Home of the BrewNosers

Greetings,

I am a Caper originally from the Bay left in '91 to go to Halifax for Uni and kept moving west to Saint John, Ann Arbor and finally Newport Beach, CA before making the long trek back to Sydney,NS. I am sure it is one of the longest Glacé Bay to Sydney moves.

Anyway, I was well introduced to Craft Beer in Cali, Oregon and Washington. I am interested in making some from scratch and not 100% where to start. My cousin has been brewing in Halifax for a number of years and recommended this site.

Love to network, share ideas and drink some ales!

You came to the right place to learn!

Like you probably know, the easiest way to get good quality craft beer around Cape Breton is to brew it yourself, so you are in the right place. There are a few All Grain brewers from Sydney on here, and I'm sure they will chime in here. Hook up with them for a brew day, and check here for Classifieds for gear and other info.

Oh, and Welcome!

Welcome!

Welcome

Thanks for all the Welcomes! I would love to find a clone recipe for Belhaven BEST or Dechars IPA, I love drinking beers in Scotland! Looking forward to getting involved with this group.

Welcome

& if you find a reliable clone for Belhaven Best, please share - its one of my wife's faves & I could always use a few brownie points.

cuz. Glad you found the place, if anyone one can get you making great beer it's this crew of guys and gals.

Brian - I knew that was you...the bottle cap and name gave it away! I will have to try your ESB sometime!

Cheers,

I'm pretty sure I got the image off your facebook page I've got a couple of recipes you should try if you like scottish ale do you have any equimpment at all?

I am one of the Capers Chalmers was talking about. I have been all-grain brewing for a little time now and it is fantastic! Another Brewnoser (Bryan) and I have recently started collaboration brews for competitions. Your welcome to come check it out any time!

where at in CB you located Brookland?? I'll eventually be spending more time there soon by the looks of things.

From Sydney, again your welcome to come out as well to brew/have a few brews haha.

Thanks for the invite, I may have to take u guys up on that. I am in Sydney too.

Thanks for the offer Brookland, looking forward to watching/helping with a brew day so i can make the jump to AG. If any of you guys need anything muled from NB on the route to CB, just let me know...only got a small car but should be able to pick up stuff...I know the homebrew equipment market is almost dead in the cape....usually find alot more brewing stuff on kijiji in NB and main parts of NS.

You have to go by Pictou County to get back home... I may have to put up a new toll booth

Er... the Cobequid pass is NS's version of the Cobequid pass! Are you trying to annex our real estate?
