Garrett is a homebrewer in Newark, Delaware. He began brewing in May of 2004 when his wife bought him the equipment to homebrew. He had always talked about starting it as a hobby, and she made sure it became a reality. He has been 100% beer obsessed ever since.

Garrett has participated in several local homebrew competitions, and picked up a couple of ribbons along the way. He brews anywhere from 100 to 200 all-grain gallons a year, giving most of it away to friends and family. He has equipment to brew 5, 10 or 20 gallon batches, although the vast majority of them turn out to be 10 gallons (the 20s he normally splits with fellow brewers). Belgian style beers and dark beers (porters / stouts) are his favorite styles to drink and brew.

He recently began working on merging his programming / computer skills with his homebrewing by developing a VB.NET based platform for homebrew sculptures. Still early in development, it keeps him busy and is slowly progressing. Soon he hopes to begin tying in the electronics and sensor aspect and prototype his ultimate dream - a computer monitored brewing sculpture. His pixel-slinging tendencies certainly show through on this latest endeavor.

 His wife and children are very understanding about it all… perhaps a little too indulgent.
