Quick about me:
Name is Michael(Mikey is what people call me), I live in Northern NJ and stumbled upon this site shortly after getting my first kit for my B-day in October. I tend to learn things on my own so now that I'm on my third batch and have read a ton of info on here I'm feeling a little more confident about my brewing abilities and can finally say Hi, so...Hi. I have one too many things on my plate so here goes a short list. I'm a professional photographer(owner of a company), web design, snowboarding, Sport Fishing Captain(certified OUPV by the coast guard), work full-time and am in the process of renovating our house. Luckily, brewing beer is mostly waiting so the time flies.
I've been a sort of beer connoisseur(consumer) for a few years now but haven't made the jump into the home brewing circuit for financial reasons. I tend to jump in feet first and buy the best of everything before I even find out if I like it. If I do like it I invest even more time(time=money) into my hobbies and my SWMBO wanted to finish the kitchen renovations first. So now that I have a decent kit courtesy of her and enough bottles stock piled I can get my pipeline going. My first batch was a disaster as it took about 6 hours to get it done, but now I'm way more organized and feel much better about it.
Lastly, thanks to all the people of this site that willing share their info with the public. So far I can honestly say this is one of the most helpful sites I've visited.
