My name is Scott and I have lurked on HomeBrewTalk for 2 years...
I'm not proud of the lurker status, I've been a selfish homebrewtalk-lover and I'm ready to change for you HomeBrewTalk.com, I'm ready to change.
Started brewing in Oct. 2012 and have visited this site pretty religiously ever since then. I've absorbed so much from the helpful members on this forum that I decided I should help spread the knowledge too. I already feel like I'm on a username-basis with the regulars on here despite never having direct contact with any of them...
My dad was a brewer for about 10 years (I'm not sure why he doesn't still brew) starting 20+ years ago, and remarks on how different it used to be brewing back then. Zymurgy was the only source of brewing information outside of your own experience. I was able to gather a lot of his 10 years of experience in about 3 months with this crazy internet thing that the kids are wild about these days.
I am an engineer by trade (RF, Electrical, and now Software) and am a big fan throwing inordinate amounts of time figuring out how or why things work. Naturally, home brewing lends itself nicely to this.
Start out in extract brewing and bottling, then jumped right into all-grain on a 5 gal setup and a 3-tap kegerator.
Thanks for this great community and resource!
