Hello, all!

I had a whole big intro typed out, then the site ate it when I went to preview. So rather than re-type it all, here's the short and sweet:

- I've only brewed two 1 gallon batches from kits
- I don't like IPAs
- I plan to focus on darker, malty beers like Porter, Stouts, Bocks, and Brown Ales
- Looking to stay with smaller size batches (1 to 2.5 gallons) since I don't drink much and my friends prefer crappy, mass produced light beer. Also, I'm cheap and I like to brew inside.

Thanks.
 
Welcome. I lived in hydepark last year. Not sure how far SW you are, but there's a number of clubs in the area that you might be interested in joining. I know the guys at CHBG (chicago homebrew group), and CHAOS (near west loop IIRC) are pretty awesome. There's a few more that are more south side oriented
 
I'm closer to Joliet than Chicago. My LHBS is not really local - a good 30 minutes away. But next time I'm there, I'll see if they know of any clubs.

Thanks for the idea.
