As a financially strapped university student, I bought a can of malt extract. It came as a “kit” and included cheap, way-past-due bread yeast. It was barely drinkable but I was fascinated with the process and convinced I could brew something better.

I got my first, very primitive start in home brewing while working in the QA lab at the old Labatts brewery in Saskatoon during my first go-around at university. I continued extract brewing back in the 1980’s before having children & before returning to university to start a second career as a psychologist.

I didn’t get into craft beer & homebrewing until after I had four kids. I’m not saying they are the reason I drink, but I do know to relax with a beer when the rare opportunity presents itself.

Pat jumped right into all-grain brewing (after a year of YouTube research and then a learn to homebrew class @ Short Finger) for his first batch and has been doing so since 2016.
