New Homebrewer in SC

Hi all, I just made my 1st Homebrew using extract, an IPA. It turned out pretty well and now (ready or not) I'm diving headfirst into All Grain brewing. I just bought a Coleman Xtreme 50 Qt cooler that I'm planning on converting into an MLT. I've read a good bit on the subject for the past couple weeks (mostly forums posts) and I think I'm ready to do this!! I'm going to brew an Arrogant Bastard Clone, wish me luck.

Good luck! And welcome to the forum, and to brewing!

Congrats ! Where in SC are you ? I'm on John's Island.

Welcome to HBT! I'm in Clemson, SC myself, but make the trip out to Greenville often to stop by Thomas Creek. Also for the Greenville Beer Exchange. Which, if you haven't been, I highly recommend it. Not homebrewing, but lots and lots of beer!

Good luck on your quick transition to AG.

Awesome! I lived in Clemson before and after going to college there, I love that town. I actually live in Spartanburg now and actually work at Thomas Creek on the bottling side, and yes, the Beer Exchange is pretty awesome. Thanks for all the hospitality.

Did you feel any of Irene's impact at all where you are?

Good luck with the brew!

Fortunately, we live in upstate SC, almost 250 miles from the coast, we haven't seen any sign of rain or wind where I am.

Working at Thomas Creek! Wow, you get to go the the LHBS everyday. Is the bottling at the same location as the brewery? That would be dangerous for me-to just buy a little something new after work.

I'm in Greenville as well. Welcome to the forum!

Welcome. I am in Lexington SC and have been looking for just the right location to open up the new shop. Houston is still handling the online orders in the transition. - Jeff
