What's up HBT!
The day is slowing down for me at work and I figured I'd finally make the jump and join the forum. I regularly frequent the /r/homebrewing sub on Reddit and it's been a great community ever since I picked up homebrewing. Now, I'm looking to frequent HBT on the regular and learn as much as I can from his community, as well.
I always had an interest in homebrewing, but never really thought to start...until my girlfriend's coworker gave me 2 bombers of his pumpkin ale last November/December. It was then that my interest for homebrewing piqued and it's been a fun (and expensive!) ride ever since.
I'm fairly a rookie homebrewer still. I only have 2 completed brews under - an Irish stout and an English brown ale. I've gotten great remarks from my Irish stout, such as my coworker telling me that he still thinks of how good it was weeks after he drank what I gave him. When I gave him more bottles, the look of excitement on his face was geniune and that made me feel good about my beer. It's surprising to me as that Irish stout was my first brew. I've got a 3rd beer on the way which is a clone recipe of Firestone Walker's 805. I'm excited about this one as 805 is one of my favorite beers right now and this'll be the first brew where I get to use a yeast starter and my temp controlled ferm chamber (mini fridge converted).
All these are extract brews, but I'm currently planning on going all-grain in the way of BIAB using a rectangular cooler as a mash tun. Pretty excited about it and definitely looking forward to my first AG brew.
Anyways, I'm stoked to join the HBT community and I can't wait to learn from you guys and hopefully become a contributing member!
Cheers!
