New Member from St. John's

Post by GasMD30 » Wed Apr 02, 2014 6:32 pm

Hey all! I'm a beginner brewer from St. John's, Newfoundland. I'm starting with 1 gallon batches, currently on my second batch and first custom batch (first batch was a kit). I'm hoping to optimize this recipe before I move on to the next.

Please feel free to suggest anything!

Cheers :cheers2:

"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.

Welcome aboard!

There's a vibrant homebrewing community in Sin Jawns (some of whom post here), and whenever I'm over for work (every few months), we try to meet for a pint. I'll keep you in the loop, if you'd like.

Changed my home brewery's name to "Arztbräuhaus" in honour of my profession and my German heritage. Praises and high fives welcome haha. On a more important note, I've now acquired the setup for 5 gallon batches! Any suggestions for cleaning out the ball flange/bazooka tube in a cooler?

Take it apart and boil it maybe in a pot maybe, minimum 15 minutes.
