Hi from north of Perth

Postby Leggie » Thu Jan 30, 2014 11:07 am

Mornin all.
Just signed up to his amazing forum.
Reading some of the info on this site really makes me realise how much more I have to learn.
Not just methods but terminology.

I'm probably your typical Home Brew store purchaser and have been wanting to get way from that and into the more natural methods of making my falling over water.

Looking forward to learning from you all.

Cheers

Leggie

Ta mate. I've started reading and there's a lot to absorb.
I would never have believed that the first thing on my shopping list for this afternoon would've been tomato paste.

You learn every day.

I come from Kalgoorlie and they had one set of lights. So the standard thing was "head on up to the lights and turn left" or "lets meet at the lights" Never get lost in Kalgoorlie. :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Thanks mate

Ah times have changed.
An uncle of mine has an old street directory and the most northern suburb on the map was Koondoola.
