I've been home brewing for 9? Years since my beloved wife got me started so I would stop complaining about American beers. I'm a yank, but she's from Brentwood, England and the only time I was happy with my beer is when I was sitting in a pub during one of our visits across the pond.
I have only used extracts thus far, but I moved out of kits about 6 years ago. We recently relocated from fertile California into the southern desert of Arizona. In Cali, there were plenty of home brewers hanging around the micro-breweries, yet the closest micro brewery to my new home is 50miles. Thus I need a new source of sage advice .. so here I am.

Good to be here. It's really strange to be 'surrounded' by all the english-but-not-american vocabulary and not need a translator often.

Great to have you on board. A lot of good brewing literature comes out of the States and we have to get used to the vocab, too. If you want a challenge, look at the Australian forum.
Looking forward to hearing about your adventures in beerage.

Welcom! Plenty of non-native English speakers here but as long as you don't mix up the units, everything should be cool
Any favourite beer styles or recipes?

My primary drinking glasses (really lexan) are true pints. My biggest pain is getting a recipe in Celsius...I still hafta convert to make sure there s no surprises.

I actually prefer a good, plain-ole bitter. Unfortunately, I prefer something around 6APV and most are down around 4.5. Of course, then there is my addiction to dunkels & bachs.
