Wanted to say hi

Post by Calfj60 »

Good morning,

I was searching around for beer clubs and found your website, my name is Tim and I've been drinking great craft beer for years now. My buddies keep encourageing me to try brewing my own. So I've really started thinking about it.

I brewed one batch in the mid 90's that was ok. It wasn't good enough to try again so I just stuck with commercial beer. I'm looking at trying to start small but as with anything I do, I tend to get carried away quickly. I took a class at Northern Brewer in Milwaukee last month and now am trying to figure out what my first beer to brew should be? I have plenty of bottles but with a home built three tap kegerator am thinking why not just keg?

Someone help me please :P

Welcome!

If you're already set up for kegging, then just go with kegging. Bottling is a pain. You can also bottle off a keg, so if there's reasons you want to bottle, kegging doesn't stop you (and it's actually better, as you can have clearer beer when you force-carbonate in the keg).

Where are you located?

Please note that the meeting location has changed to the Anaheim location of the Out of the Park Pizza. I would hate to have new guys show up for their first meeting at the wrong location.
