Hey!
Well I thought about leaving it at that, but it makes no sense.
I've been brewing for almost 3 years now, only had time to make 29 batches as of this writing. Made 4 or 5 extract batches (have to look at the notes... but I'm at work) before switching to all grain. All this before I learned about the brewing network! I'm still catching up on the Sunday show.
Just started kegging too! Holy crap that was exciting. I was ready to stop brewing because of bottling, but I finally got up the spare cash to buy my first 3 kegs. Ordered in another 4 not long ago, and I"m ordering 4 more this week. Can never have too many.
Just got a friend into this hobby too, figure out I might as well spread the wealth (or poorth as the case may be... all this gear is spendy!).
Now I just have to talk to wife into letting me get some pumps, build a sculpture and invest in either 2 more 7 gal kettles, or better yet some kegs to convert.
It's great to be here, and to finally post some instead of just trolling for info. I was feeling like such a leech.
Thanks guys (and gals... if there are any :) )!

Sorry Mrs. H I swear I wasn't thinking! I hear that around here that can get you killed.
I didn't ask about D because I heard it on the show. I still haven't caught up to current ones, but I didn't want to be like the guy who sent in feedback after she left saying she was his favorite. No more salt in that wound from me.
