I do brew. Only for about a year and just a few all grain batches under my belt, but have a hellova good time doing it. The Brew Hut is one of my favorite places to visit-just a long drive from my house.

Haven't ventured into all-grain yet......I think I'd need a bigger kitchen:) I frequent Brew at Home on Broadway when I need something quickly. Their prices are good after the new owners took over. They are comparable to the large Internet shops now.
What types have you made so far?

airbur - All-grain I have made a Vanilla Bourbon Porter, an Imperial IPA and a couple batches of a Blood Orange Heffe-delicious. Made tons of different
s with extract/partial mash or specialty grains. I like all-grain a lot but with quality ingredients extract and specialty grains have given
s that are just as good (or better-I messed up my first all grain attempt!)
I was looking into kegging at home but had some $ issues a few months back and ended up selling my corny kegs. Oh well-bottles are easier anyways

Yea, I understand about kegging. While it's nice to have, it can be a pain. I like to give most of my beer away and that's not possible with the kegged beer.

Bones, I still haven't had a chance to try the porter. You better have some left.
I don't brew (I leave that to Bones), but I am a pilot. It seems we have a lot of gun guys on the boards, too.

For all of you current and former military people, the Post-9/11 GI Bill has just undergone a revision. Effective 1 October, 2011 the GI Bill will now pay full tuition or 10,000, which ever is less, towards flight certification.
Guess where I'm gonna be in October!
