New Brewnoser member from the 'Nish

Hi all;
Another new brewer here, from Antigonish;
I have been at it for a year now, doing mostly the grain + extract + hops kits from Noble Grape. Almost all of these have been great, and have a done a few of the Coopers can ones – the IPA was good, another English Bitter was terrible, so I am sticking to the Noble Grape kits. Have started some hop plants in my yard - got about 3 foot high this summer, so should be much better (higher) this summer, and harvested some wild hops as well – they were great! Am thinking of doing a spruce beer this spring where spruce tips become available. I have a recipe, but just wondering if others out there are going that route – a grain + extract + hops + spruce tip brew? Some pointers on that would be great!

I think there might be a few threads on here about making spruce beer.

Thank you Mr. X. - yes - I did a forum search and found some interesting spruce beer recipes. The one I have is from the book by George Hummel. No shortage of spruce around here!

I have a recipe I can give you later if you want. I got Gold for it in Toronto a couple of years ago, and I brewed it again last year and got silver in Montreal.
BTW, welcome

Another from Pictou County here (Westville), though I lived in Antigonish for 7 years. Welcome!

Another Antigonisher here. Live in the city now though. Not a great craft beer culture in Antigonish when I lived there but that seems to be changing everywhere.

Welcome!
I've made spruce beer several times using partial mash techniques and it is always very interesting. Don't hesitate to ask any questions.
Cheers!
