welcome to your new obsession!
I'm originally from Garland but out in Sulphur Springs now. I think u have a lhbs in Richardson & at least a few brewers from that area on this forum

Welcome! Soon you'll be running downstairs like a kid on Christmas morning to see if yesterday's brew is bubbling yet.

One piece of advice I wish someone had given me when I started brewing...back when 'Friends' was in primetime:

Participate/attend/join a homebrew club in your area. You'll speed up the learning curve and probably find folks who will let you sit in during brew days. Maybe even find another newbie who will share some of the startup costs. We're a friendly bunch.

Thanks for the welcome and tips! I may stop at a brew shop today to browse. I'm really interested in Mead so need to find a good relatively inexpensive source for honey!

Welcome from a Winter Texan, way down south from you.

Honey is expensive, especially my favorites like tupelo honey and orange blossom, but maybe you can find some at a good price with a bit of searching.

Welcome, you will enjoy the new hobby.

I agree you should try and visit a club especially on a brew day. We have a few and it is a great way to learn. If my new system gets here soon I might also have some stuff available to start.

Welcome to the forum, from Minnesota!

BTW, check out Dutch Gold for honey. I bought 10 lbs. of orange blossom last year for a mead, and the price was very reasonable.

Howdy from CenTex.

Ill check them out thanks! Sams Club had some today that wasnt too bad, 15lbs for about $80 but wont be doing that every few weeks lol.

Yeehaw from a blow-in yeehaw

TX is rife with great LHBS and upcoming big festivities.


Both links are simply places and events I wish I'd known about sooner.

Well Ive got some blackberry liqueur going and last night I got a carboy of honey mead going strong. Hoping this weekend to start on an Amber Ale but have some questions for my LHBS on the extract I got and Im waiting on my brew pot to be delivered.

Welcome to the forum. Answers to just about everything you can come up with are on here somewhere! I'm in Texas out near Rockwall, but originally from North Dallas and before that Richardson.
