It's definitely and obsession! I feel bad for you, we are at 2F here with a windchill of -15F. Miserable. Oh well, just another good reason to warm up wth a high ABV beer!
That's absolutely a great idea. I did the same before I started and it really clarified a lot of things for me. Let me know if you're in Columbus and if I'm around we can grab a brew.
I appreciate the welcome! I definitely have heard of Jackie O's but I haven't had the chance to get down there and have a few. I'll hit you up if I'm ever planning a trip and I'll certainly take you up on the learning.
Brand new to homebrewing. I have been a craft brew enthusiast for about 6 years now and I received a Brooklyn Brew Shop kit as a Christmas gift. First batch has been sitting in bottles for about a week now and all through the process this forum has been a Keg of information. Very very helpful...
