Hello from a quiet Michigan newbie

[sailrat]

I just wanted to say hello and to thank the long time brewers on this site. I've brewed about 4-5 batches and am still learning the basics.


The FAQ threads on this site are incredibly helpful. Thanks to all the "old-time" regulars who have made making beer easier for me.

Brad

Hi fellow poho neighbor!!!! Welcome

 

[Jim Karr]

Welcome from the SW corner of the Mitten............Glad you're here!

 

[sailrat]

Hey Revvy. How's it going?

I look forward to learning about this brewing stuff, and I have seen your experience reflected on these boards. I look forward to meeting you, one of these days.

I've learned more in the last 5 days from reading some of these threads than in the previous 5 months, brewing my own beer. This is a great board.

Welcome to HBT from Northville!

 

[Revvy]

So where do you shop? Do you go to Todd's Store?

Welcome to the forum!

Welcome! There should be a sticky that states that beginners need to read all of Revvy's threads and posts! (well, ALMOST all) The man has a wealth of great info and suggestions, and some very sage advice worth following.

If it were up to me he would be the first living person to be canonized! Move over Saint Wenceslaus, here comes Saint Revvy, the patron saint of noob home brewers!

Oh him......

Go to Todd's shop, he has more beer stuff, and is less knowitally. The guy at vinmondo has a bad rep, not just in town but within the LHBS community. Plus he doesn't really have a lot of beer stuff on hand. I only do there on emergencies.

It's inside his printing business. He carries some grains in bulk (which I talked him into) and is a hellova nice guy. The only bad thing is his hours are sort of loose, so it's often best to email him of call ahead. I usually hit him up through facebook to see what time he is going to be there on any given day. He can order stuff for you as well.

Also for small stuff and at odd hours even is The Spirit Shoppe
3550 Gratiot Avenue, Port Huron, MI 48060-2247 On the same aisle as there pretty decent beer selection is some homebrew supplies, mostly kits, but bottle caps, small gadgets, dry yeast , hops (at a great price) and some grain and extract. It's a good resource if you run out of bottle caps at 9pm on a Sunday night and need caps, and since it's a liquor store it is still going to be open. Or if you forget to make a starter and need DME.

 

[sailrat]

Thanks Revvy. I have heard of his store. I'll stop by sooon. I'm looking to make a batch in the next week or so.

 

[Revvy]

Just send him a message or call, it's hunting season so he might be out for the whole period. I don't know. I haven't talked to him in a week or so.

Do you ever go to Sue's in st, clair? A bunch of brewers hang out there on thursday nights for the 5 dolalr burger/microbrew special. I usually hold court there from about 6:30 to 9 pm.

No I haven't been there. St Clair is a bit out of my circle of hangouts. It sounds like I should try it.
