Greetings!

Post by pspearing »

Hello-
Some people may recognize my username from the Mr. Beer Forum. I've gained a lot of knowledge there, and helped a few people even less experienced than I (a frightening thought). I've made a few great beers with Mr. Beer (and other) products and I'm getting bolder with trying stuff on my own. Within the next few days I plan to make a batch using commercial LME and hops I grew, a definite first for me. If all goes well it will be a fairly average IPA, giving me a baseline for future adjustments.

Welcome here! Your tips from the old forum helped me get started. I still hope MrB gets that place sorted out, they still pull in new brewers and new brewers deserve good beer.

welcome to the forum, pspearing
"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."
