Greetings, Borg!

Post by snooze_button »

Greetings, BeerBorg! Glad I found you guys. I used to lurk on Ye Olde Site; I didn't chime in much but I learned TONS by reading about your exploits. In the past three years I've moved from straight-up Mr. Beer kits in the LBK, to extract & grain kits from the local homebrew stores, to BIAB recipes. I've got a little over two dozen batches under my belt; some excellent, some barely drinkable...but it's all been beer, and it's been progress. And I would have given up long ago if I hadn't read so many tips on the forums.

Tonight is a long-overdue Brew Night, and I'm going old-school with the Mr. Beer St. Patrick's Irish Stout. With some Carapils and dark DME added, because I can't leave well enough alone. Should be ready in time for the all-important March 17th.

Anyhow, I wanted to say "hello" to you all, along with a belated "thank you" for all of the wisdom of the Borg Collective in the past....looking forward to reading more here!

Welcome to the forum, Snooze
"Filled with mingled cream and amber
I will drain that glass again.
Such hilarious visions clamber
Through the chambers of my brain
-- Quaintest thoughts -- Queerest fancies
Come to life and fade away;
Who cares how time advances?
I am drinking ale today."
