Hi all,
Just a quick intro. Looong time listener & first time poster. I first brewed in 1994 after my brother bought me a Mr. Beer kit with that decidedly-average-but-more-interesting-than-BMC amber beer kit (I use the term 'kit' loosely here since it was more accurately a can with stuff in it).
I literally muddled around for a decade, occasionally brewing. LHBS was a wine store and I had little else to go on. With decent microbrew starting to show up at the time, I stopped brewing. Ray Daniels book and then Palmers book changed my brewing life after that...then JZ's show kicked the interest in high gear!
I just thought this lurker should say hi.
