Hey folks,
A Chicago native here new to Canada, PEI & homebrewing ... Just moved to Charlottetown a couple of months ago and looking to start up a new hobby brewing my own beer. Stumbled on this site and seems to be a pretty active community so that's great.
Nice to meet you. Cheers,
-Greg

Naw, but this one can be blamed on the wife
However I'm finding it quite nice ... except this morning spent 30 minutes shoveling/scraping my car after the ice over the weekend ...

You're not fooling anybody. Winter in Chicago can be hell.

quite true. people keep asking me about the difference, assuming it's much worse up here and i keep thinking it's actually pretty mild, though i know this is a bit unusual. i guess the biggest difference is the fact that i'm parking outside whereas i used to have a garage.

ugh i'm missing the Goose already. i wish i would have stocked up & brought some Sam Adams up too (note to self to bring back cases of these every time i go back to visit). i see Sam up here but it's sale price is 13.50 for a 6 pack! i used to get it for just over $1 A beer
hence i'm learning how to brew my own
thanks for the warm welcomes!
