Hello from Rochester, New York, USA

[RITiger1060]

Hello fellow brewers,

I write to you from Rochester, New York, USA. I’ve been a home brewer for the past 7 years. I first started out with a kit, then progressed to extract with grains, partial-mash, then all-grain.

My brewing motto is: Life begins at 60, 1060 that is.

I enjoy drinking and brewing mostly Belgian-style ales; saisons, dubbles, and dark strong ales. Also, enjoy strong malty beers dopplebocks, old ales, barley wines and imperial stouts, and the occasional DIPA.

I’m beginning to transition to brewing more sessionable beers. I brewed my first Special Bitter a few weeks ago, and plan to brew more in the future.

I joined this forum in the hopes of learning more about English-style ales and recipe formulation, and contribute my knowledge and experience with styles I’m most familiar with.

Cheers!

Thanks all.

Yes, winter is officially here in NY. We received about 12" (30 cm) of snow in the past 24 hours, which has definitely dampened any brewing activities. I took the week off from work with the anticipation of brewing at least once. My two unopened sacks of grain will have to wait for another day .
