Brewing history of RickBrew through May 22, 2010

This is my second year of new-brewing. I've got a lot of styles I want to try, so I can better pick those I do best and also like to drink (of course,otherwise, what's the point?). Since discovering sour ales or wild brews, I'm trying more of these, even though they have an aging / conditioning time of a year or more.
