Things my brewing brain have been pondering lately...

My backyard hops are a'growin'!

OK, so I’ve decided to segregate my writing. Most of you probably realize by now that I’m the host of a local radio show in Springfield Missouri called Beer Buzz, brought to you by Springfield Brewing Company. Of course, you should go listen to all of the podcasts and tell me how much you like them.


In addition, I’ve been taking an active role in building Springfield, Missouri’s first fully organized not-for-profit Homebrew Club known as the Zymurgists of The Ozarks (aka the Homebrew Zoo). We’ve been around for years, but are actively seeking members to promote craft beer and our hobby to the masses. If you’re interested, you can find us at our web page (just join the forums and start talking) or on Facebook.

I’ve decided that StAngeBrewing.com will be dedicated only to discussions about the homebrewing part of my world, and I’ll leave all the other craft beer stuff on Tagsgf.com, where my beer column lives. I may occasionally talk about a craft beer on here, but the express focus of this blog will be homebrewing.

I have several topics in homebrewing I’ve recently gained an interest in. There will be some posts in the very near future about each of these, so I thought I would give you a primer on them so you know what you’ll see from me soon.
