Hi to all.

[PetVet]

Greetings to everyone on the site. I just signed up and have been perusing about and really enjoy this site. I found a DIY MLT from Rubbermaid 10 gallon coolers and plan to set mine up tomorrow. I've been brewing off-and-on since 1994. I didn't really get serious about it until 3 years ago. I moved to Tulsa, Ok and found a great HB store called High Gravity. The people there were great and really helped me get equipped and piqued my interest in all-grain brewing. Since I was always an extract/specialty grain brewer, I was a little intimidated by all the mash tuns, sparges, lautering, etc., etc., so I never really persued it. Since moving back to Omaha and joining the Brew club at the German-American Society, I finally decided to go all-grain. My first all-grain batch is a Fuller's ESB clone. It's still in the secondary and will be kegged next week.
I guess I'm also a freak about cleanliness. I brewed some hideous batches of beer when I first started due to my inattentiveness to being clean. Since that time I feel attention to this has really increased the quality and consistency of my brew.
I really like to brew farmhouse ales and am working on a traditional biere de garde recipe. Off the topic, I also really enjoy building and flying radio-controlled planes.
So, that's me. Thanks to all that have helped me by their posts and don't know it.
Cheers!

Welcome to HBT!
Always glad to see another Nebraskan. It's been kind of a Nebraskan rush around here with 3 in one week. Unheard of!

Awesome. It seems to have followed me. I was on another site discussing Saisons and had a few from Omaha/Lincoln chime in as well. I hope the brew clubs can get together sometime and maybe pull off a HB contest like the Liquid Arts Festival. A fellow Brew member of mine entered it this last July and said it was great. A cider was the winner this year.
Great to hear from you.

Welcome!

I take it from your forum name that you are or work with a veterinarian? Cool! (Says the guy who lives with a giant golden retriever and five cats.)

Oh, yeah...I'm a vet. I really love what I am and do. I still need a release though and this and R/C planes are the best I know. I too, have Goldens but...3 and and fostering 1. The Dyson works overtime=

I sympathize with you re: the fur situation. I ripped all the carpet out of my house and put all wood in. I still have to vacuum with a shopvac.
But it's worth it, as you know.

I would probably win the Golden with the most hair award. My dog Katie is a fairly long haired dog with skin allergies and loses hair like crazy.

Welcome from another Omaha brewer.

Thank you to all who have made me feel welcome. I've been a bit busy these last few days so I haven't been able to visit until now. Cheers from the Goldens as well!
