Lord, There goes the neighborhood. :
Good evening everyone! Glad to see a lot of familiar names. Congrats on the daughter’s birthday, Ryan. We’ll have one of our own in February. Until then, I’m brewing as much as I can!

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.
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…
Yup, Woodlawn is still going strong. They built a new campus about 4 years ago or so south on Jefferson Highway just north of Antioch. There is a new middle school where the high school was. My step son goes to Woodlawn High and my step daughter goes to the Middle School. My wife is a Woodlawn graduate as well. She graduated in 81.

Joining up.
Some differences I see here… The Weaze has only 8 posts, and the Major can now ban you for pitching warm.

. 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

Amen, brother
gotta make the right entrance!
