Getting the beer flowing...

Recently I've been really getting into the blogging mood, and am currently working three (including this one) different blogs, that have nothing to do with each other. This one came to me just a few minutes ago after checking my Facebook account.

I had posted last night that I was ordering two extract kits to make and have ready two months from now. Col and were talking about having a tasting party at our house over the summer, and with the two beers that I already have, and two more, this should be a decent party. You see, I created my 'Year of Beer,' an organized plan to never be without the suds. This got me a little more focused on crafting a decent beer, along with a couple friends, Boone and Phil. I began rating more microbrews, keeping notes, purchasing equipment, and with Phil and Boone, started sharing all of our ideas, equipment and processes whenever we get together to brew.

A few people have replied to my Facebook post, and I'm realizing that there are many of my friends, or spouses of friends, who also homebrew. So my idea is that we are going to start a little club of homebrewers. I know there is already one in Lawrence, Kansas (where I am currently situated), but why not create one just among friends? To share our knowledge, equipment, and beer!

So here is the start of my blog on beer. Huzzah!
