Going to spend some time reading this week. My dad is in the CICU at UAB so it will give me something to do. Anything online worth reading? I have the john Palmer how to brew book now.

Went with the alabrew $60 two bucket set and how to brew book anything other than recipe kit and bottle that I need before I give this a go?

Bought a 26qt turkey fryer with burner (bayou classic) brand new off Craigslist for 50 bucks yesterday. Today I'm trying to decide between the hop city and alabrew better bottle starter kit.

Google, eBay and Craigslist yes lol

Know of any home brew beers that do not require cold fermentation that might get close to a shiner bock?

Just looking down the road about the mash tun.

My wife and I love shiner. I lived in Texas for a few months.

I really liked the guy at Hop City he was very helpful and their prices seemed ok. They also stay open til 10.

I have two 5 gallon screw top coolers would one be large enough to make a mash tun?

Yes, I want to stay away from chilled fermentation. I've been looking at craigslist keeping an eye on turkey fryers and pots. My question about better bottles is are they going to last long term? A newbie question here. I do not care for bitter beer. Even a simple brown from Good People...

I'm looking at a turkey fryer. Unfortunately I can't this weekend I have season tickets for a local college football and my wife has to work but I may take you up on that sometime!

I go thT way when I go to some town in Arkansas. Hop City was helpful. Plastic kit 75 glass kit 95 I'm on the fence about which to get.

I travel all over the country for work so I plan to make note of the good lbh's at least east of the Mississippi. Read about one in Jackson, MS but didn't have time to stop today but I will be at Hop City in 30 min to check it out.

I really appreciate all of the helpful info!

Hope to stop by later today.

Hop City is probably the easiest. It's downtown somewhere right?

Would you recommend alabrew or hop city as a place to stop and get a little education on equipment? I'd rather start small but with quality stuff then add to it as I go and know what I like. Another question for all grain in the future is it necessary to mill your own grain or will the lbh do it...

Yes I'd be interested in brewing with someone especially as I'm learning. I may stop by alabrew or hop city on my way back from Louisiana tomorrow.

Ok thanks I will check into that!

So would you recommend I just pick up a basic kits that's just the buckets for my first batch then add a carboy later?
