There's nothing like brewing your own - the smell of the kitchen, the coming together of the ingredients, the cackling of a mad scientist (maybe that's just me..)
My very first one (a Citra IPA) is only a few days away from finishing, can't wait to get stuck in!
Top effort with your stout by the way, really looks the goods!
