Another homebrewer back from the lost!

[FHDave]

As a number of other posters have said, I'm also back from the lost!

I homebrewed for about 4 years back in the 90s, then stopped when my kids got older and I became busy with their lives. I finally found/made the time to get back to homebrewing this fall. I had saved a lot of my equipment and was able to resuse a lot of it (great thing about glass carboys, they don't rot).

I am an extract brewer and have already bottled and started drinking an Irish Red Ale and a Nut Brown Ale. I have a Bass clone in bottles carbonating and a Chocolate Oatmeal Stout in the secondary. I also started a batch of hard cider yesterday, so I've definitely jumped right back in to this wonderful activity.

I look forward to many conversations with my fellow homebrewers around the world.

Welcome back! Things have changed since the 90s, mainly the access to awesome information and collaboration via the internet and forums like HBT.

I too brewed beer in the 90s, then started again a couple of years ago. The difference in my beers then and now is amazing. I attribute much of the difference to the helpful people of this forum. Good luck!

I just got back into brewing after a 10 year kids, house, life, etc... I did it though my 20s (90s), stopped in my 30s and now that I'm 40 back at it. I did a couple did year with extract and decided to go all grain and will never go back... it's a little bit more of a process but think it's way more fun ha... Also, convinced the wife to put in a kegertaor, added one tap then but now up to 4. Glad I stumbled onto this site the people are great and there is almost too much info on here ha...

I made wine since the 70's & pop even brewed some beer we enjoyed. A bit strong for a stout though. then by age 30 life & kids needed my attentions. Then a few years ago we decided to try brewing beer. I'm up to partial mash now & it's def getting interesting around here. I'm sure you'll get to like hangin around HBT!
