Mississippi Roll Call

[Abhitchc]

I live in Fondren (Jackson, MS). I have been brewing for a few years now and do all grain. Currently getting my feet wet in HERMS.

Delta Brewing Supply in Greenville is open too.

VJ's Autoparts in Biloxi has been selling homebrew stuff for years. Good prices on the little stuff they have, but really nothing for all-grain. If you need carboys are extract stuff it's not a bad place to go. Besides, were else can you get everything to change your oil and some homebrew stuff in the same place? LOL

First year hops still going strong. The cascade on the right is just over 10'. But only had 2 bines. The nugget on the left has several bines but is much shorter, and the Columbus in the middle isn't doing much of anything.

I read somewhere that in the south it's better to have a lot of shade for the hops to help with the heat. What are some of you with mature hops in MS opinion? Next year I'll either transplant these or modify my ghetto trellis to keep them from growing together when they are able to grow taller.

New guy here. Lawrence County MS, couple miles outside New Hebron. First batch (BB Double IPA extract kit) in secondary and headed into bottles this weekend. Cheers!

Orange Grove here (Gulfport) Use to brew all the time but got tired of hearing how I am going to be arrested and fined and not to tell anyone what I am making in the garage from the wife so gave all of my equipment away.

Still come here on HBT to see what's going on.

Was boiling five gallons once and the neighbor women next door wanted to know what I was making, told her Sun Tea.

I hope with the new laws that you'll consider coming back to the hobby.

Glad to see another MS brewer. If I'm ever down that way, I'll have to drop off some bottles.

Does anybody know the water profile in the Hattiesburg/Dixie area? I was thinking about sending in a lab analysis but if anyone knows of the top of there head that would be great!

This may help but not sure as i haven't tested to see what all info it provides.

North MS here, specifically the Tupelo area. Grew up around wine making and really got interested in the beer movement after the law changed and we got a lot more access to quality beer in stores. We are still playing catch up to the more metropolitan areas but with Mark opening up his LHBS in Tupelo this week ( Trost und Prost ), the future looks bright!

Welcome to HBT! I'm from near Tupelo. New Albany. I've on active duty for about seven years so I've been away for a while. I think it's really great that the great state of Mississippi is modernizing! New Albany just started selling alcohol within the last couple of years, and now a hombrew store in Tupelo! Sweet!

 

[MSBrewer76]

From near Mendenhall. In one of those dry counties where possession of any kind of alcohol, home brewed or otherwise, is technically illegal. Simpson County. Also chiming in on the kudos to Brewhaha in Jackson.

 

[Paschendale]

@MSBrewer76.....Howdy! I'm only about 10 miles away from you. Ain't dry counties fun?

 

[brewcephus]

Hattiesburg area brewer here. Have a couple of friends not members of this board that brew as well. Hit me up if you're interested in having a brew day.

 

[processhead]

When I was a Walthall County resident (20 years ago) I often thought about home brewing, but the resources were just so much harder to get back then.

Walthall County was dry at that time. Anyone know if that's still the case?

Been living and brewing in the midwest since moving away in the early 90's

Looks like Walthall is still a dry county.

Hey there in Covington County! Frankly I never paid much attention as to whether it was legal or not when I started brewing several years ago. I went to Jackson today and stopped by Brewhaha for two batches of beer. Brewing tomorrow and sometime in another week before I have to back to work. I work 21 on/21 off on a drilling rig - works out pretty well with brewing.

 

[Cerebus06]

I just happened across this forum! I'm located in Tupelo, and finally got into brewing early this spring after procrastinating for a few years. Been buying all my equipment and recipe necessities online - so I'm glad to see Mark's shop opening up just a couple miles from me.

Thile is.

Who's going to the brew comp tonight in laurel?

 

[BiloxiBrew]

Checking in from the coast (as my name would imply). Looking for others in the area. Started brewing in San Diego a couple of years ago and now retired back on the coast. Looking forward to Tops of the Hops

So who's from Mississippi?

Originally from Miss (Natchez), but have not been in Miss for many years. Live much further south now.

Just curious, what are you doing in Guatemala?

Living, sailing, traveling, brewing beer.

Live on the Rio Dulce (beautiful place, Google it). Sailed in here for the first time in 2005. Have had my shore based home base here since 2006.

The weather here around August/Sept sometimes reminds me of lowlands around the Mississippi River....hot a humid...temp 95F, humidity 95%. Usually more pleasant than that, but still hot a humid during the day. Quite nice right now.

 

[ahommell]

Checking in from Jackson, Miss.
