I justed wanted to say hello and say that I am new to the forum and have been brewing for @ 1 year and 6 mos. now. Started with Mr. Beer and have moved into extract and partial mash , no all grain yet and have three 5 gallon fermentors and secondaries. I have six , five gallon batches under my belt with the majority of last year using the Mr.B kits.
Anyway hope to use this as a resource to improve and grow my brewing skills.
Thank you to all for a nice welcome … I have 3 more batches to brew before I take the summer off ( hard to keep temp even in the basement ) plus its a nice break and the pipeline is still pretty full.
I will be brewing a Peanut Ale ( a kit from my LHBS ) , a Sam Smith Taddy Porter clone and a Moose Drool clone.
Overall it was a good expierence. Everything came out pretty good and some of it very good . I have zero complaints on the Mr Beer expierence. It is a great way to see if you are really into the hobbie and it served as a great springboard into the 5 gal realm and beyond.
