	History I started brewing in the summer of 2007. My “crazy” neighbor at the time came back from a trip to Ohio with a homebrewing equipment kit and a Dunkelweizen kit. With much skepticism, I helped him make the kit, wondering if this stuff was going to produce alcohol, make me blind, or possibly both. Turns out, after a night of drinking several of the bottles, we were successful in fermenting sugars into alcohol, and it tasted pretty good. A few weeks later, I got my own kit for my birthday present. The following year I managed to win a couple of medals in the Fruit Beer and Spice, Herb, Vegetable categories. I went to my first homebrew competition; my wife and I were stewards there, and after that I knew this homebrewing thing was one of those hobbies that was here to stay. In the summer of 2009 I took the BJCP exam and that December I was elected president of the Brevard County homebrew club, SAAZ. Philosophy: Keep brewing fun. As an engineer, I tend to over-analyze things, and maybe that is what helped me to do well on the BJCP exam, but when it comes to brewing, it’s a fun hobby. I encourage my friends to brew at whatever level they are comfortable and enjoy the process and the results.
