Greetings from Portland, OR.

Hey there! I found HBT while googling various homebrew methods, yeast & fermentation procedures, etc. I got interested in this hobby after watching the documentary "Blood Into Wine" which follows Maynard James Keenan from the band TOOL, and his winemaking exploits in Arizona. I'm not a big wine fan, but the seed was planted in my mind and just wouldn't quit.

I have a 3 Liter starter of Nottingham chilling in my fridge, ready to brew my first ever batch on Tuesday! Thanks for being a helpful community!

Thank ya thank ya thank ya. Yeah, I already get a lot of rolling of the eyes from my girlfriend when I start to talk about THE NEW THING I LEARNED ABOUT BEER TODAY. I can sink my teeth into this homebrewing thing...

Welcome! You have been bitten by the brewing bug. I haven't stopped since I started over a year ago. I live about 50 miles west of Portland in Amity. Sorry, but I cannot handle Portland, not very car-friendly. Good thing all those breweries distribute their beer out to my area....
