Hi from a Connecticutioner

[Matthoc116]

Hi all,

Long time drinker, first time brewer. My first extract batch is 4 days the primary, and so far I think it's still on it's way to becoming beer... Love the forums, they've been a huge help. Look forward to learning from everyone here.

As a former "Connecticutioner", I'll do the same. Welcome. What did you brew?

Found and followed a recipe for an extract summer ale. Not sure how it will turn out, but I'm treating it as a learning experience first, and a taste experience second. Realized a little too late that my kitchen equipment wasn't the best for brewing, but a 60 qt stockpot is now in transit (one batch was enough to get me hooked and start buying stuff), so hopefully I won't have to relive my first boilover incident again....

As an aside, "Connecticutioner" is the result of a lengthy debate I had with my friend over what we from the Nutmeg State should be referred to as...I'm hoping it the term takes
