    Default homebrew?

    Any fellow beer homebrewers on this board? Perhaps anyone that's a member of homebrewtalk.com?

    What have you brewed recently?

    Default YES!!!

    Hello,

    Fellow homebrewer here. I brew mostly partial mash. I am certainly not skilled enough for all-grain batches. I currently have a Scotch ale in seconday fermentation and plan on brewing a raspberry mead next week.

    I am also dying to brew lagers, but haven't found a cheap enough fridge around. Maybe in the next few months though. If you have any interesting recipes for a stout, send them my way. Especially a cherry or imperial stout. I am not a member of homebrewtalk.com.

    Homebrewer here too! I've done whole grain for a few years. Lately not so much due to lack of time, but a few years back I made 1 or 2 5 gallon batches a month(!) I love brewnights, have to get some time to brew again.

    Not participating on any forums though... I used to lurk on one or two "back then" but not anymore...

    yep,

    Another one of my many interests.
    It's been a while, though.
    About ten years ago, in a former life as pub-owner, I was really passionate about it, with plans for launching a microbrewery in the pub. We were in the test brewing phase. Eventually other considerations would lead me to sell my shares to my business-partner and pursue another career. Since then, most of my free time went into building my own house, and woodworking, which is another big passion of mine.
    Not enough hours in a day, too little days in a year, too less years in a lifetime. It's a tragedy. But I still dream of catching up with the homebrewing again.

    I'm both a homebrewer and a member of homebrewtalk.com. (On there, I'm known as Regicider.) But I haven't brewed nor posted in quite a while. So far, I've done extract brews, but I'm inching my way to partial mashes. And straight razor shaving.

    Hmmm... I can see it now: The Imperial Stout Shaving Soap! The head on that malty cake makes the best lather you'll ever experience, and what's more -- when you're done, just suck your shaving brush dry for that extra-special start to your day! :-)

    Partial mash here as well. I'm still in the novice range but really itch to move on to bigger and better brews

    I've been doing partial mash brews for a couple of years. We just opened a vanilla porter that's been sitting since July; it came out pretty well. I'm a little nervous about going to full grain, though the idea of acquiring more equipment is very enticing.

    I am trying my hand at brewing a cider, as I have yet to find a beer that I enjoy. 5 gallons in my basement right now.

    Wish me luck!

    I just brewed my first batch a few weeks ago. It was a stout from a local brew shop. I am also on homebrewtalk.com, as newbrewr4fun. My first batch was an extract with specialty grains. I think my next batch I will go partial mash.

    I was a keen full mash brewer until Diabetes put a end to regular Brewing and Beer drinking, so sad!!!
