I would like to introduce my self. My name is Steve and I have been homebrewing for about 6 years now. Started out with a Munton's Pilsner kit that was given to me by a family member that he had for around 3 years. I liked the taste of it and then found a homebrew store in my area. He got me started with a starter kit and hooked me up with an easy extract recipe he had available.
I brewed a couple of these then found the Cat's Meow and tried a couple of those recipes. I had also read Palmer's book "How to brew" and got interested in creating my own recipes. I tried a couple using just the information available in the book, but found that I wanted more. Finally found BeerSmith on the web, downloaded it and tried it out. After a two good recipes and brews, I purchased it and have since been creating my own recipes for my brews.
My favorites are an Amber Ale and american Pale Ale that I have created, but I continue to try new recipes. After about 6 brews, I started shifting to all grain, even built a 28qt rectagular mash tun out of a cooler. It is small for larger brews, but adequate for what I have been making until now.
Currently I am in the process of building a sculpture and am really looking forward to getting to use it for the first time.
