Hey guys!
Long time reader, first time poster.
I've been brewing since February. I have done a few batches in extract form and have totally fallen in some sort of weird love with brewing. I started with just a stock pot, Charlie Papazian's Complete Joy and a little bit of hopes and dreams.
Fast forward to now, I'm 5 batches in and each one keeps turning out better than the last (not to toot my own horn or anything...). I've even had to hide them from my friends! I just picked up an all grain setup from Craigslist that included everything from a huge kettle, Cornies, a freezer, temperature control, 5 more carboys, a grain mill, O2 system, MLT, and enough bottle for a years worth of brewing among other things. Needless to say, I'm really excited for my next brews!
Anyone here in the Springfield/Jacksonville area of IL?
Thanks for the great website all!
Prost!
