Getting back into homebrewing after 10+ years off. I got lazy, my HB buddies moved away and there were so many good beers available to drink I got my variety 'fix' from the beer stores.

At least I sat on my equipment and did not get rid of it. Time to dust it off and start brewing again (could HBing be the PERFECT wintertime hobby?)

Now my goals are to reproduce some of my favorite beers, and some of the harder to find ones - starting with extract brewing and maybe going all-grain. I have a basement with plenty of room for science experiments :p

My favorites at the moment:

Founders Breakfast Stout
Old Rasputin Imperial Stout
Edmund Fitzgerald Porter
Two Hearted Ale IPA
The Reverend (Quad)
Three Philosophers (Quad)
Weihenstephaner Hefeweissbier
Lagunitas Maximus Imperial IPA
Fullers ESB (harder to find these days, but I have a soft spot for this one)
 
You came to the right place to get good info on your favorite brews & more! Search the recipe listings to see what others have come up with.
 
Ex-Vinton County here... Also never heard of Auglaize :)

Welcome to the forum!

A lot of "standard practices" and "conventional wisdom" have evolved in the last 10+ years. Have fun trying to catch up with the new info!

Spoilers:
Aluminum vs stainless
Secondary vs primary only
Brew in a Bag (BIAB)
No-chill
60 minute mash
Late extract addition
No-rinse sanitizers (Star San, Iodophor, etc)
Glass carboy vs bucket vs better bottle.
Autosiphon
Temperature control (yes, please!)
Dry yeast vs liquid
Yeast Starters
Yeast rinsing/washing



Must be something I've left out.
