Hello from Hotlanta

[davesrose]

Or I should say "damp" lanta right now (been a rainy day in Atlanta today). Stumbled on this site while trying to figure out what equipment I needed for getting into AG. Starting today, I'm posting and looking forward to contributing to the group

Hello from Avondale. Don't complain about the rain or it will go hide again for another year.

Welcome

 

[JustDave]

Welcome and glad to have you!

(FWIW, I do AG batches with the basic Bayou 30 quart turkey fryer setup and a Rubbermaid cooler that's been converted to an MLT, if that helps. Cheap and easy, 'cuz that's how I roll. )

Howdy neighbor! I'm right next door to Decatur. Any homebrew meetups around?

RE rain......oh, I'm gearing up for several trips this summer: it always rains when you try to go on a trip

 

[Beerrific]

A couple of us here have tried to meet up a few times and probably will try to again this summer. There is a local club (Covert Hops) that has many members in the are (Decatur specifically). I have been to one meeting and will probably try to go again in the future.

Oh heck yeah! Found the turkey fryer at my local Home Depot.....but a 10 gallon rubbermaid was imposible. Wound up splurging for a mash tun kit that had cooler and false bottom. It also came with another 10 gallon for fly sparging.....but after two brews already, it's warping quite a bit (since I like my sparge water hot hot hot). I think at some point I'm going to go for a stainless pot for holding the sparge water (the plastic cooler for mashing seems very good though). I'm hooked on brewing......my wallet will never recover

Thanks for the tip Beerrific....I'll check them out

I am interested in the EABF; is there a list of which beers will be availabe there? I looked at the Dunwoody Beerfest but didn't see anything I was very interested in .
