Hello World: My First Blog Post
This is the first post on my new blog! Here I will share my journey in craft brewing, from recipes and techniques to gear reviews and local brewery spotlights.
Welcome to Carrera Brews
Welcome to my new blog! I'm John Carrera, and I've been passionate about craft brewing for over a decade. What started as a garage hobby has turned into a deep dive into the art and science of making beer.
What to Expect
On this blog, I'll be sharing everything I've learned, including:
- In-depth Guides: From beginner tutorials to advanced techniques like water chemistry and pressure fermentation.
- Honest Gear Reviews: My take on the equipment I use every day in my home brewery.
- Recipe Breakdowns: Detailed walkthroughs of my favorite recipes, including my signature Lake Effect Haze.
- Brewery Spotlights: Exploring the amazing craft beer scene here in Pennsylvania and beyond.
My goal is to create a resource that is both deeply personal and technically excellent. I believe that every beer tells a story, and I'm excited to share mine with you.
"Measure everything, but trust your palate."
This is my core philosophy. Brewing is a craft that balances precision with playfulness. I hope this blog inspires you to experiment, learn, and most importantly, brew beer that you're proud of.
Cheers,
John Carrera
