Since reading Palmer about 4 years ago, I'd dreamed about brewing on my own but kind of forgot about it, and didn't drink at all for over a year. Glad to say, that's a-changing! My girlfriend bought me a Mr. Beer a couple months ago, which I have to say was a great introduction to the basics of sanitation and fermentation. I figured everyone, everywhere would be hating on it, so I'm glad to see it has a place on HBT, even though I've moved on to carboys after three Mr. Beer brews. Last week I made my first brew starting out with DME and boiling the hops myself, a basic IPA. Here's what it looks like happily doing its thing in my basement, which seems to keep the beer right around 70-72 degrees so far this summer.
And a picture of our latest cat, just because they're fun. She was rescued from our driveway on a rainy night at about 2 weeks old.
Glad to be here, now back to relaxing, not worrying, and having a home brew! :rockin:
