Hey all!
Green to the forum here, but have been poking my head around for a few days before registering. I've had limited exposure to home brewing, but in April completed my first malt extract brew in 6 years. It's just finishing up the bottling phase right now and am stoked to try it. Hopefully I can keep some around for aging
I've got a dry cider in the 2nd fermenter right now (see post)and have the kit ready to start 'Brewers Best' Irish Stout any day now. Hopefully it'll come out tasting like a Guinness wannabe.
Trying to break into mash/extract or AG brewing I read Charlie Papazian's New Complete Joy of Home Brwing cover to cover over the past week, but the threads on the DIY forum 'round here have really got my brain churning on fabricating a setup without breaking the bank (freakin' economy). My dad was a remodeler by profession with exposure to carpentry, electricial/plumbing work, etc. My brother-in-law works at a metal fabrication shop so hopefully I'll have enough networking closeby for some DIY project soon.
Love everything I've seen on this forum. Hope soon I can claim myself a supporting member.
