So I've been a member for a while but have mostly been lurking/reading until i became a supporting member recently.And i just realized I've never introduced myself. I've been homebrewing on and off for about 7 years but recently have become OBSESSED with cider/mead/fruit wines. As a matter of fact I've got like 5 or 6 batches going rite now of varying ciders,meads and wines, and I'm trying to stop myself from starting more... i need help obviously i mean i haven't even made any beer since February, geez

One of the awesome things of this hobby is that you can chase it wherever it leads / inspires you. My goal is to follow the muse, hopefully, over time, learning most of the styles and products. Right now, I have a bourbon oak RIS, a mead, a Red Zinfandel, and Skeeter Pee ageing or fermenting. And 450 bottles of beer in the beer cave.

Cheers

Thanks Cyclman, so judging by your handle, do you ride too? If so what kind of cycle? i just feel like my new brewing interests have me totally submersed. The last beer i even made was in February, a russian imperial stout similar to Old Rasputin, but not a "clone". I brewed with a buddy using his recipe (and equipment as we were making a 50gal batch and my setup won't nearly support that) but wow did it turn out tasty. We are letting most of it bulk age a while though only one sanky tapped so far
