[etbrew]

I just started reading Gordon Strong's Brewing Better Beer and he talks a lot about learning from other brewers and it occured to me that I don't really know any other brewers except all of you on this forum.  I have never met any of you but the immense body of knowledge and experience in the AHA and this forum have been instrumental in furthering my understanding of the brewing pocess.

I have not asked many questions on the forum over the years but I have read a lot.  It turns out most of the question I have had were answered somewhere in time on this forum and all I had to do was seach for it!   

With that said I'd like to send out a big thank you to the AHA community for helping to teach me how to brew better beer 

Cheers!

You are welcome. We all started with our first batch. We all learned from others along the way. We are glad to help.

Very well written etbrew. I have the same sentiment.

+1.  My thoughts exactly. It's a great community of brewers and knowledge. While I feel competent to be a help to some, I learn constantly as well. How it should be.

I as well must say the knowledge from you guys and gals here are outstanding in the advise you share. I as well read a lot of the posts and have my questions answered. I also extend a Thank You to everyone here and hope for many more years of this may i dare say tradition. The passing of knowledge from one generation to the next with hopes that it lasts forever thanks to all the Elders of now and tomorrow.

Maybe this year we can arrange a more formal AHA Forum meetup at NHC and put faces to names.

I did meet many last year, and we went to Nodding Head for a beer or three. Should do it again,

That was a good time for sure. but it's gonna be a long walk to nodding head this year isn't it?

I hope I have been able to help folks out on here because I know I have, and continue, to receive tons of priceless info on here.

+1 to what the OP said! The folks here have been more than happy to help me with good solid advice and guidance. I've looked around for other online resources but this forum is the best. As others have said the "noise" here is far less than on other boards. Welcome!

Thanks to everyone for all the help.  Hopefully I've returned the favor a time or two.

This is a community that lives the concept of "pay it forward".  I received help so I can give others help now.  You all do the same in spades!

Took the words right out of my mouth!

Due to work/family/life-in-general constraints, I don't belong to a homebrew club. But honestly, the forums here suit my needs just fine. It's a great community we have going here, and I'm thankful if I can give back even a fraction of what I've learned (and continue to learn on a daily basis) from everyone here.
