Don fron Windsor Jct

Post by De55jay » Fri Jan 11, 2013 12:58 am

Hi All
I use to brew when I was young and enjoy it but gave it up because of dealing with bottles . I always talk about doing it again if I had a keg system . Well I finally got one so here I start . I do enjoy full bodied heavier beer and still enjoy the odd one but my taste has change to lighter beers. I like beers that have a nice beer taste but a smooth clean finish and low carb like Michelob ultra . I know most are going to snub me because of wanting to brew a light beer but i have an issue I am a type 2 diabetic and only suppose to have one beer a day with no saving it for the weekend LOL. So a nice lighter beer 4~3% ( not near beer) so I could have a beer or 2 more ofter and be proud that I made it my self. Sort of getting tired of drink water most of the time . My Brother-in law did a Festabrew dry Lager and Kegged it and I was impressed so I bought one of them to start . If by change there is some one else in the group would has brewed lighter beer, I like to hear how you made out .
And as I have read in this Forum Once you start Kegging its not long before you have 3,4 ,5 or 6 Kegs LOL so it won't be long before I have more Kegs for the keganator with other brews
to share with my friends .

Thanks and Cheers
:cheers2:

Light beers are fine. It's the companies that make them that suck, lol.

Welcome aboard!
And yes, lots of flavourful low alcohol beers being brewed here. Have you tried the English Brown Ales or Ordinary Bitters? 3% beer with a ton of complexity. Much better than water. :)

:welcome:
"Twenty years ago — a time, by the way, that hops such as Simcoe and Citra were already being developed, but weren’t about to find immediate popularity — there wasn’t a brewer on earth who would have gone to the annual Hop Growers of American convention and said, “I’m going to have a beer that we make 4,000 barrels of, one time a year. It flies off the shelf at damn near $20 a six-pack, and you know what it smells like? It smells like your cat ate your weed and then pissed in the Christmas tree.” - Bell’s Brewery Director of Operations John Mallet on the scent of their popular Hopslam.
