Hey, so i bought a simple beer kit from midwest a few months back thinking i'd dive into a new hobby... long story short and several hundred dollars into it here i am 
Been lurking around the forums pretty much since the beginning and have learned a ton from these forums. Anyway my first 3 batches have been extract and im now gathering the equipment slowly to move on to all grain and hope to be there soon just need a cooler to make into my MLT and i should be all set. Might need a bigger pot but that may be able to wait .
I also recently made some purchases off craigslist and local places to start my kegorator got a nice fridge that i tore apart a bit to be able to fit 2 corny kegs and have 2 empty corny's sitting in there with my 5lb co2 tank just waiting for some beer to go in them
Anyway just though i've been lurking and have gotten so much help already i figured i should come by and introduce myself. Im Sean and im a NYC apt homebrewer
I type this all as im brewing my latest batch a newcastle clone.
Here's a pic of my brew partner ( the wifey's the one who actually took the picture) she watches the pot and stuff while its boiling if i need to step away for a second
Just a side note, my first two batches were on a stove in a 5g pot and had no reason to worry about a boil over and didnt think they happen as easily or as often as people have said, but then i purchased this turkey fryer and 7.5g pot and decided to use it today and as soon as i got a boil started and added the hops the foam jumped straight to the top i had to turn the propane off real fast and just barely avoided a boil over lol *phew*
