Recently moved to the Annapolis Valley, and just bottled my first homebrew batch in my new home while listening to 902 Brewcast. They mentioned Brewnosers and I figured it was a sign.

I've only been brewing a year or so, starting with 1 gallon all-grain kits from Brooklyn Brew Shop. Did my first 5 gallon BIAB from a kit this past winter. My latest batch is a 2.5 gallon BIAB (SMaSH using Horton Ridge 2-row and Citra), which seems to be the sweet spot for me, in terms of equipment and variety.

Welcome. You can't go wrong with a 100% Citra beer.

: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.
