Well then, as long as I'm not missing out on the full experience.

A pumpkin porter sounds so delicious! I've not had much luck with porters, they usually either turn out to watery or too roasty? Not sure if that last one is a word... In GA, they just changed the law so we can purchase beer in the breweries now (a limit of only 72 oz) but at least it's a start! So naturally, I've already gone through my beer money for the month.

I haven't tried meads yet, in fact, I've never even tasted a mead! Once you brew an all grain beer with your mash tun, you will never go back to partial. Of course, then it really becomes an all-day event which means a whole day of drinking beer! Cheers! Hopefully you will keep us updated on your triple!
