Hi, my name is Tim Sopcak and I’m addicted to homebrew.
I’ve been brewing for 7 years with the past 3 being all-grain. Recently, I’ve began brewing 10 gal batches and plan to split the same wort into two unique beers through the use of different ale/lager yeast strains, spices, etc.
I’ve worked within the IT healthcare field for the past 6 years and dabble with programming on occasion. My wife and I will be married for 5 years as of this coming May with no human children at this time but instead a Scottish terrier and cat to keep us company.
I live in midtown Harrisburg near Little Amps where I brew outside on my back porch. I always welcome anyone interested in checking out my setup or hanging out during a brew session.
I enjoy many German style ales and lagers such as my favorite house selection Munich Dunkel and other such as Schwarzbier, Rauchbier, Dunkelweizen, Hefeweizen, etc.
Typically, I remain within style guidelines but branch off to make to my desires. To revitalize my interest I often try atypical brews such as lemon basil peppercorn ale, sage gruit, kvass, etc. I’m also a hophead at heart so enjoy me some Pale Ales, IPAs and 2x IPAs. Thanks to Brad’s generous donation of a few ounces of hops a few months ago I made an excellent IPA which provided me confidence that I can brew high quality hoppy beers so long as I don’t try saving money by skimping on hops. With that said, I have a few tricks up my sleeve that I’m eager to try once it finally gets warmer.
I have a 4 tap keezer at home which is typically full and often I cant drink through a keg fast enough so help is always welcome.
Homebrewing has been a creative outlet for me along with a means of increasing my scientific knowledge gained from continuous reading of books, magazines and most importantly discussions with fellow homebrewers.
I’ve had a blast talking with you all the past few meetings and look forward to continuing to do so and improving the quality of my beer through collaboration and sharing of ideas/knowledge.

Hey all. I was trying to save up for a new washing machine, as mine was leaking. It was an urgent, stressful expense. I tried some online games to get extra funds, but I had a really bad streak of luck. Just lost, lost, lost. It was so stressful. I found play jonny casino and decided to risk one last, slightly larger bet. I was so nervous. Then, I hit an amazing bonus round. The win was huge. I was screaming. That one win basically funded the new machine. It turned my despair into total excitement.

제주도 여행을 떠났는데 갑자기 비가 와서 숙소에서 할 게 없더라고요. 그래서 앱 광고를 보고 우연히 들어간 곳이었어요. 평소에도 새로운 도전을 즐기는 성격이라 krwin 안에 마련된 다양한 테마의 슬롯 온라인 콘텐츠가 제 눈길을 단번에 사로잡았습니다. 기대했던 것보다 게임 구성이 훨씬 알차고 몰입감이 높아서 계속하게 되더라고요. 그러다 갑자기 예상치 못한 결과가 터진 덕분에 이번 제주도 여행 경비를 전부 뽑고도 남는 큰돈을 벌게 되었습니다. 뜻밖의 횡재에 기분이 너무 좋아져서 남은 일정 동안 맛있는 것만 먹으며 아주 즐겁게 보낼 수 있었네요. 이런 게 바로 여행의 묘미가 아닐까 싶어 정말 만족합니다.
