New guy on board

Post by napsternova »

Hello all,
I am a complete newcomer to home brewing. My first batch is fermenting right now and I can't wait to taste it. I live outside of Chicago where there isn't a shortage of micro breweries so I figured I would give it a shot. I'm already looking at making another batch. This one I want to taste like a Bluemoon with the orange already added. Not sweet but tasty. Anyway, howdy folks!
