I want to say hey, from southern Colorado. New to the forum but not new to home-brewing. Used to brew many years ago. Starting and raising a family got in the way a bit for a while there (15 years), but I am getting back into the hobby with a ton more money to spend than what I had 15 years ago. Anyway I am lurking and learning as the overall process hasn't changed but there sure are a lot of interesting new developments that I am learning about that have transpired over the last 15 years.
When I brewed before I brewed extract with specialty grains and kegged everything. I sold all of my equipment of course so I am slowly trying to put together a HERMS all grain system to learn the all grain process on. I am working on getting it all dialed in so that it is completely controlled and powered by natural gas. In the meantime I plan to go ahead to do some extract batches until it is all working properly.
The whole goal is to move up to large batches so that my buddies and I will have plenty of beer to drink between batches. From what I remember in college when I would brew a 5 gallon batch all my buddies would show up like it was a keg party and float it on day one, so I need a batch size that will allow the kegs to hang around for a while.
Anyway I really look forward to getting to learn from all of you.
