ABOUT ME
I'm really scattered and sometimes cannot stick to a schedule to save my life. It's not uncommon for me to "Get ready to brew xxxxx" about 5 times before I actually get the brew started. Sorry to be such a flip-flopper. It's not nearly as bad now that my grain mill is motorized. Someday I'll start my first lager. Someday.

BREW HISTORY
I started brewing in September 2007. I
have brewed only all-grain beer since
Batch 1. (Except for one batch that I
helped a friend brew, using my equipment,
but that doesn't really count.) I brew
only ales, since I haven't invested in
temperature control yet... but I'm dying
to find a chest freezer to use for a
fermentation cabinet. I brew a lot of
Hobgoblin... other than that, my beers
rotate frequently, and I rarely brew a
beer twice. I fell away from brewing in
early 2009, due to a lack of time and
personal depression due to my work
situation at the time. I finally got my
equipment sorted and cleaned in Late 2011,
a rudimentary brewing space set up where I
can weigh and mill my grains and store my
gear, and as a result, I brewed my first
(returning) batch on 1/2/2012.

About what you'd expect - bruised elbows and butt, and a sore spot where the full 5-gallon bucket slammed into my chest. But I am ridiculously clumsy (I have been falling up and down stairs since I was 10), so it was nothing new. I was just so glad nothing bad happened to the beer!
