Mini Interview
My first homebrew... Can of Cooper's hopped malt extract, 2 pounds of dextrose and a package of old dry yeast.
Homebrewing Story... My roommate and I made beer in our university dorm room. We thought that if two pounds of dextrose would give us 5% alcohol, then why wouldn't four pounds give us 10% alcohol? It didn't quite work out that way, as you can probably guess. If I recall correctly, we ended up with five gallons of disgusting malt vinegar.

Why I homebrew... To have total control over the creative process, so I can brew a batch to my exact specifications.
Brewing Accomplishments Currently moving up from extract and partial mash to all grain.
