Hey from Santa Cruz CA

I've been brewing for about a year now, and have been reading these forums regularly for almost as long. After years of enjoying the fruits of other brewer's labor, I decided to try my own hand at it and have been enthralled ever since. While my favorite store (Bevmo!) bought beers tend to be stouts, I enjoy the dubbels and American red ales I've made the most. I just wish school (senior[ish] at UCSC) left me with more time to brew and drink.

I'm hoping to pick up the equipment needed for all-grain batches over the holidays, but waiting it out might be tough. Brewing is one of the few hobbies that never seems to get old.

I noticed the Seven Bridges red ale, you wouldn't happen to shop at even Bridges coop would you? I get most of my stuff from there, though occasionally I shop elsewhere.

Welcome! Say hello to the hiphoppopotumus for me.

I've bought two kits from them, they pretty expensive so I might stick with online for now. I also don't live in Santa Cruz, and don't get out there too often. The last time I was out there was for the WAMM festival.
