RE: Petrus aged pale notes + bonus
Homebrewing has been my favorite hobby too, for the last several/many years. What other hobby gives you such enjoyable rewards? (Maybe being a chef or baker, but that's it).
Assuming you're a decent homebrewer, that is :) Nothing worse than a 5 hour brewday, 3 week fermantation, 2 week carbonating, and a taste test at the end that makes you sad. Haven't had too many disappointments like that over the years, but it's always a bit of a question mark when you put the glass to your lips for the first time.
I only started homebrewing last August if I remember correctly and it's just the hobby that keeps on giving. I haven't had any undrinkable ones, just some that I didn't particularly like, but even those turned pretty good after a few months of maturing.
It also allows you to give great gifts that are universally appreciated! :D
