I know there has to be more than one person in this city that brews their own beers!! We need to get on the map! Please respond.
Reporting in from Morgantown. TJinWV, Slight Indulgence in Morgantown on High Street has a limited amount of supplies on hand, and can order. Also there is a shop in Nutter Fort (The Cellar or something) that sells homebrew supplies. I buy online though, got snubbed by the owner of Slight Indulgence once trying to strike up a conversation about homebrew, apparently his cell phone was more important than a customer.
Metzger,
I'll be brewing Friday as long as my yeast starters all look good. Your welcome to come over and hang out.

I live 4 miles south of Walmart on 119. It's more like alum creek but zoned south charleston.
Hey Metzger,
Know any other brewers in the Beckley area? I'm just outside of Pineville and am looking to find others in this area to get together with, or possibly make a group buy. There have to be more of us in southern WV.

I've got one keggle I built. I use two 10 gal igloo coolers for HLT and MT. I've also get ten hops plants in their first year of growth with five varieties. I should get a good crop still. I've been working on my own IPA recipe which is my goal for this fall when the tap water cools a little more.
Last week I brewed with my plate chiller for the first time which worked very well. Tap water is 80 and I chilled the wort down to 82 as fast as I could drain the keggle.
I want to make a few changes to my system. I want to make an electric HLT and build a RIMS or HERM MT. I also need to modify my burner for my keggle. I burn through a lot of propane during each brew because the burner sits too low for maximum efficiency due to the extra lip on the keggle.
I've been brewing for four years but switched to all grain this year. I already have 6 all grain brews under my belt which all turned out great. I don't know what it is but all the extract brews I did seemed to be missing something. Whatever it is I have it in the all grain brews so I'm very happy with my beers now. I also like the challenge of all grain brewing and trying to hit OG while brewing.
Saturday's I work at 4pm so maybe I could come by during one of your brews, meet you, and share a few brews I've made.
