ABOUT ME

General Interests: All Grain Brewing
Occupation: Systems Engineer
Favorite Music: Pink Floyd
Home Brewing Biography: My father acquired a Mr. Beer(or something similar) kit for Christmas one year (sometime in the 90s). I became very interested in brewing and Christmas 2002 my parents got my a True Brew kit. I was doing extracts on and off for about 6 years until about 3 years ago when I started brewing rather regularly. I discovered, while looking to replicate an extract recipe that I had brewed, that there was something called All Grain brewing. Well that began my obsession. And I haven't slowed down since. My toys have just gotten much more expensive.
Future Brews: I really want to try a stein beer...we'll see if I ever get to it.
Primary: Oatmeal Stout

I stained them dark to match the bar color. bought the hanger bolts, ferrules, and finials

So my father build a bar in his backyard last year and has wanted to upgrade. He wants to get a
