Home Brewing Biography: Me and two friends have been brewing for a year. Started with one extract beer, moved directly to partial mash. Now we're doing mead and all grain. We brew a lot of imperial stouts, bocks, and heavier beers, but not exclusively.

We have 4 glass carboys and a home made setup made out of 3 turkey deep fry kits. We're in the process of cutting up kegs to make a 15 gallon setup soon. (already have kegs, and a 15gal glass fermentor, but trying to read up on how to make mash tun and such)
Future Brews: A lighter amber ale, an all grain imperial stout to resemble our previous partial mash, and anything that comes up
Primary: Mt hood Pilsner
Overhopped IPA
Secondary: a few meads
Bottled: Guniess style garbage
meads
Kegged: a 10% stout, a few scotish ales, and a lighter beer
