I thank you all for your very sound advice and I will put that cart back behind the horse for now. Brew days will fit in very well with tending to my smokers and the two end results will go we'll together. I'm sure this wont be the last of my newb questions.

Basically I have nothing, but I also have some extenuating circumstances that should stretch my purchasing power and between myself and those friends I have helped countless times there is no DIY project that's out of reach, and a green light from the wife goes along ways. So my list is really...

I've been saving my pennies working the extra jobs even have some brownie points from the wife, so I'm ready to get serious about what equipment to buy to get started. My question is whether a conical fermentor is a good place to splurge given that I have around $1000 to spend on equipment. I...

After going back and forth for about a year now I'm ready to take the plunge anyone have time to help a rookie get started, I'd be willing to buy a few rounds in exchange for some advice.

Nice racks..

I bet you Really miss our wonderful winters Mark

I've sweat miles of cooper pipe over the years and I find the Mapp (yellow can) gas works better for the smaller jobs. I also use a damp towel to take a swipe around the fitting to smooth things out.

One of the curses of being handy with tools is you tend to go over board on the extras .The changes that have been initiated by the idea of brewing indoors have added very little to the over all costs. I do most of the real cooking in our house so the new range was a bit of an extravagance but...

Let me know when your coming to town maybe I'll have something to sample by then.

new store at King and Sylvania Ave not a full general store just food and beer etc. We may have to order up a case of chips for the first home brew tasting but that is a ways off, looking at this remodel job.

Find yourself a women that's into say... horses, then have yourselves about 3 kids then you'll be so glad to be drinking anything you won't notice it's alcohol infused yellow water.. nuff said

nothing to worry about guys . I've had the two hearted but never heard of crab chips enlighten me... Also just got in from the newer Anderson's by my house trying out some Warbird Mustang tonight.

I'll have to check on the purifier does that eliminate the pre boiling of the water. I did put a floor drain in the laundry room/dog room and I could use washable bath paint on the ceiling, might be cheaper to bring the JD690 in and just start over from the foundation.. And I thought fly...

I'm doing all the work on this project myself so adding a few extras is easy enough. I planed the materials around cleaning up after 3 kids. Cast iron sink. Quartz countertops and heated tile floors. I did already buy a gas range so that will work out good and a high neck pull of faucet is must...

The wife made me promise that before I get to involved with this new hobby that I finish the kitchen remodel that is in it's fourth week. I'm at the stage where the demo is over and I'm putting things back together which of course got me to thinkin.. is there anything that can make a space more...

I'll be hitting the Anderson's tonight for some ribs for the weekend and perhaps something new to go with them. Clipper

Thanks for the info gentlemen I'm at Cabela's a lot anyway I'll look that one up. If there's a local drink and BS night I'd be interested. Clipper

Glad to know there's some experienced folks near by for when I get myself in trouble. The closest place I'm finding to get a real look at equipment is Ann Arbor, anyone have any other suggestions. Clipper

Thanks for the welcome Guys, I found the site the old fashioned way Google. I'm from the northwest part of the state near Toledo, I'll try to fix that in my profile. Clipper

Hello All, Totally new to home brewing,but my obsession with BBQ and Smoking (The brisket and ribs kind) has lead me to brewing as a natural extension. Tending the pit is thirsty work. I'll save my noob questions till I have spent more time looking around. Clipper
