Hey everyone, just joined today and started home brewing a few days ago. I live in Falcon, Colorado.
Been enjoying craft beers for quite some time now and kept tossing around the idea to make my own. I pulled the trigger and bought a home brewery kit from William's Brewing. Saturday night I boiled up the wort and an American IPA from their kit is in the fermenter. Actually a little nervous as it doesn't seem to be bubbling out of the airlock as much as I expected. But it looks like there's a foamy head in the bucket (thinking glass carboy now) and there are bubbles in the airlock, just not actively bubbling out. Anyway...I already have decided that I want to upgrade some of my stuff and pick up some things it didn't come with.
A note about me personally. Originally from southern Indiana. Lived a few places, recently retired from USAF active duty. Married with 2 kids. I actually retired out of Colorado Springs last year and moved to Yakima for a job. That place kick started my home brew thoughts again. Ended up moving back here to Colorado on the new year for another job, so goes life.
Looking forward to reading and learning things here since right now I'm full of questions, primarily equipment ones.
