Just joined brewing for a year

Post by Wlawler12 »

So after brewing for a year and being friends with Fedora Dave I figured why not join the almighty :borg:

I'm Will, go by the name of Will's Swill to friends and family that have partaken in some of my homebrew. A friend of mine got me interested back in November '13 and bought all I needed for my first batch after Christmas the same year. Here I am over a year later with 8 batches under my belt. A mix of Brewers best kits for the starters and some beers I've come up with on my own. All in all its a great dare I say "hobby".

Well that's me in a nut shell. Fedora Dave has had some of my homebrews and pushes me in the right direction when needed. Cheers! :fedora:

The lineup:
Drinkable - coffee milk stout/peppermint chocolate imperial stout
Conditioning - pumpkin pie oatmeal stout
Brewing/Fermenting - Chocolate milk stout

Welcome to the forum
"Filled with mingled cream and amber
I will drain that glass again.
Such hilarious visions clamber
Through the chambers of my brain
-- Quaintest thoughts -- Queerest fancies
Come to life and fade away;
Who cares how time advances?
I am drinking ale today."
