Hey everyone,
First off, great site, very helpful.
I'm new to Home brewing, my buddy's bought me a beer making setup for my Birthday back in September.
I'm starting with the Festa Brew kits...just to learn the basics about temp and timing.
I have 3 festas in various stages now
Cont Pilsner in the Bottle (for 2 weeks now)...(turned out really well)
Bock in the bottle (since this past Friday) (tasted great at time of bottling)
West Coast IPA in the secondary (since Sunday) (smells great)
I also Have a KenRidge red wine started.
Winter plans...all grain, Lager style (researching recipes now)...my brew buddy has a set-up and will help teach me the ways lol.
I am also looking into kegging, and a tap set up...
I look forward to starting to learn and enjoy the craft.
New Guy

Re: New Guy
Welcome.
Lots of great knowledge on this site, and plenty gatherings to meet people & try new beer.
Also on the horizon is learn to homebrew day. There is a possibility that we may be doing something for that if you'd like to see the all grain process.

"Twenty years ago — a time, by the way, that hops such as Simcoe and Citra were already being developed, but weren’t about to find immediate popularity — there wasn’t a brewer on earth who would have gone to the annual Hop Growers of American convention and said, “I’m going to have a beer that we make 4,000 barrels of, one time a year. It flies off the shelf at damn near $20 a six-pack, and you know what it smells like? It smells like your cat ate your weed and then pissed in the Christmas tree.” - Bell’s Brewery Director of Operations John Mallet on the scent of their popular Hopslam.

Re: New Guy
Thats why I ask. I have frequented the Strange Event in my younger years. A old friend of mine is Manager or Owner/Manager there.jacinthebox wrote:It's the name of the bar we built at my brew buddy's place...he's from Glace Bay (where the Main Event Bar is, and my mudder is from Glace Bay aswell.GAM wrote:Main Event II?

I was wondering about that sign as well, as I'm from Glace Bay originally.jacinthebox wrote:good ol' CB roots run deep
