hey there fellow 'stillers...

Postby graybags » Mon Feb 20, 2012 8:43 pm

HI Fellow's and Fellowette's,

Suppose you could call me a newbie that has been perservering with the home brew shop recipe (BTE Still, Classic Yeast, dextrose etc etc) for 4 or 5 years.

I recently decided there has to be more to it, so Google copped a flogging and I'm glad it did - it has introduced me to a new world!!!

I have been using SS products etc for that amount of time - I was a keen beer producer at home before that until the quack told me my sore toe would not get better until I stopped drinking beer..., gotta hate gout! I made the change and haven't looked back until recently - and, well here I am.

Hoping, and sure I can, help someone sometime, but till then I have a lot to learn - off to the supermarket for some yeast and tomato paste tomorrow!!

Cheers and Happy Times to All!!!!

Welcome aboard mate, what side of the country you on?

I get gout all the time, she yells GOUT so I go to the shed & figure out how to spend more money on my hobby :laughing-rolling:

HAHA, Diffent version of GOUT - I usually "GOUT" before that happens - in fact i spend most of my time in the shed - guess you could call it pre-gout, or GOUTED?

Live close enough to Windsor nr Sydney (yeah I know - somehow when I say we need to gout only one of us is listening..., she who must be obeyed is born and bred here)
