Hello!
I am a new homebrewer from Lunenburg.
I like bold beer, especially barrel aged stouts and anything with imperial or Double in the description.
Influenced by local breweries and a few from the US, (Brash, Karbach
, Parrish, Abita, Stone and Prairie Artisan Ales).
I have a few brews under my belt:
-Extract/Steep- American Stout (bottled) 6.5%
-Partial mash - RIS (Bottle aging) 9.1%- split batch, half - Cacao nibs, coconut, chipotle and rum fortified ~11%
-BIAB - SMaSH MO/Simcoe (primary) ?7.1%? OG 1.068
-Planning - Baltic Porter ~10-12%
Trying to learn how to up my efficiency, maintain mash temp (outside in the winter) and get the characteristics I want.

Greetings and welcome NF in Lunenburg, make sure you check out the local Brewnosers subgroup out of Lunenburg- South Nova Brewers Guild. One of the members, Robert Shaw runs a brew shop just out of town - the Grain Barrel.

Hey All, thanks for the warm welcome.
@Thegrainbarrel already a customer.
I sampled the SmaSH before putting it in secondary... even better than I expected. It might get me away from the big stouts.
Working on my next recipes (Baltic Porter and Imp Milk stout) and trying to find time to brew.
