BREW HISTORY
I had wanted to brew beer at home for
years before I actually did it. I obsess
too much about things and tend to
overplan, so I read and read and read
books, magazines, and of course forums. I
became active on HomeBrewTalk among all
the other forums because of the surprising
support for senior members and lack of
apparent 'flame wars' notorious on other
boards. I brewed my first batch as an
extract kit and in hindsight wonder why I
didn't start sooner. All the reading and
planning was time wasted not brewing. So
for all you beginners out there...brew

MN - thanks for the comment. I'm torn on the relocation. Not a fan of the cold (from WI) but am of employment! HQ is in St Paul and their closing the doors here in Tucson. I'm one of the lucky one's who got an offer to relocate. It's a good opportunity so we're looking at it from the positive side.

Northern Brewer is just a couple miles from downtown St Paul where I'll be working so that will be nice.

Ellsworth AFB, out near Box Elder. I actually just got here in November, but it seems like a pretty good place to live so far.

Thanks Bug. It was very helpful to bounce ideas off you throughout the process. Good brewing!
