Hello All!

Post by sgtpeppr56 »

Hey Borg,

Like dozens before me, I was a faithful MB guy who took a 6 month break from the site. I went back last night to see whats changed and didn't recognize much. I will read up and see what has happened, but I am glad to be here.

While I was not a daily contributor, I did read the MB forums daily often and enjoyed the comradery and collaboration. I brew as time allows with 2 kids under 2, which means I read for a bit then lose track of this for a bit. I would say that I am more of a beer drinker, then beer brewer. I am about 10 extract brews in and might look toward the NB one gallon kits here soon.

Thanks for all you guys do for us newbies and creating a great forum for homebrewers of any level.

T-minus 55 minutes until beer time. Thanks and brew on!

Good to see ya, Sarge!

Don't be a stranger, now. I understand how rough it can be with two crumb-crunchers underfoot, but just make it a point to pop in now and then with your two cents.

Welcome. I have two kids also, although a bit older, 7 and 10. I dont know if it's wrong , but I got them involved in making some beer. It was more like a science experiment explaining how the process works. Just had to explain they aren't alowed to have any untill they are 30!
