Hello from Charlotte, NC

Drinking my first home made brew right now!

Got some barley and rye getting ready to make my own malt for my next batch.

Used to work with a guy at Adelphia Cable in Rocky Mount who made beer, should have gotten into it then.

What are you drinking?

Welcome!

LOL, I'm not sure what to call it. I started off with this http://www.ehow.com/how_2308422_make-oatmeal-stout.html[/URL
And I didn't have half the ingredients and so I changed the ingredients.
Here is my label with the Ingrediants list

Welcome

Welcome from the Sandhills.

That's quite an ingredients list! Welcome from the triangle. Alternative beverage is a great HB store. You Charlotte folk are very lucky.

Thanks all! I'm not blind or dead yet so success!!

It's a great store. The website sucks. But, it's a great store. Both of my brothers live in the near Charlotte. Whenever I visit, I try and sneak off to Belmont to visit the store. It's in an old factory with rows and rows of shelves full of some really cool stuff.

They give discounts to club members from all over the state. Charlotte has a great home brew club also: The Carolina BrewMasters

Thanks they are closed though according to the website.

I just checked the site and I didn't see anything about them being closed.

Hello from Rock Hill!

Alternative Brewing is NOT closed. I buy all my stuff from them. They are a great HBS. They are on South Blvd. just a little north of Woodlawn. They are in the back and the sign just says beer hobbies or something like that. Their Website gives good directions.

Anyway, welcome neighbor!

Welcome

Welcome from Durham!

Finally made it down to the store it was great!

Welcome!

If you make your own malt, just make sure you keep it moist but not wet. It will grow mold if it is too wet. And keep it pretty warm so it will grow faster. There are a few threads on here and online about malting.

BODWB - glad to see you made it to AB. I was just there last week and picked up a new 5G carboy and a few small items. Great place, huh?

I'd say welcome from Charlotte, but i'm new here myself. I've read alot of posts over time but I just registered this week.

Good to see you we will soon have a new location in Columbia
