New(ish) homebrewer in MN

Hi everyone. Just wanted to say 'hi' and commend everyone for creating such a great forum/resource/community.

I did a couple homebrew batches about 10 years ago before life got too busy. Right after I got started brewing, I moved to a smaller place, got married, had a couple kids, and lost most time and energy for brewing.

I moved to a bigger place this summer and the kids don't require constant supervision anymore, so I have finally regained a little... what do you call it... oh yeah, free time.

So this weekend I'll be doing the first batch in my second (and hopefully much longer) brewing era.

The forums here have been great at helping me get back into a brewing state of mind!

Welcome to HBT and welcome back to brewing! What are you brewing this weekend?

Thanks. Keeping it simple for the first batc -- a Summit extra pale ale clone.

Sounds good! I've got a pale ale ready to bottle.

I started brewing just over a year ago, and the Twin Cities are a great place to be a homebrewer. With 2 Northern Brewer locations and Midwest Supplies within driving distance there is never an excuse to have the ingredients you want.
