Homebrewing Here I Come!!!

Ok, so today I went by my local homebrew store, Brewstock, and purchased some homebrew equipment and ingredients. This will be my first attempt at homebrewing other than the time my dad and I tried using a Mr. Beer kit. That beer turned out to be pretty crappy so I'm not sure to even count that as a homebrewing experience.

I hope to start brewing in the next couple days maybe even making a little brewing/drinking session out of it with a couple of friends. I'll be documenting my progress for this site the whole way regardless of the outcome! I want to thank Aaron Hyde over at Brewstock for walking me through my first homebrew buying experience. He even went so far as to write down a recipe for me to use and open an hour early to take care of me! I also picked up Charlie Papazian's Complete Joy of Homebrewing Third Edition to help me out along the way! Wish me luck!!!

Cheers!

New Orleans has a Homebrew Store again! Yeah!!

Yup, you read that properly. We finally have a homebrew store again in New Orleans. After the closure of Brew Ha Ha, homebrewers from New Orleans have had to get their homebrew supplies from companies off of the internet. No more!! Homebrewers can now get their homebrew supplies locally at a new store called Brewstock.

The owner, Aaron, hails from up North but we won't hold that against him. He decided to move here in order to help with the rebuilding of our great city and there is no better way to help than opening up a homebrew shop! He's here to help support us so it's our turn to support him!

The shop is located at 8725 Oak Street near River Road. The store isn't quite open yet to the public but the website is pretty much done and ready!!!

Cheers!
