Michael Copado is many things. He’s a resident of a Detroit suburb called Fraser. He’s an audiovisual specialist in the field of medical education. And he’s an ordained minister.

Revvy, as he’s known online, is also an active member of online homebrew forums. And he’s one of the most vocal advocates for the resiliency of homebrew you’re likely to encounter. In thread after thread (he’s written more than 40,000 posts on HomeBrewTalk.com alone), you’ll find Michael encouraging new brewers to have patience with their beer, to slow down, to give the process the time it needs.

But as with many of life’s worthwhile pursuits, such an enlightened approach comes from years of experience—ten to be precise. And those ten years naturally featured a few mistakes. That’s why it’s Revvy’s mission to calm new brewers’ nerves and encourage peace of mind.
