Do it badly - to get started
Do it well ­ once it's up and running
Overdo it ­ when it's flying, go in search of excellence

This is my third brewery. I first brewed in plastic drums; then in recycled beer kegs; now in sparkling stainless steel. As good as it gets.

The cost? Less than what other people spend on golf clubs.

Some of the lessons I have learnt:
- You can brew better beer than you can buy
- You need quality yeast and a BIG starter to make quality beer
- You cannot make good beer from bad ingredients (same as in cooking)
- If you are serious about brewing beer, go full grain

I'm still learning...
