Beer

In 2011, I tried brewing my first batch of beer.  I'd been brewing wine for years but I found that I enjoyed making beer more than wine (mostly because I like drinking beer more).  Here are the batches I've made:

Wine

In 2004, I undertook trying to make wine. I've had a few failures along the way but for the most part I've made some pretty good wine. I'd highly recommend this hobby to just about anyone who enjoys wine; it's not time-consuming and it's one of those hobbies that's pretty easy to produce good results (although challenging to produce really outstanding results). Below is a table of the different batches of wine I've made over the years.
