Hello from Central Pa

State College to be exact.

Bottled my first my batch and it tastes quite good for how little I knew what I was doing. My 2nd batch is about a week into its fermentation and I already am looking at recipes for my 3rd. I'm in a small apartment so I don't have room for a lot of equipment but I can already see myself upgrading once I have the space.

If the beer tastes this good in the beginning I can only imagine how it will taste in a year or so.

Good to see some PA locals around here.

I drive through State College often for my job, is there a good LHBS around there? I try to hit up as many as possible when I'm on the road.

Sadly there are no LHBS in the State College area.

The nearest one I know of is in Altoona: http://www.oakspringwinery.com/brew.htm

I can't vouch for its quality since I have never been there but it looks like they carry a decent selection.

I am guessing the market for home brewers in State College is small due to the large student population.

However, although its not a LHBS, check out Zeno's Pub in downtown State College. It is the best place for great beer in town.
