Finally Brewing in Centennial, CO!

[Dbash]

Hello everyone,
I've been lurking here for some time now, and I just brewed my 1st Beer on Saturday (10/25). I brewed the "Brew Hut (Dry Dock Brewing Co.) Apricot Blonde" (I figure I'd better start off with something the wife will like). It was so satisfying to go down to the basement the next morning to see that airlock just bubbling away! Just a little info on my setup, I'm currently brewing in a 32 qt kettle with a weldless thermometer and a bazooka screen. I made my own 35' immersion wort chiller, along with a 25' pre-chiller (in a bucket of ice water). I was amazed at how fast the chillers brought my wort from 212* down to 75* (about 15 minutes). Anyhow, I am very excited about this new hobby and I'm already thinking about my next Brew... Milk Stout maybe???

Cheers,
Devin M.

Welcome to the hobby. I live right near the brew hut and visit often. Now that you are in to homebrewing there is no going back. If you want to learn a lot and meet some other brewers in the area you should join a club there are a lot of good ones in the south metro area.

FINALLY! Home brewing has come back to Colorado! (WWE reference) You'll find all the info you can stand around here & then some.

Welcome to the hobby, and the group, from nearby Aurora

I love the Apricot Blonde, the BH guys are very helpful. Homebrewer's night is a great event if you have the opportunity.

Yeah, when I was over there they told me there's an event on November 1st. I'm gonna try to make it over there.
