Welcome! I'm originally from NE Kentucky (Ashland area). I did my BA and MA at Marshall (Go Herd!). If you happen to be anywhere close to the Huntington or Charleston area, there is a fantastic homebrew club called the Greater Huntington Homebrewing Club (I believe thats the official name). They are an incredible bunch of guys and gals and many have been brewing for 20 years or more. Anyway, welcome to the obsession that is homebrewing.
