Hey everyone,
I'm new. Been brewing for about a year and a half now and just started to think seriously about really getting into it. I'm a Civil Engineering PhD student who loves beer. Until recently, my main tango with beer was mainly in the consumption department, but my friend gave me a mag (How to Homebrew, maybe?) and I became much more interested.
I've only done extract brewing so far (I live in a townhouse, am living on graduate student wages, and don't have the knowledge to go grain only). Started, probably as many of you did, with a couple of kits. Then I imitated the kits with my own ingredients bought from Stan, the local brew man. And now I'm "cloning" beers with my new buddy Smith, BeerSmith.
I've been reading the forum for a while now, and finally pulled the trigger on joining to up my knowledge. I'm looking to upgrade my setup to get some ash recirc action for a continuous splarge (saw this online the other day and about passed out: http://www.jackieboybrewing.com/), but I'll have to upgrade my living quarters and budget before anything like that happens!
Anyway, feels great to be part of the community. Hope to talk to you soon,
WjR
