New guy
« on: August 09, 2014, 07:57:55 am »
I'm new to this forum and just wanted to say hello.  Originally from West Virginia but have lived in Georgia now for 30 years.  I still consider West Virginia my home.  I've been making my own beer for 2 years now mostly using pre-packaged kits which are "OK".  I've made two 5 gallon batches of brew from ingredients that I picked out and purchased from a place in Athens, GA that has now gone out of business.  I'm here to read and learn from experienced home brewers so that I might pick up some of the knowledge that this board has.  Knowledge wise, I'd say I'm pretty much starting from ground zero.  I'm happy to be a part of this forum and am looking forward to picking up some good tips.  Thanks.

Welcome to the forum! This is a great place to be, I know I've learned a lot and have met some great people, albeit virtually in most cases!

There is a tremendous amount of experience here and everyone is really helpful, conversational and fun!

Welcome to the forums. Some of us are seasoned veterans of Homebrewing, but have good manners and are house trained.  ;D

My amners are better than average.  I'd give them a 35.

Welcome from one noob to another. Get ready to be addicted. Since I joined the forum a couple weeks ago my future aspirations have skyrocketed simply because of all experience on this board.
