Hello Everyone!
I've been lurking around the forum for about a year, now. I've gotten some great tips along the way, so I figured I'd join the community and hopefully be able to contribute.
I spent some time filling out my profile, but it looks like nothing saved. frustrating...
Short version is that I started with a hard cider in the fall of 2010 and moved to Mr. Beer shortly thereafter. After 2 batches I decided reconstituting wort and waiting wasn't really making beer, so I bought a starter kit for partial boil extract brews. I've been doing that for almost a year now, and I've been thinking about making the jump to all grain. I also built a kegerator this past spring, so I could brew more and bottle less. I'd like to expand the keg pipeline and also get back into bottling select brews soon after I upgrade to all grain.
My complete brewing history:
Planned:
Scotch Ale (tbd)
Oatmeal Stout (tbd)
Zombie Pumpkin 2 (Fall 2012)
Holiday Wheat (Winter 2012)
In Progress:
Orange Blossom Cream Ale (secondary fermentation)
On Tap:
Summer Pale Ale
Past:
Spiced Cider (Fall 2010)
Mr. Beer American Ale (Winter/Spring 2011)
Mr. Beer Blonde Ale 'Thank You Brew' (Summer/Fall 2011)
Zombie Pumpkin (Fall 2011)
Winter Wassail (Winter 2011)
IPA (Spring 2012)
Amber Ale (Spring/Summer 2012)
Hefeweizen (Spring/Summer 2012)
