Hello from Braintree, MA! I'm a former extract kit brewer and a current home BBQ Pit Master who has decided to get back into brewing. I brewed around 10 batches 10-12 years ago but got away from it for some ungodly reason (coaching baseball and soccer 7 days a week and my wife did not like the smell)...but I'm back!
I want to jump to all-grain quickly, have already started putting a cooler mash tun together based on tips from this site, but figure will start with a few extract with specialty grains first to get the feel for it again. I am just waiting on ingredients from Northern Brewer to get my first batch going.
That first batch is going to be the Dead Guy Ale clone from Beer Captured which somebody (sorry, don't have your name to give you props) posted on this site.
As for the wife, well she is still around, so I will be brewing outside on my turkey fryer.
