Zymology
Zymology, also known as zymurgy (from the Greek: ζύμωσις+ἔργον, "the workings of fermentation") is an applied science which studies the biochemical process of fermentation and its practical uses. Common topics include the selection of fermenting yeast and bacteria species and their use in brewing, wine making, fermenting milk, and the making of other fermented foods. I refer to myself as a zymurgist; I'm a home brewer. I started brewing extract recipes in 2005 and quickly converted to the all-grain method. I've brewed every style of beer except Belgian's. I just can't seem to acquire a taste for that style.
I also enjoy woodworking and shooting handguns... both of which are incompatible with partaking in the "fruits" of home brewing.

I received a "kit" for home brewing one year for Christmas. It was sure interesting to learn the process. And the IPA was some of the best I've tasted. I only made one batch, but I learned a lot.

Thought about it, thought about growing a garden also. In the end it was just cheaper to go buy it.

It certainly is less expensive to brew your own vs. buying from a store, once you recover from putting your system together. Crafting a beer that tastes just like a commercial mega/micro brewery is rewarding. It's a hobby, not a job, so I don't mind putting in the long brew day. The science behind the all-grain brewing process is quite interesting and that's what keeps me interested. In order to brew a beer to style, one needs to understand how different grains, hops, yeast, water quality, pH and temperature work together.

I picked up a couple Fast Ferment systems last year and love them. Trying to decide if I can mount them in the basement to brew on the road when we go full time.

Yup - Carol and our family/friends also enjoy supporting the local brewers and others as we travel. Never had the desire to brew ourselves as as Dallas said, just easy to go buy and enjoy the breweries and family/friends.
Many good beers being brewed across the country in a wonderful environment where the various brewers share and support each other......good stuff. Attached picture of a few we picked up in Wisconsin last August !
