Morning all.
My name's Rich and I like beer.
My local is a proper good ale pub (currently 21 pumps on) and over the years I've been chatting to the landlord and generally building an interest in beer, over and above just drinking the stuff.
He's been mulling the idea of starting up a micro-brewery on site and that got me thinking about the brewing process.
Long story short, Mrs (or Dr, officially) Greenhorn bought me a Youngs AIPA for Christmas and I'm just waiting for the boiled water to cool a bit so I can proof my yeast before getting it brewing.
I'm a real fan of forums, having built up a lot of knowledge from various motorbike based ones over the years. They're such a good way of finding stuff out and talking to like-minded folk. So I'll probably be taking up my fair share of room on here if that's ok with you chaps.
And the other stuff... I'm 39, live in a village called Potton, which is between Bedford and Cambridge, and have two small people.
