High there.
I'm residing in Irwin, Pa, about 20 miles east of Pittsburgh. It rains a lot here, which is good for hop growing. I started brewing in '05 and finally made the jump to AG just last year. Getting over the hump was never about understanding how to mash, but was always more about my lack of engineering skills.
I decided to join the forum so that I could inundate all of the semi-pros on the board with my despicable questions. The truth is, there is always so much more to learn. So I decided that I better jump on the forum and, like a hop, absorb as much as I possibly can.
