Allow me to introduce myself – I am Tom from Idaho and I have been a lurker on this site since December of 2005 and I am now coming out. I started brewing in December of 2005. I have brewed 17 - 5gallon batches since I started and each one has been an experience. I started with a LHBS Starter Brewery – 1 carboy, a plastic bucket, racking cane, air lock, misc. other items and Charlie Papazian’s joy of Home Brewing. I read the whole book and downloaded and have listened to all the Archives of the B.N. and the Jamil show. I started with Extract like most and within a month moved to partial mash and by March of this year I had finally done my first All Grain. I now do All Grain, use mostly dry yeast and fermentation Temp control, and I still bottle. Because of the B.N I have been improving my beer.
Cheers,
TWC3
