I am in Illinois right now for school, but I come from Michigan. I only have one mead under my belt right now however I am working on a cider. I found this site today while surfing for information. I am mostly into the different varieties of meads and ciders. Now i read today, and see that I am going to have to brew this Graff everyone is talking about (stupid suggestion brewing). I like my beer hoppy and rich. Prefferably aged in a bourbon barrel! I like high alcohol brews, and learning that Michigan is truly blesses with microbrews, where Illinois is not. Looking forward to being here.
