Welcome Brewing Gal.

Glad to see another brew sister join this happy band of brothers. There are a lot of small batch brewers here so you'll get any help you need.
Did you do an RCE on the old site? Registration is currently under way for a new Recipe Collaboration Exchange which is a great way to get away from HMEs and get more control of your small batch brewing.
Hope you are able to find time to join in on the many wonderful and entertaining discussions that make this forum so great.

Welcome Brewing Gal! Glad you were able to find us over here!!

Welcome, brewing gal! As a newbie myself,I can tell you this is a place to get advice, or assistance for brewing.

It's easy to convert from "old MrB" HME's to BrewDemon.......they are made by the same place in New Zealand, same recipes:

Here's the BD HME pages:

Kits: http://www.brewdemon.com/refills

Individual: http://www.brewdemon.com/refills/individual-ingredients

American Prophecy = West Coast Pale Ale AND High Country Canadian (confirmed by Sam at BrewDemon)
Cult Classic = Classic American Blonde
Dante's Delight = Whispering Wheat
Hellfire Red Ale = Bewitched Red Ale
Ye Old Nutbrown Ale = Englishman's NBA
Sinful Swill VL = Octoberfest Vienna Lager
Twisted Monk = Witty Monk
Wild Spirit IPA = American Devil IPA
Shedu O S = Sticky Wicket Oatmeal Stout
One Evil Pilsner = Pilothouse Pilsner

from the semi lurker, perpetual noob.

I apologize for my ravings about how lame MR Beer is. I don't how often I will be posting. Baby keeps busy

Thanks for the post at mr. Beer, that got me here as well. I'm glad to find this site, was wondering where y'all were at.

I'm in the same boat with having young kids (not to mention a job that keeps me busy). I'd rather spend time with them than be on the internet, but when I do get time, I liked to check out mr. Beer community. I think I found my new hangout. I don't post a whole lot and go weeks without checking the site, but love that the site is doing well.

You all helped me so much in the past.

all y'all just feel free to pop in any time it strikes your fancy

Anyways I am done with Mr Beer. I found the Borg only because of the hidden links. I was a software developer. For the time being I want to stay with the small batches. So what do you guys recommend?

Posting under BrauGal (very clever - Brewing Gal / Brau Gal - never would have guessed) on the Mr. Beer forum and saying "just shows ya nobody wants this carp MR BEER SUCKS GO BORG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" on Monday evening AFTER you apologized on this forum for doing it isn't my idea of proper use of a forum, whether Mr. Beer's or anyone else's. You've got people all riled up over there, and people from this forum going over there to quiet things down, because you posted "Mr. Beer sucks" all over the forum at the beginning of the month. Pretty childish behavior for someone that's a parent, hopefully you can set a better example for you child in the future.

Perhaps you should apologize over there.

I agree with RickBeer.

+1... I'm all for new posters on either site, and welcome to you if you are truly wanting to contribute here or there... glad to have you if so. But based on what's been posted thus far, I don't see it very useful or productive to post 16 posts over there with the sole purpose of slamming the product sold at that site. That seems rather trollish to me, and I can't see how one would be surprised when those posts are deleted/purged...

DOH

Those of us that don't visit the other site might be a tad bit confused and concerned by the direction this thread is taking.

Should this message not have been better hashed out in the form of PMs so as not to generate negativity for others who come along or those who eagerly welcome any new brewer in the spirit we typically present here?
