About Me-Mob Barley

Bobby Don Johnson - www.Winning-Homebrew.com/

My name is Bobby Don Johnson, aka. Mob Barley, and I brew in Meaux, Louisiana, a small community southwest of Lafayette. My home brewery is called "Mob Barley's Brewery". I've had the name for a while now and when I chose it, the only reference I could find on the internet was a bowling club up in Michigan. I believe there is a band by that name now, but I'm the only brewer going by that name as far as I know. If you see it listed in competition results, that will be me.

I'm back in the MCAB (Masters Championship of Amateur Brewing) again this year. I did really well last year, winning a first in Strong Ale category and a 2nd Runner-Up for Best of Show. I'm really excited about this competition and look forward to competing once again in what I consider one of the top competitions in the country.

The reason for writing this website is to consolidate the huge amount of technical brewing information from the best sources in the brewing industry into one website. Hopefully this will make it easier to find the information you are looking for without spending hours online.

I have a large brewing library and I've read most of the books on homebrewing beer (and wine and mead for that matter), so I have a lot of resources to draw upon. I hope to present what I've learned in a manner you will enjoy reading while researching your brewing questions. I say let's all learn to make better beer, everyone benefits in the long run (I may be drinking your beer when you turn pro.)

Entering homebrew competitions is a lot of fun, if you are a competitive person. I try to enter homebrew competitions so I can gauge my progress or get feedback on a specific recipe. Plus it gives me a little credibility as the author of a homebrewing site. I've been lucky enough to win some national awards recently and some Best of Shows as well. One thing about homebrewing is that you will never know everything, so I'll continue entering homebrew competitions and learning from the feedback to improve my processes and recipes.

I hope you enjoy the site and like the information I've presented. I'm learning a lot while writing it and think I've included information from the best sources in the brewing world. Hopefully I can grow the site into a Winning-Homebrew website.
