Newby from Portland OR

[rleap]

Howdy All. My name is Robert, I live in beautiful Portland Oregon (craft beer capital of the work IMHO). I have been married for 10 years and have 4 wonderful children. I currently work at a local credit union here in Portland as a software developer. I just recently joined the homebrewtalk forum and am looking forward to reading about everyone's brewing experiences and gleaning as much information about brewing as I can.

I recently dived into brewing by taking a beer making class here in Portland and now I'm hooked. This will definitely be my new hobby. I haven't purchased any equipment yet or brewed a batch of beer yet, but I plan on doing it soon, just need to make a little space in my garage first. For my first brew, I plan on making an IPA. I would love to make a Deschutes Twilight Ale clone, however I just need to know the specific weights and measurements. Deschutes lists the ingredients on their website, but they intentionally leave off the weights, temps and times. Any help in figuring out the specs would be much appreciated.

Any way I'm glad to be here and look forward to learning more about brewing beer.

It's addictive! Dive right in. I waited a long time to buy equipment and I so regret it. All the beer I could have made in the past few years!!
