The day is almost done and I almost forgot my new year resolution. Short term memory is the second thing to go. What is the first? I forget. (old Laugh-in joke).
Anyway, I brewed the barleywine and it is in the fermenter cooking away. Fermenting that is. There is no heat applied.
Last night we had a party to celebrate the 3rd anniversary of the Berks County Homebrew Club. I've only been a member for 1.5 years. Whenever you join a group, there is a period where you feel like the newbie. In a blink of an eye, you are one of the old guard. So it goes.
When I get into a new activity, I do a ton of research. I download articles and read books and magazines and make a lot of mistakes through trial and error.
After a while it becomes old hat. Sometimes it takes a few years. Other times it takes decades. Is it that I become jaded or does something else seem more exciting?
Let me know what you think.

Like you Don, a fine wine improves with age.. But since you have a brain that needs constant stimulation you brew and drink beer while waiting..
The brewing stimulates the brain. The drinking, eh?
