Hi everyone. Long time lurker, relatively new member. I guess I'd describe myself as a pretty new brewer. I brewed one 3-gallon batch about 25 years ago, and really enjoyed it. Then, this past Christmas, my wife got me Palmer's and Papazian's books. I took that as a sign that she was on board with me giving it another go (or maybe it was just that she was tired of my constant hints for months prior to that, and she was just shutting me up).
A few weeks back I brewed a relatively simple session IPA as my first modern brew. I just tasted the first one earlier this evening and I'm in love! Last weekend I brewed a batch of apple cider as a Valentine's gift to my wife, and we're both eagerly waiting for that to be ready too. I've already started on the early stages of planning a keezer (because I didn't need to wait 25 years to remember that bottling is a pain), as well as thinking of ways to use the remaining cold weather to possibly do some lagering in my unheated garage.
I love how welcoming and helpful the homebrewing community is. With all the poison to be found around the internet, it's refreshingly welcome.
I found this site as a result of browsing reddit, so say hi to me there too if you see me around (same user name). I'm also considering checking out a meeting of the Edmonton Homebrewers Guild, because that sounds cool too.
So, hello again, it's awesome to be here!
