Time for Beer

I decided after Christmas to start making my own beer again. Myself and Stephen like to drink quite a bit of beer and in an effort to save some extra money, we are making it. We used to make it a while back and fell completely out of routine, which happens a lot to all of us in life. Anyhow, I am proud to say that so far I've completed a Pilsner, a Stout, and I currently have a Pale Ale brewing, and I am getting another one to put on this week. To make it, I am using this special enhancing sugar instead of regular corn sugar, and it makes a huge difference with head formation and retention as well as carbonation. I enjoy the productive time as it's "my" hobby, and the beer is really good!

Wine making was among my many hobbies over the years but I have never attempted beer making under the assumption it is more complex than wine making, which has never been very successful. Your post gives me some incentive to give it a try. Thanks!
