17 year Brewer from Chicago Suburbs

[StewMakesBrew]

Hi All:

A brewer for 17 years, plus a baker, amateur chef, barbecue maven and now cheesemaker.

Just recently started all-grain brewing after 17 years of thinking it might be too difficult (boy was I wrong. Time consuming, yes, difficult, NO!) and enjoying a resurgence in my passion for this wonderful hobby.

Looking foward to fun interactions ...

Yeah. I keep a beer journal and read it occasionally and it's really funny some of my early observations. I was just throwing stuff together and praying for decent results ...

Well, I've been lurking for years but thought I'd actually contribute to the conversation.

My guess is that your inner jr. high schooler said "17 year OLD GIRL brewer" LOL

LOL Ya I read that wrong as well.....Welcome to the forum... FWIW all grain doesn't have to be time consuming either. Unless you consider 3 hours time consuming.
