Hi from Wisconsin...

[Brew_Mistress]

Hello Everyone! My husband and I have recently started home brewing. We both have long talked about it, read about it, and after we said "Lets just DO it" we went out to a local home brewing store and got a kit, and that night we both were hooked!! So far weve only made 2 batches. An English Brown Ale (since New Castle is a favorite here) and we have a Scotch Ale in the secondary as I type this. We both really want to try to make a Guinness clone.... I am hoping this site will give us the extra help that does not always come in a book!

Welcome to HBT! Congrats on your first two batches. Check out the Recipes section for the Guiness clone you seek, or visit one of the great online retailers (Austin Homebrew, Midwest Supplies, Northern Brewer, etc.) for a kit (if that's more up your alley).

This is a great place for for finding any information on this great hobby. I would say it has the feeling of a bar in Wisconsin. Ask any question you like and you will get an answer that will normally suit your needs. There is a lot of info here and a quick search might yield even more answers then you are looking for. By the way Glad to have another couple Wisconsin brewers on board!

Did you go to Hop To It inside DP Wiggley? That's where I go. Mark, the owner is a great guy and an avid brewer himself.
