I Brewed Today... It was Awesome!!!

[Wildrebel]

Hey my name is Erik and I live in the great town of Oxford Mississippi, home of the Ole Miss Rebels. I brewed my first batch today and had a blast. I am already hooked on brewing beer and I don't even know if my first batch will taste good. This site is awesome and I hope to find some great recipes here!

I'm in the same boat, buddy. I brewed two extract brews and by the time I was just tasting my first bottle, I was already getting set up for all-grain! Now I've got two all-grain brews fermenting and I'm planning on making it three this weekend, and I still haven't tasted anything other than my first batch. It's an addiction for sure!

If you think brewing was awesome, wait until you drink it.

Greetings fellow Mississippian! Awesome feeling getting that first batch done. HBT makes it a lot easier to be involved in this hobby for those of us in places like Misisipi. At least you're not too far from the brew shop in Memphis.

I suggest you check out the msbrew blog, it's a google site can't remember the addy right now. Also more importantly check out raiseyourpints.com the organization trying to change our state's antiquated beer laws, including legalizing homebrewing!

Roll Tide & good luck with the new hobby.

Schlante,
Phillip

Thanks MVKTR2. I'll check both of those out right away.

Welcome to HBT!

And then wait until you can drink some of your beer while brewing some more!

Welcome to the addiction! 1.5 months ago my wife bought me a $100 kit with a blonde ale ingredients box, and thought that would "settle" my craving to make beer. Aahahahahaha oh how she was wrong. Since then, I've made 3 more extract batches, a batch of Apfelwein, and just today bought the ingredients for 4 AG batches (I just bought everything I'll ever need for AG brewing in my garage...like $400...sheesh). In all, I'd say I've blown a good $800 on brewing in 1.5 months. But hey, the equipment is now all purchased, so it's really not that bad anymore.
