Yes, I suppose I should have mentioned that in the OP.
I have, but my apt is really small, and I’d constantly have to order hops and other supplies from overseas. I’ll settle on just buying WAY overpriced beer every now and again to fill my real beer cravings. I had a few buddies back home (near San Francisco) who homebrewed, one even does it professionally now. Great beers, dunno if I have that talent though. I can make some damn tasty asian foods, though 
Having access to Bell’s beer makes up for everything.
Good beer also doesn’t have a silver lining.
