Greetings From Los Angeles

[Pachyderm]

Hello all!

My name is Andrew, I'm a brand spanking new Homebrewer living in Hollywood.

I'm 27 and I work in the fine wine and spirits industry, but my passion has always been for beer.

I'm here to learn, meet people, and have a good time. You've already helped me out tremendously with my first batch. Can't wait to meet more of you!

-Andrew

Welcome! You'll find lots of helpful and friendly people here, happy brewing

Welcome to HBT Andrew!
What did you brew for your first batch?

 

[Pachyderm]

I bought my first recipe from the Home Beer, Wine and Cheese Shop in Woodland Hills, CA. It's an English Porter.

I'm looking forward to the results, but I'm an IPA guy, so I'm just looking forward to learning and brewing new things. The guy at the shop said that this is an easy brew to start with. I almost screwed it up, so who knows...

Thanks for the welcome...I can't wait to share my experience with all of you!

Hey Andrew, welcome aboard from another L.A. brewer! That's a great shop, they will certainly help guide you in the right direction. I generally stop in there every few weeks.

Porter is a good choice for a first brew, pretty straightforward and dark & flavorful enough to conceal any minor mistakes.

Welcome from another Angelino! Let us know how this one turns out and we can definately help on further brews. Good luck!

You tell me who's got the power, the Blacks, the Whites or just the gun tower?

Another LA brewer, nice. Welcome. We've got to get some regional action going around here (maybe there is and I just didn't notice?)

Maltose Falcons

Yeah, I've thought about it. If you have any insight please feel free to PM.

 

[Pachyderm]

Thanks for making me feel welcome.

Yeah, I'm thinking about joining the falcons, but I feel like a boy scout without any badges. Is it as cool as I've heard?

Welcome from another LA homebrewer. I live in Santa Clarita and make the occasional drive to Woodland Hills LHBS to stock up. My advice, go AG as soon as you can.
