Count me in!

Great to hear.

I've definitely improved over time. The first was just so surprisingly good. I've brewed several a year since starting and only had one that was ruined and one that was a little off. I know what I did wrong on the one that was off, but the ruined one I'm not sure, maybe bacteria. All this...

Ha reading this now brings back memories. That first brew is still one of the better ones. The only one better is the first all grain I did.

The first brew was an IPA which I kind of created myself. I used a recipe for a fuggle clone as a base, however I changed it up quite a bit with different hops and the original instructions didn't go along with everything I have read online and in books. Added fuggles once early in the...

Homebrew Den... Sounds good. I can get to Tallahassee in about 1.5 Hours, so I might have to check that out one day. BFE Alabama? I see it is East Central... like Alex City? I think we will start our next brew May first for Brew Day.

Heck, I am closer to Tallahassee than Bham. I bought my ingredients kit from AlaBrew. Got the Fuggles IPA kit, which is actually a partial grain kit, but it was easy. We changed it up a bit and kind of made it our own. Swapped part of the fuggles for cascade and changed up the brew times...
