Favorite Books: Complete Joy of Brewing, Tasting Beer-Randy Mosher

Home Brewing Biography: I was stationed in England while in the Air Force and developed a taste for fresh English Ales. When I returned home, I discovered you could not get these beers in Georgia. My Dad, the winemaker, convinced me that beer could be made at home, so we tried it with no real instructions except for what was on the can. I am very thankful to the people in my life who have been willing to share their brewing, mead, and wine making knowledge with me. I cannot my thanks enough. The only way I know of to in some way re-pay their generosity is by sharing the knowledge.
Future Brews: Experimenting with Gluten Free brews, various Meads, and Apple Cider from fresh apples.
Secondary: Centennial IPA, ESB, Experimental Party Gyle
Bottled: French Saison and Belgian Saison. Cask Conditioned English Ale. A whole inventory of Meads and Wines. Since they need to age, you tend to have more in the cellar doing just that.
Kegged: I don't keg as much as I'd like to. Am looking for a good used fridge to build up a kegorator-built-for-4.

People often get Extract Brewing with Specialty Grains confused with All-Grain Brewing. I would
also suggest taking some brewing classes if they are available in your area. If not, check out

If you enjoy these wine yeast (Lalvin and Redstar) try looking at Vintiners Harvest.

As a home brewing supply store we want to know which yeast are you using the most? Do you
prefer White Labs or Wyeast? Tell us your favorite types? If we don't have it we'll stock it.

That's the beauty of flat rate shipping. A well organized store can generally get your order
out the same day and you don't have to leave the convenience of your own. Although it is nice
to be able to...
