New member "Bluefin" from Mount Pearl, Newfoundland

Post by Bluefin 774 » Thu Apr 03, 2014 10:33 pm

Hey gang,

I go by "Bluefin" on other forums so I will use that here as well. I am looking forward to learning more about brewing beer on this forum. I have been brewing Brew House kits for the last year or so. I got tired of bottling and have very recently bought a double keg set up using cobra picnic taps. I have a 5lb. Co2 tank, double manifold and two brand new 5 gallon kegs. Any set up advice is welcome I currently have an extra full size fridge to use for beer. I would like to use a small freezer with taps or a mini fridge with a double tap tower. Still trying to decide. The full size fridge is too big to keep. Iwill see what happens in the future. I have to put a brew on this weekend to fill one of the kegs. Brew House Pumpkin beer is the first on the list as I have that kit now.....thinking an IPA for the other keg.
Take care, Bluefin.

Hello and welcome.

I've used cobra/picnic taps only for the past year and a half and quite happy with them. Simple, effective, cheap, portable, easy to clean them (and the lines).

:welcome:
"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.

Yes, for sure. I haven't seen any of the guys since the time Chalmers was here and we got the guys together and went up to Jims place for a night of sampling.
Soon be time for a BBQ and sampling and perhaps a big brew.

Welcome aboard!

I've got plans to be in YYT at the end of the month, hopefully we can meet up for a pint? Was thinking of dropping by Bitters on the MUN campus.

Thanks for the welcome chalmers. I have a strange work schedule. I work offshore doing a three week on and three week off rotation. I will be home until April 20th. If that works for you, let me know. I'm hoping to pass through Nova Scotia during August this summer. That may work too. :cheers3:
Take care, Bluefin.

Unfortunately, I'm there on the 29th, so it doesn't sound like it'll work.
