Forward to the Past
« on: January 09, 2023, 03:05:16 pm »
Thought this might be the right place to say hello.

I brewed from 2002 to either 2006 or 2007, and then I quit. I just started up again. I used to post on rec.crafts.brewing, which is good, because I had to search the group to recover some of my old knowledge.

Two weeks ago, all I had was some crazy ideas and a computer. Now I have a fermenting fridge, a freezer that will be a new keezer, a batch of ale in the carbonation phase, and a bunch of new brewing junk. I also have ingredients for a wheat beer.

Hope I can be an asset here.
Go ahead. Make my IPA.

Welcome back to the hobby! I think you'll notice that the quality of ingredients has improved significantly since the early 2000's.

Yes indeed, welcome! Also spent way too many hours on RCB.
