New member from Antigonish

Post by Mackiewackie » Sat Jan 07, 2017 11:36 am

I'm a little late to this group. I have been brewing from grains for 25 years. Started in Kingston Ontario but now live in Antigonish. Home of the wonderful tonwnhouse brew pub where there are ONLY Nova Scotia micro brews on tap !

Brew with a grainfather

Conical fastfermenter in a 60 degree cellar

2 kegs/taps in the man cave

Always on the right tap : California steam beer

Currently on the left tap : cream ale. Next up : best bitter

:spilly:

:welcome:
"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.
