Hello from TX

[Dr_Deathweed]

Hello all,

I am a new brewer from College Station, TX and have jumped in with both feet despite my wife’s protests. I thought myself a pretty smart guy, with a large background in microbiology, sterile technique, culturing, etc. and I have always enjoyed beer, so I figured I would just start making my own! Well… after making my first batch and doing some additional reading I have decided that I am not as omnipotent as I would like and I need help! I stumbled upon this forum looking for ways to keep my fermentation cool and found so much more! I am still full of questions, a lot of it is very n00b stuff, and I would be immensely thankful if ya’ll could help me out. Thanks!

Hey, welcome aboard. I'm here in aggieland and would be more than willing to show you the ropes. Send me a PM or email and we can set it up. BTW, here's a few pics from a brew day a while back where I did the same thing with Reidstav. Drinking that delicious oatmeal stout now.

Thanks! that would be awsome. I may wait until I keg this first batch though, if I have someone show me more than I am willing to absorb before then, I will just worry and fret over what I really cant do anything about anyways. I already have a running tally of mistakes that I made, Im ust hoping my first brew comes out drinkable Also, is there any kind of homebrew club or orginization here in BCS? I knew a couple people around here that used to brew, but they have moved on to other locations.

No, as a matter of fact, there's only two other people I know of here that brew. If we had a local homebrew shop I suspect that would be different.

Anyway, good luck with that first beer. I bet it'll be just fine. The offer stands whenever you're ready. I had a long-time brewer help me get started. It made all the difference in the world.

Cheers

Just made my first batch and working on my second. There is a wealth of information here. I don't know what we'd do without the internet....

Welcome aboard

Happy brewing....
