Hello everybody, my name is Mike and i've been an amateur brewer for the past 6 months. I received the beginner buckets as a birthday gift and have been hooked since. I'm always looking to expand my knowledge and make some great brews.
So far here's what i've brewed:
Raspberry Wheat (this was my first and turned out about 9%)
Oktoberfest (brewers best kit)
Pilsner (kit from a local store; adventures in homebrewing)
Smoked Vanilla Pumpkin Porter (was excellent, will make again next year)
Peanut Butter Stout (very boozy, but is mellowing well in bottles)
Smash Ipa (maris otter / simcoe blend)
California common
Dry hopped pear cider
Cyser
At the moment I'm bottling still. A kegging system will be nice, but that'll come in time! I brew partial mash, but have been moving toward all grain. The california common is my first attempt at all grain.
I look forward to being an active member hear and learning what i can, where i can!
