New guy from tantallon

Post by homebrewcrew » Thu Dec 29, 2011 8:53 am

Recently I tried homebrew for the first time in my life. I could not beleive the taste it was amazing, so last week I bought the basic kit for making homebrew off of kijiji. Excited to find this site and forums seems like a good group of people. :D

Welcome, it's a great hobby and very rewarding!

Did you put your first batch on yet? Ask some questions here, there's lot of experience on hand.

: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 my first batch is on just went into the carboy last night. Got plastic bottles with my kit but I hear that glass is much better for the taste and the beer is colder. So I am trying to find some good resealable glass bottles so I do not have to worry about bottle caps. I went to noble grape and got the brown ale festa kit. I am in Birch Bear Woods subdivision so very close to Westwood, good to see a local brewer. Next batch I will try doing the grains etc instead of the abra-ca-dabra box of beer.

Ambitious :-) It only took me about 20 years to go from kits to grain. When shopping at Noble Grape, ask for the Brewnoser discount
Currently on tap: Nothing!
In keg: Still nothing.
In Primary: Doggone American Rye Pale Ale

I grew up in Highland Park as well on Kimara Drive. Lived there for 20+ years. Lived on Westwood Blvd for 5 years, then St. Margaret's Village for another 5, now a city man.
