Hey everyone!
I am brand new to homebrewing and am looking forward to my 1st boil, which will be taking place tomorrow I'm looking forward to learning lots through the use of these forums. Cheers!

Welcome aboard Dixon.

Good luck with the brew and take plenty of notes....

 

[pa-in-utah]

good luck dixon. Where you from in Utah?? There are a few of us from Utah that frequent the forum!!

 

[dixon72]

I'm actually from So-Cal, but I am stationed at Hill AFB (about 30 miles north of SLC).

 

[feedthebear]

Good to meet you. Welcome to HBT.

What's your first brew?

 

[RichBrewer]

Welcome!
What will you be brewing?

 

[dixon72]

Sorry, I meant to include that in the original post. I picked up an NB Scottish 80 Shilling. Looks like I'm going to start in about an hour or so, woohoo!!

 

[feedthebear]

Cool. That's what I did for my first too. One of the Beer Nut's kits.

 

[pa-in-utah]

There is a really good brew store in Ogden. I went there a few days ago. It is more "upscale" than the beer nut but the prices were really good. It is called Grains, Graped and Grounds.

 

[dixon72]

That's great, I was getting tired of driving to the Beer Nut. Maybe I'll check that place out tomorrow instead. Thanks for the info.:cross:

Have you guys from utah been to Art's Brewing supplies? He is an old school brewer and will help you out all he can. Let me know if you want the address

 

[pa-in-utah]

Got the address. Just never went to the store. I thought his internet prices were high so I didn't stop at the store. Thanks for the heads up New Brew. Next trip to SLC, I will check it out!!

I tried to find it once. The building I found looked like it should have been condemned. I'm hoping I was in the wrong place.

 

[pa-in-utah]

it is 642 Washington in SLC. Just a few blocks from the beer nut

 

[feedthebear]

I know what the address is. Did you find it?

All I saw when I drove down Washington Street was a bunch of heavy industrial buildings that looked of questionable character. No building with #642. No building with Art's Brew Supply on it.

 

[pa-in-utah]

didn't check boss.... next time I hit the beer nut (or SLC) I will go on a "mission" to try and find it.... A little morman humor for the non-mormons in the crowd!! Probably all of us!! lol.....

 

[feedthebear]

We Utah brewers should get together sometime. Squatters would be a good spot. I don't know about the time, though. All depends on the sitter's schedule.

Also, I saw there's a story on Utah breweries on Fox 13's 9pm news tonight.

 

[dixon72]

Ya I saw that same Fox news special. Let me know when/where you want to meet. I'm always willing to talk homebrew and meet new people.

[pa-in-utah]

Didn't get to the news... I was at work. Dixon, you know all about the flightline..... I am down for a hook-up and a few beers. Squatters would be good. Let's try to set something up.

 

[feedthebear]

Sorry, I've been a bit under the weather.

Sunday is the best bet for me this weekend. I might be able to swing Saturday lunch if I can get my mother-in-law to baby sit.

 

[pa-in-utah]

Sunday is a NO-NO on this end. It is mothers day. Saturday night I am having a promotion party so that is a no-go as well.

We need to pass numbers by PM or something. Dixon would be the easiest for me to meet up with since we both work on the base.

 

[kb9vzh]

I have heard alot about the "BREW" police in Utah. Just keep a few extra Morman women close by and you should not have a problem. I never have problems with a few extra women around in Illinois. Until they meet each other.

 

[dixon72]

Just about anytime is good for me... except Sunday. I don't think I'd stay married very long if I missed the wifes 1st mothers day.

We just spent this past week in Park City for our anniversary. We went to Wasatch brew pub, Squatters, and even took the Wasatch brewery tour today in SLC. It was a pretty good time.

Let me know when and where, I'll even bring the wife for DD purposes.

 

[feedthebear]

Sorry, I was half a pint low yesterday after going to the doc. I forgot about Mom's day too. And its one of the few Sundays that SWMBO has off. In my defense though, I gave her the present on Tuesday.

How about noonish at Squatters tomorrow? I'll be the long haired and bearded hippy in the Virginia City Bucket of Blood shirt.

See you there,

John

 

[dixon72]

My inlaws are visiting. I thought they were staying for the weekend, but as it turns out they are leaving today and want to have lunch with us before they fly out.

I thought I had them talked into doing the Squatters thing, but it seems they have changed their minds.

I'm out of town next weekend, but will see if we can meet up the following week. Sorry about the mix up.

 

[dixon72]

Man I really need to get your phone #. I dropped the inlaws off at the airport at about 1pm and was at Squatters at 1:30. I looked for you, I even asked a couple of guys with long dark hair and beards if they were you... needless to say all I got was dumb looks. Oh well at least now I know where Squatters is.

 

[AGBrewer]

If you guys figure something out I would love to join you

 

[dixon72]

No problem. We will definitely get something going, stay tuned to this thread I suppose. I can also PM you if you would like.
