[Orfy]

Welcome.

You've found the right place.

Keep up the good work.

 

[Flyin' Lion]

Welcome to the forum, lots of friendly advice to be found here.

Where exactly are you returning to? It's always beneficial to post your location because you could be near a fellow brewer.

Cheers.

 

[Cheesefood]

Thank You.

 

[Skeeter]

Yeah man thanks for having more balls than i do. You should find a good bit of information here and i don't know if you can utilize this but you may also be interested in the many brewing podcasts that can be found online. Being a beginner myself i primarily listen to basicbrewing.coms podcast which is pretty decent so far.

 

[Lil' Sparky]

Welcome aboard. This is a great place to find all kinds of info on brewing!

There are several on here, including myself, who are/were military. Get home safe!

 

[dataz722]

Where are you based if you dont mind me asking. I have a couple friends over there as well.

 

[thndrdad]

Good Job and thank you Nitrous. I was over there the first go round. Six months with no Beer at all! That sucked. Have a safe trip home. And keep thinking about that first batch .

Welcome to HBT. There's a lot of information here that will keep you busy researching while brewing yeast is out of pocket. I'm reseaching going all-grain and I've decided and changed my mind quite a few times based off of research/links I've pulled from HBT.

What branch are you in? What camp are you on over there? I spent 22 months between OIF and OEF. Stay safe and dont drink too much the first night you're home.

 

[nitrousjunkie]

But i am currently stationed at pope afb nc. as you can see, im airforce. ive been here in iraq for about 5 1/2 months now. get to head back in about 2 weeks or so, cant wait. only bad thing, when i ordered my equipment, i had it shipped to TX. so im gana have to make a trip back home

 

[nitrousjunkie]

[boothbrew]

Welcome. I too am somewhat new to brewing and have found this site to be very informative.
Have you given any thought to what type of beer you will brew first?

 

[mrkristofo]

Cheers, mate.

Thank you.

Welcome to the board! It will be even better to welcome you home in a few weeks!

I can't think of a better way to spend a few dollars of deployment "savings" than on some brand new homebrew swag.

Tell the Hawg drivers that Yuri says "Hi."

 

[Ó Flannagáin]

I"m up on Sheppard AFB, if you're ever in the area and want a pull from the homebrew kegs just drop a line.

 

[nitrousjunkie]

Nah, my wife is ARMY. They have a dental lab training here for all the services. I'm a contractor, internet development.

Heard of Al Asad? I was there a week and a half ago along with Fallujah and Taqaddum. =) I travel quite a bit with my job. I train satellite communication systems to mainly Marines. I spent some time there in '05 as well as a Marine. Not a bad place to get stuck if you have to be over there. I ate better at that DFAC that's the size of a football field than I eat in the states

 

[nitrousjunkie]

well if you spent any time around the af cargo office, there is a chance we could have crossed paths....small world.....i know what you mean about DFAC III. food here aint that bad, but it has gotten old.
