Noob also from Tulsa, OK

Obviously, our local Tulsa brew store, High Gravity, did a good job advertising for the Holidays...couple newbies from Tulsa.

Wife got me a starter set and Brewers Best English Ale extract kit. I am looking forward to getting on the first batch this weekend. Spent 1/2 the day today reading on the forum about the ups and downs of different techniques.

I think my first addition to my equipment will be Wort Chiller...immersion I suppose, seems sufficient for what I will be doing. Should I buy ~$55 or build?

I think I will pick up a new brewpot and leave my alum. turkey fryer pot alone.

Great info on the site, I look forward to staying on top of everything.

Welcome to the forum.

Looks like you are well on your way to a sucessful first batch. I'd probably buy the wort chiller. Is it this one http://www.highgravitybrew.com/productcart/pc/viewPrd.asp?idcategory=160&idproduct=1958? That's a pretty decent price and no work for you.

Good call on the brewing pot as well. If you have the money, I'd recommend getting a larger 8-10gal size now, esp if you think you might stick with the hobby.

Hello and welcome to the Forums. My wife bought me the starter set a couple of years ago as well about this time.

You are going to love brewing, it's mucho fun.

I like High Gravity-- they have a great stock of stuff and the people who run it are cool (and I am going there this weekend to spend the gift cert I got for x-mas ) but I got my first kit years ago from Mecca Coffee Company. While High Gravity has a lot of things MCC does not have, MCC has some things HG does not.

Anyway, welcome to another Tulsa homebrewer!
