My greatest appreciation goes out to each and every one who's ever replied to any of my posts (even the stupid ones ;D). As I've adopted new practices and applied improvements to my brews, I've begun to notice interesting things. When I try to clone a beer, I has started to taste a bit like the beer I'm trying to clone. (pretty close anyway) Imagine that! And after many attempts over the past 9 months, I finally earned a silver medal in a recent homebrew competition. That one belongs to all those who helped get me here! My greatest thanks!

Sweet! Do you need our addresses? We like to show it off.

I feel the same as you do. All I know about this, I learned from someone willing to share. Thats why I share. Paying it back.

Plus I'm obsessed

I wish I could send everyone a sixer! The thing I love about this obsession is that everyone has something to bring to the table, and I've personally never engaged in a hobby where the individuals who literally "wrote the book" on the subject, interact with you on a daily basis. Really shows the passion and commitment that everyone has for this thing called brewing!

Agreed. What always amazed me is even though competitions are a major part of this hobby for so many, just about every one will do whatever they can to help you make the best beer possible. It's really a great community.

The reason I spend so much time on so many forums is to pay back all the help I was given when I started 458 batches ago.

I'm like everyone else. What little I know I freely give. Learned a great deal from everybody- especially on this particular forum.
