I like making things! I am a Machinist by trade. I love to fish, but in the Winter months when it's too cool to fish, I make my own fishing lures. Made my own molds for pouring the lead-head jigs. I also like Vegetable gardening and canning veggies. I like to barbecue and smoke meats. I like to brew my own beer and now I'm planning to build a Keezer and a Brewstand.

- Home Brewing Biography
- Former B.M.C. drinker, switched to Craft Beers, and was enlightened to all the different styles and flavors available. Eventually I started brewing my own, starting with Partial Mash, then BIAB, and now I mainly mash with a cooler and batch sparge.
- Future Brews
- I'm planning to brew a clone on Bridgeport's King Pin, Double Red-Triple Hopped Ale. First attempt was a fail, wrong yeast (Omega's Hothead Ale Yeast), too much Rye Malt made it very licorice'y. I'm halving the Rye, and switching to WLP007 for a drier finish.
