was thinking of starting a group here for homebrewers, brewers, and aspiring brewers for support and maybe gaming together. Not sure if there are enough of us around to warrant a group though...we would also need a cool name....
