Welcome to the forums! I'm mostly a lurker as well. It's a wealth of info, plus it's full of great people. :)

Welcome to the forums! Been to Scotland once, hope to do it again someday... Truly beautiful country! One of the reasons I got into brewing was because of some of the tasty beers I had on that trip...

Welcome to the forums! Seems there's quite a few people doing small batch brews (I stick to 2.5 gallons and smaller). Watch out for equipment creep... it seems to accumulate rather quickly... :)

I'm relatively new too, but welcome to the forums! You're in a great location for craft brewing.. I just got back from a trip down there but didn't have much time to visit many places. I did hit up Ballast Point, and White Labs. When you get a little deeper in the hobby, I'd definitely...

Welcome to the forums!!!

I went a little crazy on stocking up on different kinds of sugar after reading Experimental Brewing... I think I have a pound each of palm, piloncillo, Lyles, jaggery, & turbinado. Not sure if and when I'm gonna use them, but at some point I will! :ban:

I'm a pretty new brewer too. I started with small-batch all grain, but I think probably the most important thing I've learned so far is... .... ....... To have some patience. :-)

I've reloaded Fallout 3 on my system... I have a pretty good list of things to do today, but I'm pretty sure most of them aren't going to get done. :-)

I'm relatively new to brewing, but I found that I HAD to wait two weeks after bottling my first brew for it to calm down enough. I opened one after 7 days and it was a slow but steady foam geyser (albeit... a tasty one). At 14 days the carbonation was perfect though. My second batch was the...

I have fond memories from my childhood picking huckleberries up in Idaho while visiting family! Should be an interesting cider :)

Welcome from Rancho Cucamonga! The Riverside store is great (if not well hidden)! :mug:

I'm on my forth batch this next week... Don't have rituals per se (yet) other than to make the kitchen lickable clean. I do find that putting Dire Straits on the stereo keeps me mellow though! :-D

In no order... subject to change...still lots of beers I have on my "want to try" list! Firestone Walker Pale31 Stone Levitation Bass Ale Bear Republic Racer 5 Franziskaner Hefe-Weissbier Dunkel

I've already been out to MoreBeer in Riverside (that's a bad place for me to go!) :D There's another shop that just opened out that way called Brew Toys which is off the 91 (right next to Wicks Brewing Company). Haven't been there yet, and it looks like they've just opened. I'm actually...

I just started home-brewing within the last few weeks. Bottled up my first batch this weekend (Everyday IPA). :) I was introduced to home-brewing by a friend a few years ago, and I finally took the leap. My first two beers were all grain 1 gallon kits. One from Midwest, the other from...
