Hey folks, greetings from the Great Northwest! I'm another lurker that is stepping up to join the fray. I find this site and the related broadcasts interesting, entertaining and educational (not necessarily in that order

). I worked in the brewing field for about 6 years at a regional brewery that unfortunately was shut down in the late 90's. A few years later, I jumped into the home brewing hobby to as a way of releasing some of my creative energy. Been at it about 3 years now, and thoroughly enjoy the processes involved in building the brewery as well as the beers. I get a lot out of sites like this, and just hope I can add a little back as well. Cheers!
