Time to Quit Lurking!

Hi folks!
I'm Chris. I've been sort of lurking around here for quite a while, and figured since I'm likely to meet Dave in person this weekend, maybe it's long past time to introduce myself.
I've been brewing off and on since before I even began drinking beer, believe it or not. I've brewed kits (FestaBrew -- the canned stuff always gets forgotten and expires when it's gifted to me), done a few partial mashes and finally built a big cooler tun to do all-grain last year. One heavily-substituted batch of Yooper's Oatmeal Stout (from over on HomeBrewTalk) turned out great and I'm hoping to keep in the swing. I even converted a nice full-sized kegerator a couple of years ago, but I've been delinquent keeping it full. Hopefully moving over to a 9-gal brew kettle instead of a three-way split boil on my stove will help.
I brew out of my kitchen and basement here near the Halifax Shopping Centre, and I'm trying to get my fiance into it to keep the pipeline flowing!
It's always a pleasure to read your collective wisdom, and I look forward to actually contributing from time to time, now.

Oh wait, I resemble that remark.
