Brewing beer is brilliant. I can't believe I didn't start sooner.

It's like all the best bits of cooking (i.e. you get something nice at the end of it) plus all the best bits of geeky science (experimenting with different strains of yeasts, different mash temperatures and volumes, different sparging techniques, fermentation regimes, different varieties of hops. Hops! Hops are f**king BRILLIANT - I love snipping open a vacuum-packed packet of hops and getting a good ole powerful noseful of the aroma, different types of grain - I recently read a recipe where a geezer was using Shreded Wheat breakfast cereal in his mash in place of more expensive malted wheat)

BRILLIANT.
