I am also in the Burbank area. I usually brew 2 times a month and do all-grain. If you ever want to get together for a brew day let me know. My setup can do up to a 10g batch.

Not a problem! Here you go. https://www.homebrewtalk.com/showthread.php?t=21131

I don't post a lot here, more of a lurker than anything but I felt like I owed a thank you to all the people who do post here regularly. I have learned so much from all your posts, turned what were once stressful brew days into relaxing fun days that I look forward too, went from extract to...

Woooohoooo! I will save it for when you get your system finished so I can come check out how that bad boy works. Also to respond to your first post to me, yes I am already learning how addictive the potential is with this hobby. I am already planning out the next 12 months worth of purchases...

:drool: So you are inviting me over this weekend to check out your setup right?

Awesome thanks Tom!

Thanks for posting! Seems like there is a good group of us from LA. Everyone I have met so far has been very welcoming and helpful. I just posted a photo log on Reddit this past Sunday and got some really great advice in the comments. If you want to check it out you can see it here...

Yeah that is pretty close! Heck if you want to try one once I get them bottled and carb I would gladly throw one your way to try out. I actually had to run back over to the shop in Eagle Rock today as I realized when I was going to put the stopper/airlock in that my 3-piece was slightly...

Thanks! I actually already started cleaning my other water jugs to fill up at the local RO water station. I realized this morning that was one thing I hadn't prepared and was reading on it so I am glad you and others chimed in here about it confirming my suspicions. Definitely going to try...

Thanks. I appreciate the help yesterday. I was a bit overwhelmed walking in yesterday haha. Glad I have such a welcoming/helpful shop to work with. I am sure I will be visiting often moving forward.

I was at Eagle Rock Home Brewing yesterday! Were you the guy that helped me figure out what the hell I was doing? I bought the Kilkenney Irish Red Ale.

I won't disagree with you there but with the star gates they just installed its a 5 minute drive to LA (aka North Hollywood). Thanks for the welcome!

Here is the recipe I will be using. Kilkenney Irish Red Ale Ingredients Amount Item 6.00 lb Pale Liquid Extract 6.00 oz British Crystal - 50-55L 4.00 oz Caramel 10 - 10L 4.00 oz Roasted Barley...

Good call. I may hold onto that recipe for a while and find something else as it isn't really a favorite of mine anyway and would like to make something that won't be ruined by the currently fluctuating Southern California weather.

Yeah definitely! A blonde ale comes with the kit but I may go buy the ingredients for a red ale or something a little darker. Not trying to go complicated but would like to get something easy that fits my taste a little more. Once I figure it out I will post. The kit will be here Thursday.
