Not so new from NJ

[briandickens]

Hey guys. I've been reading and even posting for a little while now, but I don't think I ever got around to formally introducing myself. (And if I have then I'm an ass.)

I'm a homebrewer for five or so years now, though I took a break in there for a while due to lack of fermenting space. I don't brew all that regularly, but I do enjoy buying and building equipment. And planning my next brews.

The BN has helped with ideas a lot, and the show is really what got me to start thinking about brewing constantly. It's what I needed to get back into it I think.

Anyway, I'm trying to get more involved with the BN because I think it's an awesome community.

Also, I have my very own Jayne hat at home. JEALOUS?

Here's an official and long overdue welcome. We're going to need to see some photographic proof of such an outlandish claim

You'll get it tonight. My sister made a few for the opening of Serenity. Yes, we all wore them. Yes I felt like a fool.

[BadRock]

Welcome Brotha.

[macgruffus]

Yes I felt like a fool.

(emphasis mine)

Seems silly to welcome you now Brian. How about a "Howdy?"

[briandickens]

Yeah, howdy works too.

You saying I should feel like a fool now? Haha. I'm proud now!

[macgruffus]

You saying I should feel like a fool now?

No. Just wondering is "feel" was the right word. <grin>

Nad what the "f" is that avatar? I'm getting a little queasy looking at it. Kind of like JP's skin suit one.

[briandickens]

Hmm. is "looked" better? Haha.

The avatar is a picture I took of my peanut butter and chocolate porter in the primary fermenter. The green on top is the oil from the peanut butter. I thought it was mold. Considering the amount of oil there, the beer is able to hold its head pretty well.
