Hi!
Hi everyone,
I just joined the forum and wanted to take a moment to introduce myself. I'm Andrew Smith, an accountant, almost finished my CMA / MBA combined program, recently married and have been a home brewer for about 15 months. I've got 15 batches under my belt, all extract and mini mash except for 1 festa brew box. I've also entered the Garrison Home Brew competition and wound up placing in the top 4 so for those attending the Gala on Thursday please come by and say Hi!
Look forward to meeting all of you and learning lots about brewing.
Andrew

Re: Hi!
Hey Andrew,
Welcome to the site. Congrats on the placement in the Garrison's competition. An excellent accomplishment for only 15 brews under your belt - although 15 in 15 months is great.

The club meets every second Tuesday of the month, location and time are discussed in the "Events" section of the forums. Many members also meet up at the Hart & Thistle on Friday nights, though it seems like it's been mostly random days/times recently

Re: Hi!
Beginers luck, I think not! Making the finals means you can brew a good beer. Looking forward to trying it on Thursday
"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.
