Just my 2 cents.........I started with mr beer as most of you.....to get a start on the process. It was a fairly cheap way to get the basics, force me to read more, learn more, do more, get more confidence. All the while I hoped to ratchet up to AG. For me it's a slower process for other reasons (space, time, life) but I'm committed to moving on and USING most of you, esp beer-lord, for advice etc.
I haven't posted a lot on the old forum, may not be a prolific poster here as I mostly lurk and learn but I am VERY thankful for this forum and the use of great experience here.
I haven't had the best of luck with Mr beer as I've had several spigot disasters, one of which customer service handled nicely but I get nervous using the lbk's now, wondering IF it will happen again with the new 'new' spigots so I'm moving up to the next phase. With beer-lord's help we will taste my first AG batch wed night (a Bell's 2 hearted ale clone) and I'm hoping it will get me invigorated to do another very soon. In fact, I'm sure of it.
Here's to a cold one to each of you and thanks in advance for all the help you're going to give me
