Hello!
I am a new homebrewer from Lunenburg.
I like bold beer, especially barrel aged stouts and anything with imperial or Double in the description.
Influenced by local breweries and a few from the US, (Brash, Karbach , Parrish, Abita, Stone and Prairie Artisan Ales).
I have a few brews under my belt:
-Extract/Steep- American Stout (bottled) 6.5%
-Partial mash - RIS (Bottle aging) 9.1%- split batch, half - Cacao nibs, coconut, chipotle and rum fortified ~11%
-BIAB - SMaSH MO/Simcoe (primary) ?7.1%? OG 1.068
-Planning - Baltic Porter ~10-12%
Trying to learn how to up my efficiency, maintain mash temp (outside in the winter) and get the characteristics I want.

"Twenty years ago — a time, by the way, that hops such as Simcoe and Citra were already being developed, but weren’t about to find immediate popularity — there wasn’t a brewer on earth who would have gone to the annual Hop Growers of American convention and said, “I’m going to have a beer that we make 4,000 barrels of, one time a year. It flies off the shelf at damn near $20 a six-pack, and you know what it smells like? It smells like your cat ate your weed and then pissed in the Christmas tree.” - Bell’s Brewery Director of Operations John Mallet on the scent of their popular Hopslam.

Hey All, thanks for the warm welcome.
@Thegrainbarrel already a customer.
I sampled the SmaSH before putting it in secondary... even better than I expected. It might get me away from the big stouts.
Working on my next recipes (Baltic Porter and Imp Milk stout) and trying to find time to brew.
