hey from az

Hello!

I am Ryan from AZ (for now at least). I am new to the forums but have been homebrewing for a little while now. I am hoping to learn to make some better beers and get some new information from the forums. I am looking to go into the homebrewing a little more serious than I have been. Out of the batches that I have made I usually make a Chocolate coffee irish stout. Usually if I am drinking bottled beers they are IPA's.

Thanks!

LHBS - Go see Chuck at What Ale's Ya in NW Glendale, he'll hook you up with your home brewing needs.

+1 on What Ale's Ya and Chuck - good store, okay prices (not the cheapest, but gotta support the locals), and good talking with Chuck

Is there a cheaper one in the area?

The only one I know of is Brewers Connection out in Tempe but any potential savings you'd eat up in time/gas getting there.

the three in the valley have about the same prices - what I meant was that on-line orders can sometimes be cheaper than the LHBS in the valley

You'll have to buy yeast locally or use dry. No F'n way can you get yeast shipped here from now until November without it cooking. Oh the Yeastmanity!

Hey Guys,
Josh from Phoenix here... I just dropped my girlfriend off at the airport and am in the mood to brew up another batch!

Welcome to the forums. I'm brewing (and drinking) a Hefe as I post up here in the Northwest part of the valley.

Welcome brewdude, Chucks shop rocks, along with his brewing knowledge. He has a wide assortment of hops, malts and yeasts.

Josh, I would love to but my rig is under reconstruction.

Welcome to Homebrewtalk.com

There is lots of great info here !!

The major problem with BC, is that the owner, Jeff is an @$$HAT! I cannot properly express his attitude, without getting banned here! And, I should know, since I worked for him for over a year!

Seriously, unless you are buying a carboy, you can get get stuff cheaper at Austin Homebrew. I do!

(Sorry, Whutever, but I cannot in all honesty post a link to that id10t's website!)

No need to apoligize to me Steve, I've never personally been there. I was just trying to answer the question if there were other HBS here in the Valley.
