ABOUT ME

City: Fort Collins, CO

Home Brewing Biography: I don't even know what got me into home brewing. I think I just decided one day to try it. I do a lot of cooking and I always want to "make my own". From bread to chips to macaroni and cheese, everything tastes better when it doesn't come from a box. I figured the same goes for beer.

I sent you an email to order a fitting. I'm just posting here too because that seems to be what

Very cool faucet. I was a few weeks away from ordering some 525's to complete out my new keezer
build. Now, all the faucets can match. Thanks for making this available.

I've never added pumpkin to any beer, but I don't see why not. I think ginger would be a pretty
good addition to this recipe. I'm planning on a gingerbread stout this year instead of the
usual spice a...
