Allow myself to introduce....myself

[BOSTONBRUin4]

Hi all. My real love is fishing, but with a 6 month old, I am having trouble getting out as much as I used to. Figured it would be a good idea to pick up a hobby or two that I can do at home. Got a batch of Oktoberfest brewing but think I boofed it already on the initial fermenting temp. Anyways I hope to contribute more to this site in the future. Cheers

Ahhhh, another fellow Masshole brewer...

Welcome to the obsession... You starting off extract (or extract with specialty grains) or you diving head first into all grain from the start?? :rockin:

Extract with specialty grains. Picked up kit from Beer Making supply store in Woburn. It had 5 or 6 bags of grains and one can of liquid.

Welcome!

My first love is fishing too, but what to do in winter time? Ice fishing, not so much. I airbrush paint fishing lures and brew beer to keep me busy till spring.

It won't be long and that 6 month old will be older and pulling in their first walleye or trophy bluegill. Just gotta glue a fishing pole into their hands

Next time check out Strange Brew in Marlboro (416 Boston Post Road). MUCH larger store and selection plus better prices from what I've seen.

I've been know to cast a line from time to time too. Much more fun when you have someone with you. Otherwise I take my big Canon and do nature photography.

Welcome!

I wish I had more time to fish, but then there are TONS of things I wish I had time (and money) for.

What else is there to do in MN in the winter if you aren't dipping your diddle in a hole?

OK, so I never actually did this. I've been on this board for about a year now and only recently started posting so I figured I'd introduce myself a bit.

I live in Manchester, NH.
I started off with extract which I did for 2 brews before stepping up to partial mash where I stayed for about 6 brews or so.

Now I do AG. I've got my 10 Gal. cooler MLT and 8 Gal SS Kettle. There's so much more I want to do, but I know that never changes. I love this hobby/obsession.

This forum is awesome!

Well, not much apparently. I used to count on watching my Vikings beat the Lions twice a year. Now I can't even count on that. We STINK!!

Maybe if I dragged a full corny keg out onto the ice, that might make it a tad more fun. But not much.

I like the Austin Powers reference in thread title too.
