New, from Antigonish
Hello fellow Brewnosers!
My name is Tim and I live in Antigonish, home of St. FX university! I grew up in the beautiful Annapolis Valley and came to the Strait-area to attend university, where I currently work as a substitute teacher and now hobbyist home-brewer!
I've only done a handful of extract kits so far, most recently the Coopers India Pale Ale. Using the primary fermenting bucket, glass carboy, auto-syphon, hydrometer, all the assorted tubes and a very old school bottle capper.
Looking at expanding into combination extract/grain brewing before taking the full plunge into all-grain, as well as moving into keg storage (I never realized how much space 200 bottles can take up).

Welcome! If you are interested in travelling to New Glasgow there's lots of sub work. I teach at North Nova Education Centre in NG.
Nova Prime Taproom
Tap 1: Festa Brew Scotch Ale
Tap 2:
"Fill with mingled cream and amber,
I will drain that glass again.
Such hilarious visions clamber
Through the chamber of my brain -
Quaintest thoughts - queerist fancies
Come to life and fade away;
What care I how time advances?
I am drinking ale today." ~ Poe
