I just found this forum and wanted to say Hi. I got into homebrewing about 5 or 6 years ago, and made about a batch per month for 2 years. Actually I guess I was making about 2 Mr. Beer batches a month for 3 or 4 months and then moved up to 5 gallon batches. About 3 years ago my daughter was born and about the same time I was starting a business so all my free time went out the window.
I just recently started up again. I am currently drinking my first batch which is a Pale Ale, pretty mild but not bad. I have a Newcastle Brown clone going in my primary now, and a british ale going in the secondary. So I guess I'm on my way.
I've never gotten into a lot of the specialty aspects or aerating the wort, running it through cooling coils, adding moss or gypsum, measuring pH, though I used to take the hydro readings. If I keep going I might start learning more about these areas to improve the beer even more.
