Introduce Yourself
Hi,
I just started brewing last spring I have done 2 batches so far a Brewers Best english brown ale kit which was not to bad and Wit kit I modified for myself which was great I used key lime instead of orange peel. I happened to get into this by accident I went to a rummage sale and found a beginners equipment set complete minus Ingredients for 5 bucks .
I am in Indiana in a rural community where there arent many homebrewers so I generally search forums like tis for Ideas.
Cheers, Steve
I started with a Mr. Beer kit 8 years ago while a junior in college, moved to extract, then partial mash, then all-grain in about a year, haven't turned back.
I prefer brewing kolsch and lagers, and have perfected quite a few lager styles.
I'm from Ft. Collins, Colorado, a mecca for microbrewing.
Well, Hello! I am new to this site, new to brewing and really very excited about it all!
I was talking with a friend at work who has been making wine for several years...I have always loved really good beer and wine (nothing in aluminum nor with a twist cap)...but always thought such exacting alchemy was out of reach! Not so, I was to learn. My friend lent me his equipment and we fermented up a batch of Syrah...from a kit. My wife had shared a bottle of Yellow Tail with her mother and gave it rave reviews. So a month or so later, we sampled my first batch and my (our) eyes were opened! Suddenly I saw the possibilities!
I am also an amateur chef and love crafting menus with specific wines in mind...but the thought of reducing an entire bottle of merlot for a red sauce or creating a bisque with half a bottle of chard always gave me pause! Such wonderful wines should be shared with good company! Well now the barriers are lifted and the restraints are gone.
Several great entres later and the syrah is but a memory...we have sipped our way through nearly half a kit of chilean chard (gave away several bottles too), and I now have 6 gallons of Grand Junction, CO cabernet bulk aging along side a kit merlot steeped in the cabernet skins and another 5 gallons of zin on deck to see us through until the cab and merlot are ready next year!
I am excited in deed!
welcome to the board guys.

Hi,
I'm new here and I found you by searching for Home Brew.
I do not have any experience and I want to learn a few things.
I'm from the USA.
I don't really have a favorite brew, but when I went to the micro
brew tent at the Bonnaroo music festival in Manchester Tn, I did find
the darkest colors to be in my favorites. It had the same color as
Coca Cola. Very dark. My taste buds change regularly.
How do you do to all that brew, this is Army Chaplain Tony Sanders. I am deployed to Iraq, Baghdad. I should be back to our wonderful land in late November/early December 2006.
I have been without beer for a lomg, long time. I am wanting to get into home brewing upon returning to the US.
I am a Reformed Christian, we know that we do have the freedom to drink in monderation. Most all the Reformers and certinally Martin Luther dranked beer in moderation. Just did not want to confuse anyone, most denominations today don't allow for the freedom to drink, but most Presbyterians do, thank God.
I welcome your advise as a beginner brewer, blessings, Tony.
I am a homebrewer from the state of Louisiana. I have been brewing a while and I am mainly interested in Scottish Ales and Historic Beers. I am an archaeologist by trade and have become interested in Brewing Archaeology - a new field that I am founding!LOL!
Beer archeology - that sounds fascinating - keep us updated on what you find!
Is that like Indiana Jones with a beer in his hand? Where do you put the whip?

We are an ad hoc group of Zoologist at the University of Tasmania (Australia) who are brewing our own beer. Our goals are to have a good time and to learn about brewing in the process. Our 'guru' is a local fruit wine celebrity (and specialist in cave invertebrates) and he is teaching us a few things along the way.
Hello everyone, I am a newbie in here. And I have not tried brewing yet, and even try different taste of beer. The beer I've tasted is only our ordinary Beer brewed by the SMB (San Miguel Bees Company). Yeah I do love its taste. Though I am that often drinking a beer but I am interested to learn anything in brewing different taste of beer. Hope I can explore many things in here.

Hey All, I have been brewing for about 5 years now. I finally started brewing all-grain about a year ago and I haven't looked back since. I'm not knocking extract brewing, but for me, brewing all-grain seems to dramatically increase the quality of my beers. I have been going crazy with the Belgian-style lately. I just brewed a few non Belg style beers to change it up a bit. I currently have 3 batches in bottles carbonating and a Barley wine in the carboy that I just brewed up on Saturday. Cant wait till thats ready.
Cheers.
Hello!
I'm from Alaska, I've been brewing for 2 days, and I'm already hooked.
I stumbled on to this site because I looked up the word "Carboy" on google.
The first link I found was to Wikipedia, and there was a link there to BrewingKB there!
So far I appreciate the quick responses and the willingness to share the down and dirty with us newbies. So, from the bottom of my carboy, thanks!
By the way, I'm in Alaska. I cooled my first wort in the snow two days ago.
