Home of the BrewNosers

Hi everyone,

I just moved back home to Charlottetown after living in St. John's for the past couple of years. I started brewing on my own while I was over there (shopping at Brewery Lane and Brewcraft). I was doing canned kits for a while, then tried customizing them by adding extra hops and malt, and eventually moved on to all-grain and will never go back. I've done 4 all-grains so far (2x IPAs and 2x Hefeweizens). I just use a Coleman cooler with a braid as my mash tun and do single infusion mashes right now. I have a couple of homebrewing posts on our blog (shared with TimG) here if you're interested:

Haven't updated it in a while but will be posting some pics of my last couple of brew sessions soon.

Anyway, looking forward to being active on the Group Buys here and meeting some of you in person eventually. I was wondering if there's anyone else on here living in Charlottetown that would like to get together to brew sometime?

Cheers!

I introduced Hogie to the board, we're great friends from way back. We haven't brewed together yet (darn Nfld) but will soon I'm sure.

Welcome Hogie!

Good to see another Islander added to the board. I'm formally from the Island, but living in Amherst now. Usually make a visit every couple of months to that the boy gets to see his grandmother and aunt.

You must share the N.L. Home Brew Recipes with us. I wanted to do a bakeapple wheat last summer but the shipment of bakeapples didn't arrive.

I am actually going to make some rhubarb wine using their recipe soon. I have a scan of the book but still need to put the pages into a PDF. Will post a link.

Welcome! - although you've been here a while, lol.

I wonder if we can get the bakeapples at the Newfoundland store?

Ok, here's the Newfoundland Homebrew Recipes:

They're some shockin' good.

That's an interesting book, thanks.

Welcome! I'm in Halifax right now, but I'll be moving back to the island as soon as practical. Ie once I get edumacated & find a job.
