Hi and welcome to the hobby and the forums.
Ok, so that's six months and eight brews, either you drink a lot of you have a
huge reserves... Man I'm jealous
Now that I think of it, I've never introduced myself, so here goes.
I was born in 1982 and have been brewing since winter 2004. I live with a
girlifriend and a dachschund in Oulu in northern Finland. I study maths in the
university and should graduate in spring 2007.
I make only extract brews since I don't have the equipment nor the access to
ingredients for all-grain brews. I'm also quite a novice when it comes to beer
drinking in general, but I've been trying to taste as many different beer styles
as possible. Currently my favourite store-bought beers have been the belgian
Trappist ales and Sinebrychoff Kaura (a finnish lager beer with oats and
honey).
I just bottled a batch of Cooper's Sparkling Ale and I'm planning on making an
Imperial Stout of some sort with a friend. We'll probably make it from Cooper's
Stout extract with added malt and possibly some brown sugar, but that
remains to be seen.
