Hello from Albany, New york

My brewing career started when i was about 13 with my dad. He made five or so batches bottling the beer, all from kits. I started brewing beer when my dad tried to sell his beer brewing kit at a garage sale for 5 dollars. I told him no when in hell he was selling that, I would give him five dollars for it.

My first batch of beer was a porter clone from brew magazine. I decided (based on my childhood experience) that bottling was not for me. I built a three homebrew kegerator out of a craigslist fridge. I next brewed a sierra nevada clone, and my third beer was a komodo dragon porter.

Now i am working on a saranac black forest lager clone, and building a two keg kegerator out of a sanyo minifridge.

I have been nosing around the forums now since about april (off and on) but i decided it would be time to become a member now that i have some expertise and experiences to share.

Holler at me if you are from the capital district area. I would love to get in touch, share recipes, bulk ingredients, and have a homebrew or two.

Saratoga Springs here.
10 or so batches since last year.

Welcome. How's your backswing?

Thanks! If you are talking about golf, my backswing is fluid and slow. When i get playing, i shoot about bogey golf. I worked at a golf course when i was 15, so i got a lot of practice.

Hey, Rochester here. Too bad you're not closer, I'm looking to do some bulk grain purchases and would like someone local to share with since I can't use 50 lbs in a reasonable time
