Whats up guys and gals? I have been going through the archives to play some catch up over the past 6 months, I only have 7 months of show left till I am caught up. This show is awesome and has gotten me into home brewing and love the hobby. Thank you J for the show and everyone that makes the BN what it is, keep up the good work.

Welcome to the insanity. Seeing as how you already have the plague, I guess you don't have to worry about catching anything worse from us. 8)

You've told us about your listening, so now tell us more about your brewing. Please.

Been brewing for 6 months now and started mini mash and made 3 batches one complete failure and two great brews. The complete failure was a Belgian Golden Strong that turned into an exploding champagne bottle (gives a whole new meaning to bottle bomb) and a dumped batch. I am now AG and have the first batch of that in the carboy, a California Common, waiting for it to complete. I didn't like working with extract all that much so I figure I would just take the jump and bought a red cooler, pipe fittings, and braided stainless line and made a mash tun. Have also made a successful Black Berry Wine and have a 1/2 gal of mead going. Next investment will be a kegging system.

Just think of dumping a batch as "pouring one out for the dead homies".
