Like a bad movie

Up ‘til now my posts have jumped back and forth in time like a bad movie and so may be difficult to follow. The reason I started by posting about the past was to give a little background about my brewing experiences and to show that brewing is an evolutionary process, you can brew good beer with just a little investment for equipment. Often you can even borrow some of the equipment, like I did, to get started. If you get the brewing bug you can upgrade as little or as much as the budget will allow and still continue brewing. To give some relativity to the posts I have created a timeline. I am nearly up to date so the posts will be less frequent and perhaps stray off topic a little more. Also, the chronology should become a little more orderly.
