Hey guys! Just successfully finished my first brew, a blonde ale to be exact! I'm lookin to start brewing with all grain from now on.
 
Welcome to the hobby and congratulations on your first beer! All grain really brings it up a notch and gives you some control over the process.
 
welcome, from a complete novice on the SW Side.

what part of the city?

and, so far, all my batches are 1 gallon, all grain. haven't been at it long enough to actually drink one yet.
