Moving Beyond Mr Beer - Durham, NC

[Snortbeast]

Hey folks -
Great forum!

I've made several batches using Mr. Beer's 2.5 gl kit, and they've done well but I want to start making my own beer.

Lots of confusion about ingredients and recipes (like how do I make a 5 gal batch when malt extract comes in 3.3lb cans?!?)

But I'm today's the day to forge ahead.

Happy to be here!

Sup neighbor! Just moved to the Durham area myself and hope to get brewin here in the next week or so. Any good homebrew shops around here?

Welcome to the area! I'm in Cary and go to both Bull City Brewing and American Brewmaster. Both shops are good for different reasons. Also check out some of the local home brew clubs such as Trub or Carboy.

I live in Princeton but frequent Raleigh/durham area. I've yet to go but there is bull city home brew shop in Durham and I'm sure they would help with everything you need. I started brewing with supplies and a kit from American brewmaster in Raleigh. They also have a helpful staff and the kits are a great easy way to start brewing. Also check out sams quik shop in Durham for a HUGE selection of craft beer. That place is heaven for beer lovers.
