Hello from Indy

Been lurking for a little while figured I would say hi. I made my first 5 gal extract batch last weekend after doing extensive reading (John Palmer and this site) And am already planning my AG rig (got kegs lined up, working on a fridge for fermentation chamber, grain mill, ect). I work at a steel mill (bar mill) so I have access to well, steel in the bar form, a TIG rig as well as process controls engineers. I gotta say that I'm pretty geeked about my new hobby and was pretty happy to find a place with people just as OCD as I am.

Welcome! there have been a lot of folks from indy joining lately, I like it!

I'm still new too, however, welcome and have fun.. Hope you have a sponge for a brain because this site is the bomb for information. Only 3 brews down but the first one was awesome and I got hooked. Now I'm scared that it is going to become a sickness that I can't shake. I'm addicted more to the brewing, than the consumption. I need a shrink. Have fun and read lots.

So you liked the brewers best american light ? Thats what is fermenting right now. I plan on doing a second brew this weekend as with as many people who know about this I have a feeling it wont be around long.

Welcome Indy brewer!! Glad to have you. If you are ever thirsty, stop on by CCB!

Yes, it was slightly hoppy in comparison to the sweetness but even my wife loved it. Listen to the people on the forum about letting the beer age. It makes all the difference in the world but I'm still new. Don't listen to me, brew and enjoy. I was too anxious but that didn't deter me. I wish I had 50 gallons just lying around....LOL so I could age it and pick which brew to drink now. BTW, I kegged and force carbonated first time. My head hurts thinking about how much I have read on this forum. But trust me, its all worth it.

Welcome
