Starving Brewer Rising

This is here to document the rising of a down and out craftbrewer on the west coast.
I am here to share my happiness with the people around me. I like to make beer and I'll do what I can to keep making that continue.
In about forty hours I plan on mashing in my first homebrew in over 8 years. I have every confidence it'll be fun and help me rebuild my confidence as being a brewer.
It's one thing to know what you love and another to make a living doing that thing you love.
I'm throwing together an IPA based on a recipe I've brewed up before. Lightening up a bit on the malt extract, and adjusted the hops for a little more aroma. I'm mostly happy that my homebrew gear is still in decent condition and that it took considerably less than I figured to get ably started again.
Besides my homebrewing notes, I plan on typing out ideas I have regarding the industry. Luckily there are many things to think about regarding beer.
Be seeing you...
