Hi there,
My name is Paul and I live in Greenacres FL, it is the place to be.
After taking a trip to the Tampa Bay area with my girlfriend and doing a brewery hop over 3 days and hitting up a dozen breweries I caught the bug to start brewing on my own.
A great guy, Connor, owner of Avid brewing in St. Pete that also has a home brew store in his brewery told me how easy it is to get into the craft.
Professionally I am a former classically trained chef and now work in IT as a network engineer for a major multinational company. I am a single dad to three kids, two of them teens and a four year old. They keep me on my toes.
My hobbies are cooking, baking and I have a bit of an obsession with rocketry. I build everything from the little Estes rockets you can pick up at any local craft store to 7 foot tall fiberglass ones that require a certification to buy the motors.
My favorite beers to drink are hefeweizen, porters, stouts, nitros, cream ales, brown ales, and Irish Reds. There are some IPAs I like but not the biggest fan of them. I do have a stockpile of DF120 in my closet though. My GF is really into cider, so I will be looking into making cider as well. Probably mostly apple, pineapple and will experiment with some blends.
I really want to cross my extreme culinary palate and come up with some interesting beer flavors. I am sure this is nothing new to brewers, but it is new to me.
Anyway, looking forward to meeting like minded brewers and brewers in general and sharing some beer.
