The HBD.ORG Vision, Mission, Purpose and Guiding Principles

The purpose of the HBD.ORG is to provide quality information primarily regarding the amateur production of beer, but including all aspects of brewing, for the purpose of education and reference. Though the main focus is on malt beverages (beer), we present discussions on homemade wine, mead, and cider, as well as other alcoholic beverages resulting through fermentation.

HBD.ORG accomplishes its mission primarily through the serving and maintenance of the emailed Home Brew Digest. HBD.ORG also engages in the collection and preservation of brewing-related web pages, the free hosting of home brew club web sites, serving of communications for home brewing and related hobbiests and the general promotion of home brewing on the internet.

The Home Brew Digest itself is a grassroots discussion group for the subject of beer and brewing. It exists primarily as an emailed digest consisting of questions, answers and information submitted by its audience.

It is the hope of the Janitors and Steering Committee of the Home Brew Digest that it will continue to be the premier source of brewing information on the internet for many years to come. It is also our hope that the HBD web site will become one of the primary jumping off points for home brewers onto the web. But our greatest hope - the drive that makes us put forward the effort - is that you will gain from your exposure to the Home Brew Digest; gain in knowledge, comaraderie and improved brewing techniques.

Cheers!
The Home Brew Digest Janitorial Staff and Steering Committee
