Committed...

Ever since arriving here in Switzerland, friends and colleagues curious about brewing have been bugging me about brewing a batch, or many batches, of homebrew.  It's taken me a year to grow accustomed to the concept, source the supplies, find a place to brew and ferment, and generally accept the inevitable. But...I've just finished ordering the necessary equipment for a first foray, targeting an IPA/Pale Ale. It should be something like my Ship of Fools/Garuda Brew given the grain and hop bill, but we'll see. The water is different. The air is different, the equipment is different, but there will still be Fools doing the brewing.

Can't hardly wait!
