I'm submitting this because a friend recently introduced me to homebrewing. It's really easy to get started, and doesn't take much time or equipment (unless you want it to).
I thought it might be something that some people around here might be interested in, and might not see otherwise. It is fantastically geeky in all the right ways.
P.S. I'm not endorsing drinking more beer, I'm endorsing drinking better beer. Brew exactly the beer you would want to drink, even if it would never be commercially viable to sell.
- lbrandy 16y agoI agree, although I haven't started brewing yet (my brother does). Doing it by yourself, I think, is hard, cause it's difficult to make a "reasonable" amount of beer for one person. That said, it is def. appropriate for HN. Beer brewing is on my short-list of "telling hobbies" that is most certainly hacker-tastic. It just seems to be the kind of thing that good devs are drawn to, I could only make an educated guess as to why. I told my brother he needs to put it on his resume, somewhere at the bottom, because if I saw it on a resume, I'd give mental bonus points.
