I mean, I would be if I went to meetings and not parties.

 

-awkward silence-

 

So, there's one thing out of the way! But I'll seduce you all with my awkwardness and it'll be okay, right?

 

At any rate! Name's Kori, and I, too, enjoy nerdy things and stuff of the sort! Video games, I dabble in card games, I'm huge on sports and sporting activities, but I'll also spend my days sitting on the couch and looking at random shit on the Internet. (yaaay!) I'm a fan of beer (not in the alcoholic way, I promise). I do enjoy drinking it, but I'm much more interested in brewing it for others' enjoyment.

 

I'm also a writer! Well, I'm writing a book. I don't know how much of a writer that makes me, but I will be eventually!

 

But, enough about me! I'm psyched to be a part of this place and befriend everyone here (:

Welcome.

We are all awkward in our own special ways.


It is perfectly acceptable to fear and admire a being you could not possibly understand.

Hi!  The term you're searching for is "alcoholist," and I am an avid alcoholist as well.  =D

Awkwardness is the only form of seduction that I know of.  And chicks dig writers, that's what I keep telling myself. It's probably not true.\

 

Welcome, Kori. I'll have you know that's the second funny spelling of the name that I've met this week.

That's cool yo. Things can be a bit pricey around here, too, but in some parts I can go to a store and spend around $50-70 to make a pretty good IPA.

Hooray for uniqueness!

Oh, not only are you a drunk, you seem to be here to steal souls.

 

 

 

Ok, I'm done.

Do you start from cracked grains or use premade malts?  Since we started boiling the grain it's been cheaper, if more time consuming. Then again its yours from beginning to end. I favor mellow, hoppy lagers.

Of the commercial beers I've had the standouts are Bud Black Crown and Heineken, notwithstanding a strong love of everything Sam Adams. I just love the way they try new stuff constantly.

 

$50 is about the price here, but I rarely have $50 to spend at once. I make less than $500 a month and by the time I've paid what bills I have and taken my lady-friend out for dinner, I get a $20 for myself every week or two.

Welcome to the group Kori!

A buddy of mine from my home town used to brew his own beers on occasion.
Mind you he hosted gaming parties a lot, and liked to program/work while drunk (Independent/contract programmer.)

 

Though, I personally prefer harder drinks and have never really enjoyed beer all that much.

Sounds like my kinda person!

Ah D: That isn't good! 20 bucks doesn't last all that long. Why is it that you only make that much, if you don't mind my asking?

 

I usually use premade malts since it's easier with my current situation (moving, new job, etc.), so I stick to that. There's this one place I've been to a couple times called the Weak Knee and they have awesome stuff. I haven't tried making a lager, though, since the people I brew with prefer a bolder tasting ale, but I enjoy lagers, too, and wheat beers like Blue Moon and Shocktop. I'm not sure which kind of an ale Magic Hat brews, but I love their stuff, too.

 

I remember a time when I only used to drink Coors Light... I was so young and naive then, haha.

I work part time to still have time.for school, live with my parents. Literally only cover car insurance, gas and my cell bill and I have maybe 70 not accounted for, after the aforementioned lady friend not much remains.

Yeah, I know how all that goes. But hey, at least you're being the "responsible adult society wants you to be"--yay...

Quite right.

I currently have posession/ownership of nine, maybe ten souls.

I just remind myself. 
One day I'll make six figures and the people goofing off having fun now, barring a miracle or 3, will not.

Or better, even if they do, they won't do it with <20k in loans for the whole shebang.

 

 

One day I will leave my parents house, marry my girly-friend, buy a home and do whatever the hell I want. I'm playing it safe because the payoff is better.
