On December 5, 1996, I brewed my first beer. 25 years later I'm still at it! In this video I take a look back at my first wild beer, brewed in 1998, and the various mistakes that we made...mistakes which still led to a great beer! There is a bit of a surprise near the end, so wait for that (or skip to it using the chapter markers below).
