Home of the BrewNosers

Hello!

Recovering Albertan and new brewer in Halifax checking in. Started with a few great festabrew wort kits, but have recently moved to extract brewing before I work up the nerve to try partial mash and all-grain.

My first extract batch (the toy soldier stout recipe kit from OBK) will be ready for drinking next week, and I'm gearing up for a batch of my own experiment recipe that I'm expecting to fail spectacularly.

Looking forward to learning with the lot of you!

John

Welcome, sounds like you are well on your way.

Thanks! I've been lurking forums like this, and reading How to Brew by John Palmer quite a bit, for some time, and I figured it was time to join up.

Welcome!

A man after my own heart! Welcome to the Brewnosers! I'm about to tap 4 new experiments once they are carbonated haha.

Think of it this way - even if something does goes wrong, chances are you had fun doing it and you end up with beer in the end!

Hah! Good to be here. If your signature is any indication, then I'd like to know more. I'm going to start a Imperial Blonde pitched with hefeweizen yeast for the banana and cloves. Next up is a cucumber saison and a watermelon wheat.

I'll think of it no other way.

Thanks for the welcome everyone!

Welcome aboard!
If you're available, be sure to come out to the next monthly meeting to be held on the 11th, somewhere in the HRM. Check the Events subforum closer to the date.

Tuesday's can be a hit or miss for me this time of year work-wise, but I'm hoping on a miss for the 11th so I can make an appearance.

Also, can I ask for some more info on the monthly meeting? Where do they take place? What is expected? What can I expect? etc etc.

This post has most of the info necessary: viewtopic.php?f=23&t=1582&p=16005" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

But I'm putting together an FAQ that will live in the Events thread, so check there after noon today.

Check here for details on this month's meeting, as they are decided: viewtopic.php?f=5&t=5879" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Here is the FAQ: viewtopic.php?f=5&t=5880" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Lemme know if there's anything I should add.

Oh this is excellent, thanks!

I'll keep my eye on my schedule and the meeting thread and hope to meet you there.
