Glad to be aboard!...Im a nOOb brewer but a seasoned beer drinker. There are 7 craft brewerys within a 2 mile radius of my home so I dont know what prompted me to try my hand at brewing. I think because its a challenge and its fun! I jumped right into AG brewing and have 3 batches in bottles. Just bought a chest freezer and dual controller to get fermentation more accurate. Love beer and love this site!
