There are a ton of Michigan folks around here. Some even live below the bridge like you.
Welcome, Troll!
Seriously, there are some great homebrew clubs and brewers all over Michigan, and being a part of a brewday is great fun and informative too! Look around the forum and let us know if you have any questions or need any help.
I have started building a keezer I am gathering the equipment now. I am waiting for the Freezer to get here then I have to either make a controller or buy one.
