New Illinois home brewer

[JohnnyBeers]

Hi guys, I'm new to home brewing like I literally just finished my first batch of American Pale Ale 20 mins ago! I have been a beer nerd for 8 years(since I could legally drink), been to more breweries than I can count anymore and just decided to take it further. I hope to learn a lot from you guys, share some experiences and hopefully some laughs!

Cheers!

Hello, and welcome to fantasy island. Used to be in Champaign/Urbana at the university, I miss that water. Didn't have to do a thing to it.
