Welcome. I am also from Bama, lil town called Gantt. Not originally from here but, this is where I wound up. Haven't brewed in quite a number of years but intend to get back into it. At the present I am in the process of getting some equipment together. My last attempts at brewing, about ten years ago, were basic and not very successful. This time there will be more expense and effort as well as alot more study. I would loke to work up to a strong Belgian ale, one of my favorite styles and, sadly, one that can't be found anywhere around here. Matter of fact, there are very few imported offerings in these parts, which is the main reason I want to get into home brewing.
