Hi everyone,
My name is Neeraj, I have been brewing festa brew and Mead for 5 years, but just started extract brewing three weeks ago. Now I have three 5 gallon batchs on!
Great fun, hope to advance to all grain by summer. My background is in Microbiology but I spend most of my time with working on patents. Glad to be back playing with micro organisms.
Cheers from my LAB.

Good evening,
I am in the HRM, and am pleased to the resident geek! I am looking though my biochemistry and enzyme text books to refresh myself on the processes occurring during mashing.
In the past years when making festa brew and mead I just kind of plug and played and kept things clean. I look forward to the March get together. I can't make it to one in Feb. By March I may have enough research done to participate in group buys; are they for grains? OR you you also do them for equipment?
Look forward to meeting others and sharing finished product.
Have a nice evening.
Neeraj

I am still a little new so I am using recipes from Noble Grape for Malt Extract Brewing.
Right now I have an IPA, and two lagers: Mexican Cerveza, and a Pliz that I added cherry extract to in glass carboys. I am going to bottle the IPA and will be buying kegs and a making a kegerator to serve the lagers. Can't wait.
I am reading up on hops and grains and trying to figure out what to make as my first all grain in a few months, but I need some equipment! Hope to get some ideas from fellow board members in the coming months.

Hey Nerraj, welcome!! This Tim Gallant (Paul Machan's friend), glad to see you making the steps from the Festabrews to Extract and all grain. This is a great spot, the group buys are killer for savings lots of money on ingredients and lots of great sources for equipment as well. I'm hoping to take the step to all grain after the next group buy pick up in early February. You'll have to drop by for the brew day.

Hi everyone,
Thank you for the welcomes. I will certainly be asking lots of question.
Tim, good to meet you here. I thought I may run into you on this board.
See you soon,
Neeraj

"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.
