That was The year of dynamic weight gain, ive never recovered..lol Its good to see that some fellow Headfier's enjoy this most excellent hobbie.
I've been looking into all grain brewing just to get a little more advanced. The fellow I brew with (we all need a brew buddy!) doesn't want to get into the "science" of it and wants to just enjoy the fun, and to a certain extent, I agree, but all grain looks cheaper and I like the idea of doing it all by hand. :-)
I'm also brewing my first high gravity beer. It's gonna total over 13%! It's a belgian cherry ale. I tried some and really enjoyed it, so the gentleman gave me the recipe. I can post it if anyone would like.
