Hello from Truro

Post by Mac_Brew » Wed Jan 15, 2014 10:57 pm

Just joined and thought I'd say hello. New to home brewing. Only done some kits (Brew House) so far. Did an IPA and Cream Ale. Loved the IPA but Cream Ale was so-so. Just bottled another IPA I dry-hopped and a Light Lager. Will Try them this weekend - can't wait. Using Grolsch bottles which seem to work well. Have an Oatmeal Stout to go on next.

I live in Truro - anyone from my neck of the woods? Looking to keg soon and build a kegerator. Any leads on kegs and C02 are appreciated. Learned lots from this site already. Hoping to make one of your monthly meetings in future.

Name is Jeff.

Thanks. Seems like some of you have been at this for awhile. Wish I had stumbled onto this sit earlier.

Welcome aboard!

The meetings are a great opportunity to try other's homebrew to see what we're making, and get some impartial feedback and suggestions on your own (besides your buddies who are usually thrilled to get free beer!), so hopefully you're able to make it on the 30th. Plus maybe try some interesting commercial beers the boys might have picked up from away.

Welcome and see you on the 30th. Definitely bring some of the IPA as I'd love to take a bottle home to try. I'll swap out one from my collection.

I will drain that glass again.
Such hilarious visions clamber
Through the chamber of my brain -
Quaintest thoughts - queerist fancies
Come to life and fade away;
What care I how time advances?
I am drinking ale today." ~ Poe
