New from Newfoundland

Post by spacegras » Fri Feb 15, 2013 11:38 pm

Hey all,
I'm a kit brewer of a good few years, looking to make the move to all grain, but looking to learn about it as much as possible before I make my attempt.
I was pointed here from Canadian Home Brewers by Tony, and it looks like a great bunch around here. I'm a fan of beer in general, all styles have a place in my heart! I'm also a wargamer (boardgames), and I love to play while enjoying a brew or two. I'll probably be more of a lurker than a poster, but I'm all about learning more.

Chris

:welcome:

Lots of great information on here about making the jump from kit to extract, partial, or all grain brewing. Ask away!

"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 Chris! I'll be in St. John's next month, not sure where you're located. Tony and I (and others?) are getting together for a pint, hoping you could join us.

I have him included in my e-mailing list for meetings and he is aware of it if he reads his e-mail.

Should be a good turnout for this meeting BTW for Monday the 4th at the underbelly in the YB for 7PM.
I'll let everyone know, including you of course, when this is confirmed.
