Welcome to the fun. Post away, ask questions, share your ups and downs. Frequent brewing and this forum will bring you up to speed pretty quickly.

Thanks guys. I do have one question. Would anyone drink a beer I'm trying to make: Hibiscus Hellhound. It will be a blonde, with hibiscus, lime and habenero. My inspiration is a lime habenero hibiscus cheese cake I made and it was so good. So Iwonder if the flavors would be just as good in a beer.

Sounds like a delicious cheese cake and only one way to find out if it will work in a beer.  I've had beers with each of those ingredients, but not all three together.  I've never brewed w/ either of these ingredients, so I couldn't begin to tell you how much to use, but I'm sure others could offer some insight on that.  Let us know how it turns out!

when its done I will post the recipe. The cheese cake recipe is from b****in Kitchen's Nadia G. First cheese cake Iever made, and it was awesome.

Aloha Amanda.  Welcome to the forum and to brewing.  It is an awesome community to be a member of.

I met my wife at the National Homebrewers' Conference in New Orleans in 1996.  We got married a year later.  After our honeymoon in Hawaii we went to NHC '97 in Cleveland.  Brewing brought us together.

Good on you for staying home and raising your sons.  Being a stay at home mom is as noble of a profession as there is.  Our world would be a much better place if there were more moms like you!

The best part about homebrewing is you can do anything you like.  As the Aussie saying goes, "No rules - Just right!"  Do it your own way.  Don't let anyone intimidate you into not following your own lead.  The best discoveries happen by mistake.

Or stay at home dads for that matter.

+1 to that!  I'm lucky that I can work from home thus allowing me to be a stay at home Dad.  Probably the most challenging job I've ever had but by far the most rewarding!  Really makes me appreciate my Mother even more.

  Itold my husband Iwant to start a stay at home home brewers club.  That way everyone understands why we all have our kids and are just as excited for adult conversation that's not online. Lol
