My youngest daughter bought me a "2 bucket" homebrewing kits plus a True Brew beer kit for Christmas 14 years ago. Homebrewing, up to that point, had never crossed my mind. I remember peeling off the Christmas paper wrapping and opening the box and thinking "what the hell am I going to do with this"?
But here I am 14 years later, many $ in additional equipment and BJCP Certified. Who knew, not me, that's for sure!
