Found you guys through a search engine.
I am an old brewer just returning after a long hiatus.
I brewed my first in about 1973. With no information and it being somewhat illegal, it did not not turn out well. It did not go to waste however as one of my friends thought it was good. I still shudder when I recall how I made that batch.
Well, It took a few more years and I tried again using an extract kit from England. I was hooked and made many batches.
For whatever reason and life and and work I wasn't able to brew consistently so I gave it up.
Recently a friend of mine introduced me to home wine making. I was so impressed by the results that I began to think about brewing beer again.
I'm in the process of re-equipping as I gave most of my stuff away years ago.
I guess you'll be seeing me hanging around and asking lots of questions.
