New from Tennessee

[DrFubar]

Just joined the forum to get back up to speed on brewing. Almost 20yrs ago I was introduced to brewing beer and now have the time to start again. I have a batch of IPA in the primary right now, looking forward to my first batch. Anyone else from Tennessee or N. Georgia?

Hey, all. I'm currently living near Houston but my wife and I just bought some property in Kingston and are planning to move in 1-3 years. I take it there's a good homebrew/craft brew culture in the Knoxville area??

Yes it gaining popularity in Knoxville not a lot of places to buy supplies but the couple there is are really knowledgeable

 

[Tex2Ten]

So are there homebrew supply shops handy to Knoxville or is it order online only?

 

[sawman1y]

There are 2 homebrew supply shops in Knoxville both have everything you need and both have good prices

 

[Tex2Ten]

Yeah...sorry, sawman1y. Missed your earlier post otherwise I wouldn't have asked. LOL. Thanks.

Yup .... honey, water, yeast, nutrients, and virtually anything else you can imagine adding to a fermentable beverage.....can be as simple or complex as one likes
