One more from the Carolinas

Thu Jul 17, 2008 11:02 am

I have been hanging around and snooting through past posts for the past 20 or 30 minutes, so I figure it is time to start one of my own.
I have been brewing for going on a year now with 40 gallons under my belt. I have done mostly extract with a bit of steeping thrown in. Mostly German Hefe Weizen and my own Fat Tire clone. I will be racking a Fat Tire to the secondary next weekend and tossing an IPA in the brewpot.
My equipment is basic with a 7 Gal SS brewpot, glass carboys, and plenty of bottles. Plans are to have a V-Vessel by the end of the month since my local "Brew Hero", Jess at Alternative Beverage, is going to start carrying them. It may not be as nice as a SS conical, but one, it isn't $600. And two, my two year old won't be able to reach the airlock!
Looking forward to picking up some valuable information here from you folks. I really want to get my feet wet with an all-grain one of these days....

The more I read, the more I begin to realize that there is a reason for the "insanity" comment being reiterated with a great deal of regularity!
Thank you,

Now, I am not so sure that I am happy to be here! After reading a lot more, it seems that I now have to make a whirlpool chiller, get a March pump, change out my 7.5gal SS brew pot for a modified keg... DAMN people, you are costing me a fortune!!!!! :roll:
Now I have something to do this weekend in preparation for brewing next weekend....
