Cheers from Santa Monica

[RKrizman]

Hi all,

New to this forum and to brewing. After tasting my friends' home brew for years I finally took the plunge. Culver City Brewing helped me out with a 2 carboy setup and some recipes, and I just opened my first batch, an amber ale that came out much better than I thought it would. Just bottled a Sierra Nevada style IPA yesterday and am counting the days until Jan. 11.

I guess brewing beer is pretty zen, because definitely the hardest part is the "not doing". (as in, "don't open that yet")

Thanks for the forum and all the advice,
-R

Hey there, welcome aboard! Although I've been a "valley boy" my whole life, I was born in Santa Monica...back then, St John's was the hospital closest to the valley! I still love the area, it's one of the nicest spots in L.A.

I've never been to that shop, but I've heard good things. My friend shops there, and joined Pacific Gravity, the affiliated club.
