Any audiophiles brewing beer?

At times, I've been a pretty serious extract brewer. But on three separate occasions, my brewing partners have become parents, sinking our operation. (To say nothing of the time we got bleach all over my partner's wife's fashionably black maternity clothes.)

I've still got a decent setup, and hope to get back to brewing a keg or two (bottling is the worst part, IMO) of American pale ale once or twice a year, for parties. John

John,
Yes bottling is a pain but also contributes to oxidation which takes away from the beer. Kegging is the way to go, even as a secondary fermenter.
I too brewed in the past but that was 15 years ago and now I'm going full steam.
I thought the audiophile hobby was intense with so many parts connected and playing significant roles and some black art and all those brands contributing too infinite possibilities, but brewing beer also has it's infinite possibilities.
My goal is to brew something like the duchess de bourgogne.

I was a home brewer for a couple of years then got a job as a professional brewer in Colorado for a brewpub. Its hard going back to making 5 gallon at a time after making 500 gallons.

I do agree that kegging is the way to go. Using corny kegs is the best thing since a dishwasher for homebrew.
