I've been lurking here for a long time, went on hiatus for a bit while my wife and I moved into a new home and now have finally settled down.
I ultimately want to move to all-grain brewing, but decided I didn't want to wait until I got everything together before I started. So, I bought a 5 gal Nut Brown Ale Extract Kit from my LHBS. It was fun, and I can't wait until I get up to All-Grain status.
I had my first blow-off also as it began aggressively fermenting, but because of the reading I had done on here, I didn't freak out about it, just contained the mess and swapped out my fermentation lock for a clean one after it calmed down a little bit.
I very fortunately found a guy who was selling 5 ball-lock corny kegs on Craigslist a while back at a great price (5 for $50.00), so I will be cleaning one up and replacing the seals in preparation for that sweet brown nectar!
Sooooo, the question then becomes...Keezer or brew sculpture first? LOL
