Hey everyone,
I'm Paul and I am currently living in Halifax. I first dipped my toes into home brewing with wine kits about 3 years ago, tried one Festa Brew kit and realized you shouldn't try to ferment beer during the hottest week of summer without a blow off, and I quickly went back to making wine. In the past year I decided to jump headfirst into brewing and bought a couple of books (How to Brew / Designing Great Beers), a big pot and started doing all grain BIAB, the first few attempts came out tasting lighter than rolling rock which was not the intention. Recently I've been brewing mostly one gallon batches of much better beer, just try and learn a little more without having to drink 5 gallons of sub-par beer.
Looking forward to brewing with, learning from, and drinking with everyone here.
Cheers,
Paul

Re: Time to join the community
tells us about your BIAB 5 gallon batch procedure and maybe we can help get those sorted out."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.
