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.

Welcome Neeraj!

Welcome! Are you in the HRM area?

Welcome! You won't be our first microbiologist.

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.

Welcome Neeraj! Good things brewing around here. Stick around!

What do you have on?

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.

The group buys are for grain, equipment, hops, whatever we need...good to see another new face.

Welcome Neeraj.

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.

welcome

Welcome Neeraj! Just let us know what you are looking to do, and we can make suggestions on equipment you need to get.

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

welcome... always good to see another lab geek

Hi Ratchet, love the picture,

I gave my wife a "Beaker" years ago as a gag gift
