How great is that? My first few batches were not so good, but lately they are much better. Plenty of brewers and breweries on LI. Call it Beer Island.
Welcome.

That's great!
The most important aspect of brewing is patience. The longer you let the yeast do there thing/drop out/and carb the better your product will be (within reason of course)

Where you from on the island, im in Huntington.
