Homebrewer here.
I have been actively homebrewing for about 5 yrs now. I have done IPA's, Trippel's, Amber's, Porter's, Wheat's, and a Black IPA. I All Grain brew and do 5 gallon batches. I would be happy to offer any pointers or answer any questions I can for you. Sorry to hear you cannot get Moose Drool in your area. It is definitely a mainstay here, however I live 8 miles from where it is brewed! There are so many great bears out there, and clone recipes are a great way to taste them all. Anyway, it is always nice to see a homebrewer getting started! Cheers!:beer:
