Hello and Prost! from Ohio

[StuckBrauer]

Hi, My name is Matt, and I'm living in Ohio, about to move to Columbus. If anybody knows of some good local home brew supply stores in Columbus, let me know since I will need to find a new one soon.

My first batch was in the secondary about this time last year. I've brewed about 10 batches since. I just ordered my ingredients for my stout and am making a recipe for a Märzen. I haven't ventured into the world of all grain yet because I don't really have the space or money for new equipment. I like DIY stuff if it will save some money, but haven't really gotten around to trying to figuring out what that looks like as far as converting to all-grain goes.

I tend to use this site a lot, so I figured it was about time I join and make comments and questions as well

Welcome Matt. I'm in Cincinnati, so not too familar with the Columbus brewing supply stores. The only one I've been to in Columbus is here http://www.winemakersshop.com/

Kind of small. Might be OK for extract supplies, but not sure if they have a lot in the all grain area. Not sure what you brew. Hopefully some folks from the Columbus area will chime in.

Welcome Matt!

I'll be honest if your looking to support a LHBS, it might be worth the drive to Dayton. Brewtensils has a great selection and prices are fair. A little more then online, but I buy my grain from them as I don't want to pay shipping on a 55lb sack. www.brewtensils.com The owner separated the brew shop from beer and wine store about 2 yrs ago, they have continued to expand product line and even have Gordon Strong in for a class. Although I missed it
