Okay home brewers...where are you located? I'm near the thumb in the Millington area. I've only been brewing for about 1 year now (extract) and have about 7 batches under my belt. My favorite brew so far seems to be a porter...but I'm getting ready to bottle a spiced dark ale and maybe it will change my mind.:corkysm55

What about the rest of you?

I ain't telling you, you'll come steal all my booze! :D

Just kidding of course. I am from the Blanchard Area, between Mt Pleasant and Big Rapids. I have several wines waiting to be bottled now.

Just South of St Joe.
I've made many batches of beer in the past, but none in a couple years.
I've been making a lot of wine lately. I have 5 gallons of Peach going right now.

I'm out of the Tawas Bay area. I am green as can be at this.
I already have received helpful advice here.
I really don't need another hobby, but this one has billions of little friends doing the bulk of the work for me.:lol:

Kalamazoo area here. Home of Bells. That is where I tend to pick up most of my homebrew supplies. This is my second season in the hobby. I have learned much, and look forward to learning even more!

I'm in Milford.

I brew a couple batches of all grain a year. More in the winter months than summer. I've got nothing on tap right now so I'm thinking of doing up a batch this Saturday.

I've also been saving wine bottles for a while now. I'd like to get my first batch of wine going one of these days.

Same here. Hubby does the wine brewing. Has some yet to be bottled. Made at least 5 batches this year and got neighbor in on doing it also.

Wow just noticed that home brewers have they're own spot here- Hale area, all grain 3 years, mostly IPA's but looking towards German alt style beers (2 1/2 years with the military in Germany left many memories). I would like to see a get together to trade and sample others with mine.
Realy like the forum on home brewing.

Welcome Jakcpine! The forum hasn't been around long, but it is growing. Look forward to more posts from you. I also would love a ms beer society that could meet, try, and swap homebrews!

I just got a kit to start brewing over Christmas. I finished my first batch yesterday and bottled it for carbonation. I used the pre made idiot proof kit. I can't wait to go out this week and buy the ingredients from scratch to try something out.

I'm in Wayne

I'm located near Fenton.

I've been brewing beer since about 2001 and have a couple dozen batches under my belt (lol). I have been brewing all-grain for 2 years now.

I'm in Waterford. Only been extract brewing for a couple of months. But I try to keep my carboy bubbling on a regular basis. If someone would have told me how fast 5 gal of brew disappeared I would have bought two carboys. :lol:

Muskegon here, all grain for about 2 years on a friends system. I just bought a new house that has a two stall detached garage (MINE) separated by 40yds of lawn from the house/garage(WIFES). I am currently building a 10gallon herm system. We have an IPA, Imp IPA, American Brown and Rye on tap at my friends "brew house". Made a Scotish Ale last weekend, first time we have ever made that, smells good, can't wait to taste.
