New homebrewer in Iowa

[JimHalpert]

Greetings all!
A couple years ago my brother got back from a tour in Iraq and we decided we were going to make our own beer. He ordered some ingredients off the internet and a few weeks later we had a batch bubbling in an old frosting bucket we scored from our local Wal Mart. Although our first batch had lots of floaties, it was very tasty. We were both hooked immediately.
Since then we have both made some modifications to our brewing styles and equipment. We have also graduated from the tedious and time consuming bottling and moved on to the much easier kegging process.

Welcome, from a fellow Iowan. Where you at? There are a few of us on HBT regularly. You found a great group, with a lot of helpful information. I'm also wanting to do a Fat Tire clone.

I live near Ottumwa, in southeastern Iowa.
I think Fat Tire may be my new favorite beer. Aside from my own homebrew of course.

I saved my Fatty bottles for several years until I was ready to start homebrew. One of my faves also.
