Summits Wayside Tavern.

Feel free to bring mead samples if you got em. We are are an active club with a good mix of AG and extract brewers. All brewing skill levels are welcome (even if you are thinking about starting). We also organize bulk grain buys twice a year for those of you who posted previously.

Oh and I put the miles on my 2004 HD lowrider.

[beyonder74]

I am in Canton too. Good to hear there are others in the area. I have been brewing for about 3 years and just started all grain on my last batch. I would love to meet up with others in the area. I travel with my job and am usually out of town Monday through Thursday.

There is a posting on Craigslist where some guy in Canton is selling everything but won't part it out. $3000 for a "complete" all grain system. Anyone who knows what to do with an all grain system already has most of that stuff and doesn't need buckets, carboys, capper, etc. Us GA brewers need to get together and see if we can get this stuff. He has quite a few kegs, but won't break this stuff up. I want those kegs, co2, regulators.

Already tried to talk to the guy. Has no interest in really getting rid of it I think, but who knows.

Oh, and newish brewer here, Newnan/PTC area.

 

[duckredbeard]

You getting those kegs from the guy in Hampton?

 

[FATC1TY]

More than likely. Just got into kegging. Bottling irritates me!

 

[duckredbeard]

I was out of homebrewing for a long time and more financially responsible when I came back. I never even considered bottling this time. Got 5 cornies now and expect to have 4 beers on in about 3 weeks. Need more shanks!

 

[FATC1TY]

Yeah, I have 2 kegs now, but figure I could get more to cycle beers out. When I share beers, it's with other craft beer drinkers at work, so I just bring them growlers and swap them out with them. Helps keep the beer flowing!

I see someone else from Newnan. I think Ive only seen two other since the whole time Ive been on the board. I'm in Sharpsburg.

Yeah, I'm in Newnan. I buy all my stuff over at Just Brew It, in Fayetteville. The guy, Doug, is a really nice guy. Great place to buy from, I just never have time to chat with him and wonder around in the store, he's really helpful. Good prices too, and super fresh ingredients.

Are you in a brew club? I hear there's a club over around here, with members from Sharpsburg/Senoia, to Newnan. I've never been big on club stuff, but might be fun to try and see if there is room to join. I'm a newish brewer, so I think it would be fun to learn.

 

[nocsimian]

Yeah, I shop at Just Brew it as well. Great place and you're right - Doug's been super helpful.

No clue about the club, but Doug is really helpful. Ive gone there for just some bottles and been there talking to him for a few hours. He has some really good recipes too. If you get a chance, you should try and brew his Colorado Light and Tasty. Also his Bottle of Jack is hands down one of the best pumpkin ales.

 

[FATC1TY]

I'm pretty partial to the IPA recipe he has in there, a mini mash I think.

Says it's a great base to just toss in whatever kinda hops you want to experiment with.. I've got one with all Simcoe that is.. really, really good.

I might give the Pumpkin ale a shot too, about that time of year soon!

 

[JustinTman]

I'm also in warner robins do u work on the base?

Not direct, I work off base with a contractor.

Right on are there any brew things going on in are area?

 

[JustinTman]

I think he used to have a shop in Warner Robins, but closed 5-6 years ago. Wish it was still here.

Not that I know about, I'm just getting back into brewing myself after a few years. I'm building a three keggle electric setup right now from kals electricbrewery design, should be ready for the first batch in another week or so.

I've been talking to a few guys about maybe getting a club going one day, thats what finally got me started on the new build, but I don't know of anything around already.

[SteelRinger]

New brewer from West ATL (Dallas, GA).

I have done one extract (a Belgian Wit) that turned out pretty good. At least everyone that drank it liked it. I have also done a couple batches of cider. The 1 gallon dry batch was good for me, but no one else liked it (too dry). The second batch was a big hit at a recent housewarming party. I am doing another 3 gallon batch of that one.

I also have a Founders Breakfast Stout (extract) clone and a Fat Tire (all-grain) clone going right now. The FBS is in the secondary and the FT is in the primary.

Anyway, I would love to meet up with some fellow brewers and swap some beers.

 

[Maxkling]

You wish to share your cider recipe. I havent had good luck with them, and my wife loves commercial style cider.

I find that people that don't like it dry enjoy it cut with a little 7up or sprite chopps
