Not to worry; my de-douching is complete. I'm a private first class.

Unfortunately there wasn't a donation listed that would promote me to "able seaman."
A little history. My first brew was a mead, because I didn't know where the homebrew shop was, and I could get all the ingredients at the grocery store. But I still wanted to ferment something. I found my way to
GotMead.com and I heard about the BN when they did
the mead show in October '06. I've been an archive listener ever since, and I've been brewing beer for about 2 years, thanks to all the great information on the BN!
