Hello gang,
I recently started brewing about 3 months ago. I started with a 1 gallon all grain beer kit from Brooklyn brew shop. After my first batch, I naturally wanted to brew more. They were out of my kit so I decided to pay a visit to my LHBS.
And so It started. I was a bartender for many years and had my share of beers, good and bad. Currently, I have 20 gallons fermenting and 5 gal of an IPA (not my best work) on tap. I think I have corrected my initial issues with mash temps, and am hitting all my numbers with stride.
Current set-up includes a turkey fryer kit (picked up for 40 bucks after Thanksgiving) burner and 7.5 gal al. kettle. I had a big cooler sitting around I used form my HLT and purchased a 10 gal Igloo for the mash tun.
My buddy had an old kegerator he wasn't using, including 2 gas tanks. Currently saving Grolsch bottles for some bottled gifts. :rocking:
Anyway, I have been lurking and learning here from day 1 so I wanted to say hello and thanks for the excellent forum.
