Learning curve

I have been involved in home brewing for several years. There is a tremendous learning curve when it comes to brewing. I really wish when I first started that I had started with something easy like hard cider. I did the exact opposite and started our trying to make wine. My wine was a dismal failure. I then moved on to brewing beer which is really enjoyable. The thing is that we are not huge beer drinkers. In fact we are not big drinkers of anything. This fall we decided to embark on brewing hard cider. Cider is probably the easiest thing ever to brew. Tonight we will rack our first batch and start a second batch right afterward. I would say that if you have never tried brewing that you should start with cider. Having a successful first batch will keep you enthused about the hobby much more than dismal failure... trust me on that one.
