Welcome to Borbosha Homebew!

 

What is Borbosha Homebew you ask? Well, it’s really quite simple. I am Borbosha, and this blog talks about my Homebrew. I will also be using it to post my reviews and opinions on commercial beers, as well as other homebrew beers!

 

A little about myself

I got into homebrewing in January of 2011 after receiving a homebrew kit for Christmas. My first batch of homebrew was the simplest recipe one could imagine. It consisted of two cans of malt extract, one of which was pre-hopped, and five gallons of water. Less than an hour after starting I had my first batch brewing. Since then I have moved into a partial-extract brewing method where I use extracts for the bulk of the sugars but use specialty grains, steeped in hot water for at least 30 minutes, to add flavoring. I also do a full 1 hour boil to add hops and other additions. Since moving into this method I have been much happier with the results and want to move to all-grain brewing eventually.

 

Where I hope to go with this blog

Being new to homebrewing I hope for this site to be a way for me to document my learning process. Hopefully this blog will come in handy for someone else, or at least inspire them to try homebrewing themselves. But even if this blog goes nowhere, at least I will have a log of my brewing.

 

So once again, welcome to Borbosha Homebrew! I hope you enjoy the site and I look forward to your comments and criticism!
