Back in the day, I used to do some home brewing. Believe it or not, I lived a couple suburbs away from the father of contemporary do-it-yourself home brewing - Charlie Papazian. I even had a coffee-stout entry in the "Great American Beer Festival". My brew didn't place well in the competition - but honestly, winning awards isn't what it's all about.

I'm thinking again of doing some home brewing. Just wondering if anyone else out there in Puna district is home brewing? I imagine the costs are prohibitive here for the raw ingredients. I'm interested in getting started again. A group could potentially bring the costs down with volume purchases....anyone out there?
