Potential Brewer in Omaha Metro

[Shawn Cassidy]

Good Afternoon,

I have found great interest in fermenting beverages among other things. I found this great resource and will be asking lots of annoying newbie questions along the way to my first brew and/or ferment.

Since I live in a small apartment with my wife and daughter, I don't have a lot of real estate to work with. I'm considering making wines/meads/ciders to get my bearings before going into brewing beers. Making an Irish Red is one of my goals for this new fascinating hobby.

Welcome to the forum, from Minnesota! An Irish red is a great beer to start out with. Very straightforward. In the meantime, check out EdWort's Apfelwein. Store-bought apple juice, sugar, some wine yeast and some container to ferment it in. And tastes great.

That sounds like a good first thing to ferment! Thank you for the suggestion.

Welcome to the community from Florida! Irish Red is a great beer to try as a first brew. Good luck and don't be afraid to ask questions.

Welcome to the forum. We're glad you found us. Start asking questions, it's the quickest way to an answer. You don't have to search for everything, just ask.

Thank you gentlemen. The small apartment with the ban on gas appliances on decks is a major buzz kill. lol
