An introduction to A Professional Approach to Home Brewing

While it is a passion of mine to help people make beer at home, I suppose it would be better to state that my passion is to help people to make the best possible beer at home.

To clarify, I seek to help home-brewers to identify and construct the beer they wish to make, a beer they can call their own. More often than not, my help is offered by way of advice.

The advice usually pertains to brewing practice, subtle tweaks, yeast suggestions, different malts to try, etc. Over the years of helping homebrewers I have tried my best, and failed at times, to keep the advice I offer free of my opinion, unless it is asked for. The removal of my personal opinion allows me to offer help based on mimicking the practices of professional brewers as best as possible in a home setting.

After all, we strive to create beer to meet the standard of the professional breweries around us, and those are some high standards here in Grand Rapids.
