I just wanted to sign up and say hi to everyone and a big thanks to the Brewing Network for saving my sanity for over a year now. I have a strange and boring job where I get to stare at the ocean from sunrise to sunset and if it wasn't for the BN I'd have jumped over board long ago. I've ripped through every episode of the Jamil show, CYBI and Brew Strong and am now making my way through the Sunday session archives. I'm fairly new to brewing and after doing a horrible batch or 2 of kit and kilo about 10 years ago I've now built a 3V 70L all grain system. So far brewed a coupla hefes, a belgian dubbel, a Russian Imperial Oatmeal Stout (the 8wired iStout clone), Arrogant Bastard clone and Jamils Hoppiness is an IPA. All were amazing apart from the IPAs. The Bastard was my first brew and the ferment finished way too high, I hit my numbers on the IPA but still tasted a bit sweet.
The MR in MRbrew is for Margaret River a little wine town in south west Western Australia. Thankfully theres a bunch of micro breweries popping up including the latest addition with a brewer who cut his teeth at Brew Dog in Scotland. Keep sharing the knowledge over there and I'll keeping preaching the BN message back home!
