Welcome to Homebrewcompanion!



I'd like to say first that this webpage is in no way an attempt to steal the name of a popular book by homebrew guru and author Charlie Papazian. My wife just gave me the idea for this domain name and it sounded good, so I registered it. No disrespect intended to Charlie Papazian. Actually Mr. Papazian has been a great inspiration to both me and many other homebrewers. His book "The Homebrewer's Companion" can be found here. I would encourage any aspiring brewer to read the book as well as "The Complete Joy of Homebrewing". It can be found here. Both are excellent resources and would be money well spent for anyone who enjoys brewing at home.

I started this website a while ago with the intention of doing all the writing myself. Due to a respect for the collaborative writing process (and a healthy dose of sheer laziness to be honest) I've since decided to include the writings of other homebrewers. Sections that have been written by people other than me will have their name at the bottom of the page that links back to their site. I am thankful to those who have written for this site and to those who read it. Without other homebrewing writers and readers this site would likely never be finished. If you like the idea of having your writing included here please email me at the address linked above. If you just want to read that's great too. It's all in the name of fun, enjoyment and good brewing.

Cheers,
Dude
