Hello From NJ

Hello,

My name is Jay,I have been only brewing about 2 years and fell into the addiction that is homebrewing.
I started as many do, w/ a Mr. Beer kit that was given to me as a gag gift...Terrible Swill!! then a couple years later,bought a basic bucket and carboy brewing kit. I started brewing all extract on the stove,after about 7 batches on the stove and nearly melting my electric cooktop,I built an AG Rig and brew 10 gallons outside.I am completely obsessed with this lifestyle and loving every minute of it.

Brew til it hurts!
Jay

Hello Brewslut!

 

Hey there slut.  Welcome/   How's about some beer porn.  Love to see your AG setup.

Seriously, I've got most of the bits & pieces to go AG, just trying to figure out how I want to set them up.

 

Cheers slut!
