Greetings from northern Colorado.  Love the new look of the AHA web site.  Just had to sign up for the forum.  Looking forward to learning and sharing stories about homebrewing.  I’m an extract homebrewer at the moment and studying up on all-grain.  Hope to try an all-grain batch soon after I get a few more extract batches under my belt.

and it begins…

Glad to see some familiar faces…

Denny, love what you’ve done with the place…  ;D

Hello All,

I have been on the BN for about a year and a half, and lurk in all the other usual forums.  Haven’t been as active as I would like due to a number of things, but want to get back into it.  I hope to get back to brewing more regularly in the next few weeks.  Hope to share lots of good info, horror stories, and fun in the future!

Hello to everyone.  This looks to be the place to hang. 8)

Finally, there is an AHA forum I know how to use. I never could figure out or really take the time and patience to participate in the old email message board.

Anyway, a bit about me. I am Steve and I live in South Louisiana right outside Baton Rouge toward New Orleans. My regular job is as a Paramedic with the City of Baton Rouge. I have been a  medic for right at 30 years. I am married with 3 kids still at home.

Brewing wise I brew all grain and started out brewing that way. I bought a keggerator from a dude on Craigslist and he threw in all of his beer equipment hence how I got into brewing beer all grain. I had brewed one extract batch with a buddy prior. I have worked my way from the coolers to a commercial sculpture system.

I actually started out as a winemaker and still make wine. I am a moderator for a large winemaking forum and an Administrator for another. I am a member of a few beer forums but this is the forum I have been waiting for. I don’t know how many times I wrote AHA requesting it. If the info here is as good as the email list, it is gonna be a leader. I am a forum freak and look forward to learning, sharing, and helping this forum grow.

I’m betting the exodus is underway.  I just got here, but this is looking very comfortable and already feels like home.  Thanks Denny and anyone else that made this happen.  It’s cool to be on a board run by brewers rather than vendors.  I especially appreciate the effort to have an off topic section that isn’t packed full of political BS.  This is shaping up to be one hell of a gathering of brewers and I’m really looking forward to it

Hey Steve,  I look forward to sharing ideas with you as well!!

Side note:  I was a Purple Panther in 1969.  Is Woodlawn still going strong?  My Dad took a sabbatical & worked on his PHD@ LSU then…
