[Hellsgate] A Brag

[Ruiz]

Good Morning to all,
 
It is a beautiful Thursday morning and I wanted to take a moment to share about one of our own. I want to start spreading the great things some of our members are doing and today is a good day to begin. 
I received a phone call the other day from my apprentice, and she was excited about starting her first batch of mead. She talked for over thirty minutes about the process, the fun she had, and the anticipation of waiting on it. She then told me it was Stephen that she called to get started and answer some questions. 
Stephen influence and love of brewing has spread from our little group to other groups in the kingdom. She isn't the first person outside our group that Stephen has influenced, he has reached people in Oklahoma.
Inside our group he has helped Havaar start a batch of mead, his influence is felt and smelt in our house as well, Timur is waiting and watching his mead every day, Michael just last night started his second batch, which is birch beer, a soda. One of our newer people has plans on purchasing their brewing kit on their next payday and getting started.
He started the unofficial brewing guild and it is doing well and is active.
Stephen's kindness, generosity, enthusiasm, love of sharing, and love of brewing is felt by everyone, even people that isn't interested in brewing. Stephen is an asset to our group and is loved and respected by everyone.
Keep an eye on this man, he has only started his fun in the SCA and I believe he will go far.
