Hello, from Norfolk, Va

[morrissey1]

My name is Sonny, Im new to home brewing and im very excited about my first brew..Brewers Best Holiday Ale. I cooked and transfered my brew to the fermenting stage last night. Im happy to say that within 6 hours I had activity in my airlock, so im off to the races and keeping my fingers crossed. Like all folks im sure, my taste in beer changes like the weather. After having gone through a Imperial stout stage and Imperial porter ive gone totally the other way. Im now really enjoying the Czech style Pilsners. Im married with two kids and Im a Longshoreman. Thats pretty much it, and I look foward to learning all I can about home brewing.

Welcome,

I am in Norfolk as well and just joined the forum too - though I have been brewing for a while. You might want to look into signing up for the local homebrew club as well BARF (Beer and Ale Research Foundation).

Hopefully I'll see you around.

Welcome Sonny from a fellow VA guy originally from Williamsburg, now in Harrisonburg. I'm currently in the Imperial Stout phase you were talking about. You're right, tastes change like the weather. I think it's the cold weather that's driving my preference.
