It's been almost a year, but I finally made to the brew shop and picked up ingredients for a Pale Ale and a Porter. Pale Ale is on the stove as I type this. I love the smell of brewing. Of course the rest of the family hates it, but I love it. Here's to wishing me luck on a couple decent batches of brew.

Welcome back K.

Best of luck.

Good for you! Just make sure you wear the appropriate attire.
And remember to Brew Strong! Post here after it's done and tell us how it went and how it tastes.
Cheers!

Good luck and welcome back.

I am in the same boat, except it has been 15 years - did 30 batches in college then too much happened in life and my brewing suffered. My first attempt is a pseudo "Hammerhead" clone for any Oregonians out there. Good Cascade/Amber; 2 Row, Munich malt, 60L Crystal, 4 oz cascade - 60 (2 oz),30 (1 oz),5 (1 oz). Used Northwest 1332 from Wyeast.

In Conical 4 days now as of this typing. Can not wait to keg and drink!!!
