Since going saltwater fishing in Dallas is out of the question I’ve decided to start a new hobby, home brewed beer. I’m starting with the Coopers Beer brewing kit thanks to a personal recommendation from my friend and IgniteDallas organize Chris Bond. Let me know if you home brew and I will post how my venture is going.
