New From Tennessee

[Diller]

Hey veteran brewers.

I have just taken the big crack pipe hit that is home brewing. My brother and several friends have been home brewing for years so I decided to take a crack at it. Currently I have a basic Amber Ale fermenting, taking my brewing virginity. I have run across several threads on this board that have helped point me in the right direction so I just wanted to join to help further my knowledge. Glad to see there is a thriving community for the real beer geeks

Welcome! Where in Tennessee?

 

[Diller]

Welcome! Where in Tennessee?

Thank you.

Original home town is Franklin, but I go to school in Cookeville at TTU and home moved to Memphis so I'm all over the place.

 

[DragonTail]

Welcome

 

[wildwest450]

Welcome, i'm close by in Sparta.

 

[Rebel_Brewer]

Welcome!!
I'm in Goodlettsville, my oldest daughter goes to school in Cookville (don't even think about it)
Tennesee brewers ROCK!!
(So does wildwest's avatar....are those girls in Sparta and are they looking for work??)

 

[nealf]

Hey Rebel Brewer, I've been to your shop before!! How are things going...

Also, welcome Diller!!

 

[jayhuff]

Welcome from Nashvegas!

 

[nealf]

Any of you guys going to this?...

Diller, if you are interested, it would probably be a sweet place to meet some locals that share a brewing interest. There is a "Brew-N-Greet" at 1pm on the 9th an the Holiday Inn Select.

I should be there and judging: was an absolute blast last year even though Jamil pussed out

Hey Tom! Glad to see you over here! (This is Kyle, by the way)

 

[Rebel_Brewer]

Hey Kyle, wow...there's alot of love in the room.
Yes, Jamil had a rough time (blame the bunker)
Yes, I will be at the Brew-Off (I'm Judge coordinator)

I figured it was time I showed my face around Homebrew Talk,
I've been lurking in the shadows for a long time.

 

[nealf]

Nice to see all you guys going... I'll be stewarding up there. My sister lives up there and I am trying to get some of my homebrew club to show up for the Club Crawl thing... It's looking good!

 

[PseudoChef]

Sounds like a time! Be sure to say hey (maybe I'll wear my Rebel Brewer T-shirt, haha)

 

[Diller]

Welcome

Thank you very much.

Welcome, i'm close by in Sparta.

Good to see there are some brewers around my area. So far I have only been able to find brew supplies at one place in Cookeville and one in Nashville so if you know of any other suppliers I would be appreciative.

Seems to be quite the community here in TN and that is always a plus. Don't worry about the daughter, I'm already taken...but I can't promise I won't look

Sounds like a great time. I will have to come for sure and bring a few of my friends that can appreciate good beer or brew themselves. Thanks for the heads up for sure.

I will say that this new hobby takes a lot of something I don't usually have...patience haha. I can hear by primary fermenting vessel "burping" as I type this and after having a few of a fellow home brewer's creations this evening, I am more anxious than ever.

 

[bernerbrau]

I will have 4 beers ready by then... I think I should give it a shot.

Welcome to the wonderful world of brewing!

Try not to miss the Cigar and Brewfest in Jackson:

The only place in Cookeville that I know of, is the Good Shepard health food store. They have a very limited supply. Someday I hope to get in on a bulk grain buy (hint, hint Nashville brewers). Until then, I buy all my supplies online.

I gotcha. That is where I get the small, last minute things I need but I really liked "All Seasons" in Nashville on 8th street. They seemed to have everything I needed for my first brew but it is kind of out of the way for me. I guess I'll just have to hit it up on my trips to and from Memphis. BTW the brew stores I have been to in Memphis are terrible so I guess I'm lucky that Nashville has what it has.

 

[PseudoChef]

Not to be a complete RB whore, but mail-ordering stuff from Tom at Rebel Brewer is still cheaper than AS for me.

wildwest - I'll let you know the next time our club does a bulk order - I'm an apt. dweller, so I only buy by the batch, but I'll let the guys know. You may also want to check out some of the guys in Music City Brewers - they do bulk buys a couple times a year if I'm not mistaken.

 

[Rebel_Brewer]

We're in Nashville......OK, 12 miles North......But, basically
(and it's a one day ship by ground to anywhere in TN)

Sounds great. I'll be sure to give you a shout when I figure out what I'm going to do next. Thanks for the heads up

Diller, welcome! Always nice to see another Tennessean.
