Hey everyone!
Have been brewing the odd kit batch since I was 16 (helped get around that whole drinking age thing!). Anyways, they were never terrible (well sometimes), but never great, micro-brew calibre either. Lately, I've just resumed brewing and decided to try a LHBS's recipe for an Irish Red (extract with some steeping)...thought I would step it up a bit! Totally blown away and that's only off the post-fermentation samples...brew is carbing as we speak. So my passion for HB'ing has been reinvigorated :rockin: I beefed up my equip, dl'd BrewSmith and have begun reading up on this art/science more seriously. Next up is the incredible sounding Deception Stout (NCBeernut's recipe). I can see Partial in my future...maybe even some AG eventually! If I can ever replicate an Innis and Gunn batch (mmm...oaky toffee vanilla)...I can die a happy man. Just wanted to say hello from Ottawa, Canada, and reply to a couple local brewer's threads. This is an amazing forum with an incredible amount of info...love the community feel! Cheers dudes!
