It's Me!

[BackBayBrewing]

Hello all, I have been brewing for about a year and a half and love it! Even though I am pretty new to home brewing, I definitely have the bug. I have brewed about 15 batches probably (all extract). I really want to move on to partial mash and all grain recipes, but have yet to do so because I have a pretty weak stove that has trouble boiling more than 2-3 gallons of water. I also built a kegerator using a chest freezer and keg all my home brews.

I live in Boston's Back Bay, a few blocks from Fenway Park. Maybe I'll see some of you around Boston Beer Works some time.

You should try steeping with specialty grains along with your extract. It adds a bit of character to the beer.

Welcome, there is some really good advice here.

Histo, I actually have done quite a few batches with specialty grains. I should have been a little more clear about that. I just haven't done any type of mashing because I have trouble boiling the water needed for it.

Brewguy: thanks for the link. I haven't read that so it could be a great help. Thanks

To all that are planning on being at the phish show... maybe I'll see you there. Good luck with the lottery.
