Hi there folks,
After an 8 year stint in Vancouver, I've recently returned to NS to eat, drink and be merry! Have been doing all-grain batches with friends for >1.5 years now but will be starting fresh and on my own here in lovely Halifax. Once I get my equipment sorted, would love to bring in some brew to share at a meeting
Happy days -
-Lindsay

Hello, Welcome.
Here's a link to the nov 2nd brew day:
http://www.brewnosers.org/forums/viewto ... f=5&t=5353
What kind of all grain brewing are you into? there's a few AG BIABers on here now, and seems to be catching on.
Was there much real ale/cask ale in Vancouver with all those ex pat Brits over there?
Have fun brewing...and NovaScotiaing.

Thanks everyone! What a warm welcome.
Definitely checked out
https://www.everwoodavebrewshop.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; and have my list ready to go.
Going to get my dad to help me build a mash tun (I love DIY projects; thankfully he lives close and has the tools!). Have brewed everything from juniper-tip infused ales, Pliny the Elder clones (can't help but love a classic) and a tasty black hop lager. I'm a hops-addict and love the Cascadian style IPAs out there.
Re: casks - I volunteered at quite a few cask festivals through CAMRA Vancouver (Campaign for Real Ale) and love the opportunity to taste cask beer. There is only one place in Vancouver that has a "cask on tap", the Irish Heather in Gastown, and it is delicious. I love casked beer: the style, the temperature, the smoothness, the minor carbonation.
I'm out of town Nov 2nd but hope to be able to attend to the next event!
