Greetings from Portlaoise

[John]

John here. I first brewed well over 20 years ago when I was a broke young fella and it was terible stuff. : So I gave it up after a handful of brews. My interest in homebrew was rekindled 3 years ago when I came across Craigtube and he seemed to be loving his kit brews so as it was approaching xmas I dropped some not so subtle hints to Mrs. John and as luck would have it there was a homebrew shop closeby in Mountmellick(the homebrew company) and I haven't looked back. I have just joined up here to full membership so I thought it was time to say hello. I am looking forward to learning more and meeting fellow brewers.
