Off to see the wizard........

OK Guys. I'm probably going to get some beer brewing supplies and equipment in the next day or two from the Savannah Home Brew Shoppe. I spoke with the guy a few weeks ago and he said that he has a kit he has put together from his normal stock. It's more money than the Mr. Beer sets you can buy online, but my guess is that the equipment allows for a greater volume of beer per batch, plus the ingredients are almost certainly of a higher quality.... I am going to play it safe and make a standard, follow-the-recipe batch to begin with. Pretty quickly, though, I want to move on to something more complex (and hopefully rewarding). Check out some of the homebrew recipes on that excellent site Alex found, Cryptobrewology. I am particularly interested in the Coffee Oatmeal Stout. I will give a full report on the Savannah H.B. Shoppe and the attempts at our first beer. I am really going to try to take pictures and keep full notes.

I am also currently handbinding a book, specifically a leather-bound journal. I think we all three need matching brewlogs so we can keep notes and brew related information handy. I'll keep you guys posted.
