me the BrewNoob

[BrewNoob]

Hey all BrewNoob here. I hail from Virginia but I imigrated to Michigan ( long story ). As my name implies I'm a noob but learning fast. I heard about y'all on a usenet group and love the shows so far. Learning alot in chat also. I'm 37...I think, never really keep track anymore. I'm a widower but have a steady girlfriend of over 2 years now and she helps me out with my beer but she don't drink it....pretty cool! I'm just doing extract and specialty 5 gallon batches for now but I'm sure it won't be long before I move to all grain...just a timing thing as we're moving soon to next door ( again, don't ask..lol ) Don't know how to post a pic here but you can see my ugly mug here :

Just the basics but it works so far. Guess that's about it.

Welcome Gerard,
I also have emigrated from Michigan. I always say: "If you were to give the planet Earth an enima, Detroit is where you would put the nozzle".

LOL...I live about 30 miles from detroit...nice area but no brew stores here so I have to got to Utica or Macomb to get supplies...oh well..at least the summers are nice here

Cool. Sterling Heights maybe? I have family in Roseville and Mt Clemens. Moved from Metro to Tn before I started brewing. There's a couple good hombrew shops in Livonia.
