Atlanta

We're in Atlanta -- ok, no, we're in Kennesaw -- preparing for Angela's weight loss surgery which will take place on Wednesday. Yesterday we visited the home brew store over in Alpharetta. I bought all the ingredients for my next batch of beer, and I also bought a temperature controller. The next batch is going to be a number of firsts for me:

1. My first true lager - hence the new temp controller.
2. My first use of specialty grains. I'm going to steep them this time, rather than attempt a true mash.
3. My first beer not made from a Mr. Beer kit.

Tonight we're going to eat at Copeland's, which is as close to real cajun food as I've been in a while.
