Hello from Fort Wayne

I've brewed a few extracts and partial mashes with limited success.

I helped a friend brew an all grain and after getting some info from this site and youtube I'm going to brew an IPA all grain in a couple of weeks.

did you grow up in fort wayne? my wife is from there

Where is your LHBS up there?

Greetings!

Welcome

...beat ya to it DT...

Hi All,
Noob from Elkhart, IN but currently at Purdue. I've made two extracts from kits and just bought supplies to do a Brown Ale. Random question, is it better to buy from sites or go to a homebrew store. The best closest is in Indianapolis, near an hour drive.

Welcome, fellow Fort Wayner! (Is that what we call ourselves? Maybe Fort Waynian? Is it obvious I wasn't born and raised here?) Either way, there is a wealth of knowledge here and you'll be glad you found it.

BTW, the LHBS is Brewer's Art supply on Wells street. Francie is very helpful!

Welcome to HBT!

Welcome aboard!

I lived in FW for a couple years, used Brewers Art Supply soely... now I live in Indianapolis, and cannot afford the LHBS here, so I shop BrewmastersWarehouse for most things. Welcome...

There are brewers popping up all over in Fort Wayne. If you ever want any help or to get involved with the local brewers shoot me a pm.

Welcome

I was at Brewer's Art Supply today. It's for sale.

Welcome to HBT, I pass by Ft Wayne 4 times a year or so and always try to stop in at Mad Anthony's when I do.

I've never been in there but my in-laws live up there and I am trying to get my father-in-law started. Next time I go up there I'll have to check this store out

Oh, man, now I feel bad for recently placing two $100 orders at AHS and Brewmaster's Warehouse. Curse your 10% off sales! Seriously, though, any more details? Is it a going out of business thing, or what? I'll have to swing by there soon to pick some more stuff up.

Also new here and from Fort Wayne. Brewed a kit a few years ago... working on my setup now for all-grain brewing. Planning to Keg in the next week to 10 days.

A buddy and I are purchasing dual setups and we're planning to brew together.

I don't think they are going out of business, however Francine's father, Dan, who worked at the store died a last month from cancer.

Francine was not at the store when I was there yesterday. A guy name Joe was working. He was very helpful.
