The South Atlanta Homebrewers is a club of brewers and beer enthusiasts generally based on the metro Atlanta's south side. We are brewers of all experience levels, and invite you to join us for discussion on the practices of brewing, brewing safety and beer evaluation.
I am a new brewer and today I bought my starter kit with a carboy at Just Brew It in Fayetteville. I am excited about my first brew, even though it is an American Blondie. I do prefer tans and reds over blonds, but I do have hopes because Doug said it is easy recipe. I still need bottles and I am hoping to go to the get together on Saturday. I start my first batch on Sunday!
I have also started a brewing journal Wave if anybody reads this and has a Google Wave account.
I almost forgot about the guiness toast which happens tonight. For those who like this style of beer should have a pint to toast to Arthur Guiness and his long standing lease. Besides how else would we have such BJCP styles relating to English Bitters and Ale's without Mr. Guiness?
here is a link to check out some of the information if you prefer.

From an KegWorks add:
George Washington: Beer Enthusiast
The father of our country was also the father of American
craft brewing. Washington housed a serious English-style
Porter brewing operation at his Mt. Vernon estate for two
reasons; he wanted to eliminate dependence on foreign
goods to further the colonies' independence and he loved
beer so much, he couldn't bear the thought of running out.
Grover Cleveland: A Man of Excess
Cleveland was known for his beer belly and it was common
knowledge that he drank beer daily. In 1870, during a race
So the other day I went by Just Brew It and talked to Doug, and thought about doing the style of month for March. I am still not sure whether to get 2 extract kits or just one and do another one I have a recipe for. I think that I just might go ahead and get 2 of them anyways and buy another ferment bucket to start the other one a week before the secondary get bottled.
