Another Newfoundlander

Post by sparrow » Thu Sep 22, 2011 3:02 am

Hi everyone,

I'm a novice homebrewer in St. John's who is pretty big into all things beer, but for now I'm only into extract and partial mash brewing. I've lurked on the forums here many times in the past; I find it to be a great source of information. I'm trying to brew more and to advance my skills, so the time was right to enter the fray here. Be advised - I'm full of questions.

I know Chalmers and most recently met Tony L, but other than that I'm a stranger to all at the moment.

Anyway, I look forward to being a part of the forums and hearing all the news from NS.

Cheers,
Anthony Sparrow.

Great to see you on here, Anthony!
Bring on the questions, that's what we're here for. :)
I'll keep you up to date with my travels to the Rock.

: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.

Welcome Anthony.
Nice to be in contact with another local brewer. We'll probably get together for another group brew once Dwayne gets back
from England, so we'll let you know.
Cheers
