Hello from MN

[Wild1z]

Hi Folks,

I forgot to introduce myself as of yet. I'm still trying to learn my around these parts and I apologize in advance if I've posted in some wrong threads.

My name is Rob, I live in MN. I grew up in Slidell, Louisiana. I'm in my late 40's, married, 2 kids. I have several hobbies and addictions, brewing beer being one of them. I have been an Administrator (since 2007) of another unrelated vbulletin forum so I can appreciate what the staff does to keep this place running! Thanks for donating your time, I support thee.

I started brewing in 2012 with the extract kits and a year ago I moved to all grain and liberated myself from bottling at about the same time. I'm a tinkerer and thinker. I have learned this hobby is like playing golf. You can have a great round and you can have a really ****ty one. Same with brewing, it can be very humbling to say the least. Just when you think you got it figured out.. boom!

Typical brew night last night.

Anyway, I look forward to contributing where I can and learning where I should. If the learning sticks, it's a good day!

Cheers!

Rob

Great to see some locals here. Apple Valley here. It'd be nice to have y'all over for a brew session so you watch my bride yell at me for spilling water, using good towels or just being a general pain in the ass. I am good for fodder.

You can be my buffer.

I escaped Sleepy Eye many years ago. It was canning season at Del Monte and people were distracted so I made a break for it. Now that I find myself in the people's republic of Maryland I question that decision.

Eye-boogers. Nice. I'll put that on the list of eye-rolling humor (see what I did there... Ooh the hits keep on coming!) I've heard in regards to my hometown.

Welcome new guy. I'm pretty sure that Minnesota-Nice doesn't apply here and that is a good thing. Enjoy the state. I get back there at every opportunity.

When we go to visit family in Sioux Falls SD, we head down Hwy 60 through Windom to hook up with I-90 @ Worthington. If I ever have some free time on the way we should exchange a few
