Hello everyone, I'm finally getting around to introducing myself! So far everyone here seems great and extremely helpful. Lots of great info and all the experienced brewers are already proving to be an awesome resource. So far with help and recipes from here I made a mead and it's bottled...

Well I greatly appreciate all the help guys and apologize for being a helpless noob. This weekend I'm going to make a nice chocolate or milk stout and I learned from my mistakes, this time everything will be closely monitored and recorded! Thanks again.
