Just returned from the Convention in Philly! I was fortunate enough to meet up with some BN members at Saturday's dinner, and I decided to join The Brewing Network myself.
Congratulations on your Award, BTW!
I've been brewing for 3 1/2 years now, some AG, some extract kits (for ease and convenience), and I'm always interested in sharing knowledge, asking and answering questions, and learning anything I can to improve my technique. I finally got the nerve to enter my first competition this February, and was pleased to come in 3rd in the Dark Lager Category! A bit of a surprise, since it was my first attempt at a lager, I wasn't brewing to style initially, and had no idea what my results would be.
I intend to enter again next winter, with an Ordinary Bitter and a German Pils.
