Introduce Yourself
I have been brewing for a little over 20 years, started with our one and only homebrew shop in town and still get my supplies there. I brewed extract for most of that time, never had the equipment or motivation to finally get into all grain but have been doing all grain now for about the last 5 years.
My favorite style of beers is mostly big beers, German styles, eisbock, bock, doppelbock, and in the summer or warmer weather, Marzen/Oktoberfest, IPA, Imperial IPA, scotch ale.
I'm from the Reno area, when I first started brewing there were no brewpubs here at all, we now have 3 with another being built now, at least it's getting better.
I've been brewing for about six years, doing all grain for the past three. I'm a BJCP judge, and I'd encourage everyone that can to take the course and the test. it will make you a better brewer.
I'm a Belgian guy, although I don't get to brew as many as I would like. I'm not a big hophead, but a well done IPA can be phenomenal.
I reside in a suburb of St. Paul, MN...
Another St. Paulite! That's great! I know Aspen is around here as am I.
I've been brewing for about 3 years. Worked my way up to
all grain form extract. Just recently took the BJCP test. What
a great class. I also would encourage everyone to take the
class.
My favorite stlyes are the Engish pale ales mild to the ESB's.
Scottish ales and German Lagers. But what I found out in the
BJCP classes from Bud Light to Big Foot I enjoy them all!!
I reside in the St. Paul area.
Hi my name is Chip
I have been brewing since 1985. I started in college at the University of Florida GO GATORS! 
At that time I was brewing modified extract kits, and bottling in recycled longneck bottles. When I graduated, I left most of my larger brewing equipment (carboys. boil kettle, cases of empty bottles, etc) with a fraternity brother, and moved back to South Florida.
In the years after moving back, I got married, started a business, had a couple of great kids, and kept thinking about brewing again someday. Last year for Fathers Day, My Lovely wife bought me a kegerator, and I decided that this was the time make the move back into brewing, but this time with kegs. I looked aroud on the web, and found several good homebrewing sites, and also discovered that we had a local home brewing club in our area. The club is called the Fort Lauderdale Area Brewers FLAB

They were very helpful in getting me back into brewing. I bought some new equipment on Ebay, and decided that I would start out with simple extract recipies , and work my way up to all grain. I have had the oportunity to do all grain brewing with my club, including a double decoction, but in my own brewing I am just up to partial mash.
I am very pleased with home kegging, and have converted my kegerater from single to tripple tap, I now have on tap my own Accidental Barley Wine, Sam Addams, and Foster's Lagger.
Great to find this new site.
Hello,
I've been brewing for 8 years (if you count Mr. Beer), otherwise I've been pretty serious in the last 4 years when I started 5 gallon brews. I stepped up to All-Grain brewing in February 2005, and I'm totally hooked!
My favorite beer style currently is American Pale Ale, but it changes with the season. My favorite beer is the next one that I haven't tried yet
I'm originally from Texas, but I've moved around a bit due to the Army, and currently I reside in Auburn, Alabama.
Hi everyone, I started brewing on 07/14/2006. Yeah, I know... "newbie" but, I'm a avid reader! and most of my family has been brewing for quite some time. I live in the heartland of American hops and have made my living (25 years of it.) working the wonderful green vine into packaged orders for breweries. Raw hops to exotic extracts. I know what your thinking.... 25 years in the hops and just started brewing? Well, all these years I thought I didn't like beer..... Turns out, I just don't like the "crud lights" in the stores. There's more to beer than just over carbonated, under flavored American lagers! Give me a beer I can sink my teeth into! Some day I'll build a Dopplebock I can chew!
Because I have just begun, I'm still collecting equipment but, I have a corny, and 30lb Co2 bottle, all glass primary 6.5 gallon and secondary 5 gallon. So I'm only doing 1 batch at a time. Thats gotta change!
Hello board.
Total newb to brewing here, don't even have the first batch in yet, started doing research on home brewing just a couple days ago.
I think I'm hooked and haven't even brewed a batch yet.
My father in law and a buddy talked me into it, I'll be using their equipment for the first batch,then buying my own if I like it, I'm sure I will, if reading about has me so fired up, I'm sure brewing is going to ruin me for life.lol
Thanks for taking the time to read my post.

Hi
I have been home brewing for 6 years now and been profiled in the Oct. 2006 edition of Brew Your Own Magazine.
My brewery is small Two 20L pails and three carboys (but growing each year)
I call it Crooked Rooster Brewing.
I am located in Dartmouth Nova Scotia Canada
I always seem to have a brew on. I am now brewing for the Christmas Season.
Right now I have a "Crooked Rooster" Wheat Beer on, getting ready to bottle in two weeks
It will be aged just right for Christmas.
I will also be brewing a batch of "Ducke's" Bottled Draft for Xmas as well.
and if I get time after I do some wine for the Ladies
I would like to do a batch of "Ducke's Own" Red Ale a seasonal favorite with Family and Freinds.

Hello, I have been homebrewing for about 4 years and I am involved with a really great brew club. We are the Wayne County Brew Club, located in Northeast Ohio. Our club has evolved tremendously since our first meeting. Our goal is to brew 100 gal of beer during one of our club brew days. We have come close. Most of us are all grain brewers, but a few still use extract. We have a great time at our meetings and during our big brew days. We also have come a long way with our equiptment and our methods. I am looking forward to sharing information about our club and our experiences. Thanks Eipper
