Greetings from Rochester!

[reifer1]

Well hello everyone, from the home of Genesee Beer!!
Pretty new to this Home Brew thing...been meaning to do it for a long, long time. So finally, jumped in!
Brewed and bottled a Porter, using an extract kit (added some additional hops though). Came out pretty good! This weekend, planning on starting a Summer Ale, the recipe which I got off of this site (Wild Dog Days of Summer Ale). Saweeet!
I'll apologize right up front for all my pending noob questions, but Ill do my best to scour the site site first for answers.
Well, thanks for having me here!
Looking forward to joining the obsession.
Cheers!
Matt

Hey...so are you a member of the Upstate NY Home Brewer's Assoc? I think that's the name anyways. Just been poking around online and found them. I think they meet monthly. Just wondering if it's worth joining for good info/help/etc?
