Thanks for the warm welcome, folks. I'm looking forward to meeting some of the local brewers on the 7th when I pick up my grain.
Just a little bit about me:
I've been brewing for 1 year and 16 days as of today. I have a small group of friends that I suckered into brewing with me, who have all been bit by the bug as hard as I have been. We've managed to brew almost 60 batches between the four of us over the last year!
We started with a 7 gallon aluminum pot and a turkey cooker burner to make our first batch, a partial-mash IPA. My second batch was all-grain (I converted a cooler into a mash tun). Since then I have been steadily building up my system to all Sanke (HLT, MLT, BK) with a Therminator chiller and a March 809 pump. All components are either stainless, copper, or silicone.
With that much brewing, bottling became a huge chore, so I invested in a kegging system. The other 3 guys were quick to follow. A keezer build was inevitable and I finished the 7 cu. ft. keezer build a few days before our 1 year anniversary!
It's been a busy year, but one of the most enjoyable of my life (as far as hobbies/obsessions go, that is.)!!

Welcome to HBT! Sounds like your progression from hobby to unbridled obsession is well underway. See you on the 7th.
