Thirsty Cruiser Posted July 19, 2007 #27 Share Posted July 19, 2007 You're a beer snob?:p Any suggestions for a home brew kit:confused: Depends on what you style you like :) . I am partial to IPAs and Strong Ales. There are great kits online like at Williams Brewing, but I would try to find a good local homebrew shop. They will be able to provide info you cannot get online. For beginners, I would start with a hopped extract kit and dry yeast to get your feet wet. Once you are comfortable, try using a light unhopped extract and add specialty grains and hops yourself. I am getting into full mash now, which is much more work but allows for a better product IMHO.

Thirsty Cruiser Posted July 19, 2007 #29 Share Posted July 19, 2007 Thanks for the info. Any recommendations for a shop in NOVA? There is only one "brick and mortar" that I know of in NoVA. Jay's stopped operating out of his house and is now only mail-order, so that leaves the only other place I know about, http://www.mylhbs.com/. The guy that runs it is Derek Terrell. He is very knowledgable, and will set you up with whatever you need. I would try to go during the week since he is very busy on weekends. Another option for new brewers is Shenandoah Brewing Company in Arlington. There you can use their equipment and make your own commercial quality filtered beer complete with custom labels. This is real braggable stuff, but it's sort of cheating;) . Sorry to hijack the thread, but we are sort of on topic :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruisinbuddy Posted July 19, 2007 #41 Share Posted July 19, 2007 I just checked the aluminum Bud bottle I brought home in January and it states 5% alcohol. Are you kidding, they want you to get drunk and buy more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

okgirl Posted July 20, 2007 #46 Share Posted July 20, 2007 [quote name='eclipsegtf10mch']bottled beer is bottled beer, wherever you are...[/quote] Wrong!!!!!!! Beer sold in convenience stores in Oklahoma have an alcohol content of only 3.2. You have to go to a liqour store to buy anything more potent than that.
