A couple of things ...You should give it a shot Vi, Good beer is worth waiting for....
I bought a Book of Pale Ales by Terry Foster. Good reading.
You said that you like Belgian Beers (Bier), Do you have any favorites?
I spent a year brewing nothing but Dubels and Tripels and Saisons.
I also enjoy a good Wit after mowing the lawn.
Actually I drink less because of the Homebrewing, It takes me 5 hours to do a brew session(I'm an all grain brewer) and 1 week in Primary fermentation, 2 weeks in Secondary fermentation (aging) and 2 - 3 weeks in bottle (for natural carbonation.)A couple of things ...
1. I have a very addictive personality. If I started brewing my own beer, I'd drink it to excess.
After the intitial brew is done, fermentation is reliviely hands off until bottling time. Which takes about 1.5 hours.
2. One more hobby and I wouldn't have time to work.
I can understand that, I try to stay away from narcotic pain meds as much as possible.3. I'm almost completely off of alcohol and don't keep it in any form in the house. I decided to stay off of alcohol at the same time I decided to get off of narcotic pain medication.
4. Overall, I was always more of a hard liqueur guy than a beer person.
