Been brewing for a year and really love it. I just popped my second bottle of home brew irish stout. It is good. Look forward to learning and sharing.

This is the good stuff! Stick around. This site will help brew great beer. And have fun doing it! It is for the experts and the noob's.
Well I forgot I did one of these, sort of. I'm back an in the past 14 years since my last post life has been interesting! Kids moved out, I became a grandad, youngest joined the Air Force, got married, got out of the Air Force, I became a grandad again, two of my three boys moved BACK in to the house. Oldest with his daughter and youngest with his family.
On the Brewing from I have a nice little brewing area now in the basement and I really enjoy it. I and expanding into wine and mead now also. I am looking to do my first lager here soon too.
Thanks for all that this site provides!

Awesome! I was intimidated by the lager at first. Now, it has opened a whole new world. If you keg, it isn't that difficult. Try 34/70 to start with. Pitch heavy, very heavy. Ferment around 55 and raise the temp to around 60 at either low or very low krausen. That yeast will produce a very clean lager at that those temperatures. You can have them ready to taste in the same time as a normal ale, but you ideally want them to sit for a little while longer ( a couple or three weeks) to get better.
I'm going to taste my Vienna Lager on Friday.
