Green as spring grass newbie.... Greetings

[jim_CdY]

Morning fellow brewers, just a quick note to introduce myself, I'm completely new to HB having only brewed one failure, drinkable, but .... Based on my many failures I am now waiting to keg my 2nd beer later this week having corrected most of the things I did incorrectly on the first batch. I opted, with the encouragement of a brewer friend, to purchase the Grainfather (GF) brew system along with the GF conical fermenter along with a host of 'other things'. My logic, while possibly flawed, was to get good equipment and cry once and move on. I also plan on purchasing the FermZilla to allow more than one beer to be underway at the same time.

Additionally, I was lucky in that I purchased 4 'corny' kegs from a friend, the extended plan is to either build out a Keezer or purchase 3 spigot Kegarator style unit.

My wife and I are huge fans of IPA's, especially SN's - Hop Bullet, that said we are also fans of German beers along with, heck almost anything that has beer in the title! I may troll more than post, there is a ton of knowledge to be had just by reading what others have posted. As with other forum's that I'm on I discovered long ago that the search function is my best friend.

Happy beer making to everyone !

Hey there welcome to the forum and the hobby. I have the Grainfather as well . It's a really nice system . Download the app if you haven't done so . You make your recipes and the water calculations are dead on .

Greetings fellow brewers, I now expect I posted this thread, in the incorrect place but I'm here anyway. I'm in southwester NC, sadly there are no clubs or meetings near me, but this forum will do just fine as my 'cyber friends'
