Newbie Checking in

Post by AlPal »

Hello to everyone!
I"ve been brewing a couple months now and evything has turned out well (what ive sampled so far).
First I got a Brewdemon LBC with the Evil Pilsner and it went really well. Now I also have the Mr. Beer LBK with the Canadian Blonde fermenting and just started the BD Deep Red Ale in the LBC last night.
I also have the Mr. Beer Irish Stout bottled and awaiting its fate. So far I've done everything straight up but found a book at the thrift shop by my house called Home Brew Beer for 50 cents! and I'm looking to start collecting the things I need to eventually get me up to partial then full mash brewing. Patience is the hardest part of this hobby!

Welcome, you are kind of right in that patience is the hardest part of this hobby. I find that the hardest part is not enough money for all of the brewing toys.

Welcome aboard. I have found that patience isn't so bad once the pipeline has been built up.
