Hello from Omaha

Hey everyone.

Just got into homebrewing about a month or so ago (on a whim). Now I'm falling into the addiction extremely fast. Since I'm pretty limited on space (apartment dweller) I've taken a step back and decided to do 1 gallon baby batches. My idea is that it will allow me to experiment and figure out what new equipment to get and what my homebrewing goals will be.

I really wish I had more space so I could do more! Nevertheless, I'm brewing every weekend so I can up my skill-level and make some really good/special beer in time for the holidays!

I can't wait for fall so it'll cool down, then I can make some lager!

I'm from Lexington, NE. I started homebrewing a year ago and have done 9 five gallon batches. It is a great hobby and I'm really turning into a "BEER SNOB". I hope you have a much fun as I do brewing.

I have been using a shop in Lincoln (Kirk's Home Brew) to get my brew kits and supplies. Kirk is a great guy and has been most helpful. Is there a home brew shop in Omaha?

Yes, it's called Cornhusker Beverage. Here's the site: http://www.homebrewkits.net/

They are pretty good and helpful.

Theres another place right around the corner called Fermenters Supply. He's been there forever. More yeast selection and he'll grind your grain for you. A little more specialized and maybe just a bit more expensive. I go to both places.

Kirk's Homebrew in Lincoln, NE is a great place. Kirk has several kits of his own design plus has can answer any questions you may have.
