I'm visiting Atlanta for some job training over the next couple days, any places you recommend?

Before bottling my first batch, an Autumn Amber Ale from Midwest, I cold crashed for a couple days and noticed the beer is pretty clear but has very little yeast in the bottles themselves, adding to the carbing time. I just bottled my Caribou Slobber Brown ale from Northern and did not cold...

I just wanted to throw a shoutout to Austin HomeBrew Supply. I ordered a 24 pack of bottles tuesday and I got all 24, unbroken with an awesome recipe pad for my future batches today. Granted I only live 3 hrs away in DFW, for the speed and efficiency, I highly recommend any newbies, such as...

Just started my first batch last Friday and I'm already addicted. Getting ideas for my next batch, I can't wait. These forums are amazing with so much info and help, I really appreciate it and look forward to many new batches. To any in the DFW area, cheers! :mug:
