Looks great, how big is your garage?

I got lucky and got quite a large garage...2 car plus its pretty deep. I use it as a woodworking shop and where i store my beer stuff...I actually moved the kegerator to another building on the property, we have a 12x14 "summer cottage I turned into a bar/poker room. The garage can be an awesome place to brew if we can plan a day/ I can get pretty much all of us in there brewing and I got a space heater if it gets cold. Does everyone have a propane burner?
Np. Where you located at?
Thanks! Red Lodge
in eriswell outside of lakenheath. got a whole crate, you can have as many as you want.
Glad I found this post! I PCS to Mildenhall on Sunday. ALLLLLL the way from Spangdahlem, Germany Been stationed here for 7 years and I've been brewing for at least 5 of those.
All grain brewer, yeast manipulator, and water geek.
I've got a couple home recipes that I'd love to share and get some critiques on.
Anyway I also keg my beers (with the option to fill bottles with the blichmann beer gun) and It would be cool to have a brew session/hangout with the potential of starting a club.
I just handed out a Red IPA as a going away gift to quite a few people. One of the feedbacks I got was "dude, I think I love you" so that's always good I guess. Once my household goods show up and I get settled in we'll have to put something together!
Hey man, nice to meet you. I just got back from deployment, ordered a few ingredients and plan on making a few brews when the stuff arrives from 'Murica. I have been kit brewing the last few years in between deployments, but want to move to AG, was wondering if anyone wanted to come by and show me the ropes...I got the space in the garage, I don't have a propane burner yet, was waiting to see the AG process before I invest more money into the hobby. I got the next couple of weekends booked up with vacations with the family, but I have some time this week on R&R we might be able to make work. Let me know, I'd really like to start meeting up as a group.
I will sell my UK chest freezer for 40 quid, if any one is interested. The temp controller parts for 20. I would even throw in the regulator if you take both, however it is on its last legs. I am not parting with the perlicks.
So I'm gathering from this thread that most of you had to get an adapter to run a UK cO2 bottle? I actually ditched my cO2 bottle before I left germany because it was expired and not cost worthy to get re-inspected. Are there places that I can either buy/rent one? And is that adapter that you guys bought what is needed to hook up to a US sized regulator?

Working backwards here... Welcome to the UK. I'm also an AG brewer, been doing so for a bit over a year. I'm at RAF Molesworth, so a bit aways from the rest of you, but I'm very interested in getting a club-like thing started. I would have no issue hosting, but I'm a good 45-60 mins from all of you.
As far as supplies. Beautiful beers is pretty decent for a local HBS, but I suggest using either Brew UK (http://www.brewuk.co.uk/store/) or Home Brew Company (http://www.thehomebrewcompany.co.uk/) if you're interested in buying in bulk. FYI, the 25 kg bags of pearl from Brew UK are Fawcetts, which I believe is better for American style beers than Maris Otter. I get most of my hops from Yakima valley which ships USPS Priority pretty cheap.
About to PCs. Got the makings of a 5 gallon pale ale if anyone wants it. A fiver will do.
Any of your guys still around? Just stumbled on this post stationed at rafm living on Rafl.
