Hello from Brooklyn

[IanJ]

I've been reading these forums on and off for a few months and finally decided to register.

Like many, I have been a Mr. Beer user for a few years, and finally upgraded this into a real hobby, and got a bunch of equipment better equipment.

I just brewed my first batch of extract and partial mash last night, so I'm super excited to see how it turns out. Fermentation started within 6 hours, and it's going strong. OG was perfect, in the middle at .050 for this Nut Brown Ale from True Brew. Lets see how it turns out.

Anyhow, I hope to be around for a while, and learn as much as I can. Such a fun hobby with edible results. I enjoy cooking, so this fits right in... just not the easiest in a small NYC sized kitchen, or an apartment with no temperature regulation or closet space.

Thanks all. I'm in Park Slope "South", aka Gowanus.
