it's me, Higgs, aka John aka Natty aka natural320 from Little Bastards Brewing Project
just wanting to check in for the 1st time in a loooong while. after moving to TX, we found ourselves in the midst of a complete reno of our new house. lived with the parents and my in-laws from like April '15 through February of this year. it was umm, let's say OK
![silly :whistle:](./images/smilies/whistle.gif)
after that, I immediately cranked out a few batches, only to discover that it is STUPID hot here, and I am about to build a fermentation chamber because I basically had to take the summer (haha here that means May until like, yesterday) off from brewing. way too hot and the yeast would not have been happy with me. I plan on brewing tomorrow morning though, so that makes me happy
one sad note for those that may recall my 2 kitties...the white and gray one, Mickey, tragically and unexpectedly passed away, literally days before we moved into the new house. I didn't think it would hit me as hard as it did, but I was a mess. he was only like 8, and it looked like he had a heart attack or something mid-stride running through the hallways. but his memory lives on!
so that was for all of my MBF friends that I just tracked down after realizing the old site disappeared. and to all my new beerborg brewing buddies, it is a pleasure to meet you all, and I certainly look forward to getting into this community as much as possible.
prost!
