Home Brewing Biography: A buddy of mine brought over a homebrew one day... and my wife bought me a brewing kit on my birthday a month later. Never looked back!

I use your basic 5-gallon igloo MLT with a turkey fryer full boil, and batch sparge. Still a pretty basic setup, but it works!

Gender: Male
