Hello everyone. I have been lurking the forums for a few weeks and found this community to be great, I am using this opportunity to introduce myself and thank everybody for the excellent advice I have found here.
I had been wanting to start home brewing since last summer, but I didn't start until a few weeks ago, I wanted to make sure I got everything I need it for everything to go well.
For my first batch I decided to brew a vanilla stout, and today was bottling day, and thanks to the great advice I found on the forums everything has gone as planned. Very excited and I can't wait until the day I open my first bottle. Also I'm already planning my second batch, thinking on brewing a jalapeño blonde ale or something similar.

Thanks again guys and gals! Cheers

Thanks, true that it's a fun and great hobby to have, and a lot cheap than my other hobbies, lol. I am not in a rush, I won't start my next batch until March, sadly I live in a small apartment and don't have lots of room for the beer.

I am, well, technically I was, I did shoot pets professionally for a couple of years but I didn't like the business side of it, it left me no time to to enjoy life. But I still photograph pets for local rescues as a volunteer, and also shoot weddings as a second photographer for my girlfriend's business.
