Tom Drake

What got you into homebrewing ?   Iwore a Pete's Wicked Ale shirt into work one day and the older English gentleman that worked there asked me if I like microbrews ? I replied with a resounding "yes" and he proceeded to ask me if I ever tried making my own. Needless to say the rest is history. He showed me the ropes and we made quite a few extract and all grain batches before he retired to Florida.
