Hey folks,
Just bought my first Festa Brewkit (esb). Looking forward to getting that started and ramping up on the hobby in 2015. I'm hoping to buy a kegging kit shortly. Where is the best place to buy that? I saw a kit at noble grape. Is that a good spot to buy one?

Hey. Talk with Dave @ Everwoodavebrewshop. Best prices around. I started doing festa myself 2 years ago and took the jump to all grain. A lot to take in, but so worth it. If you ever want to sit in on a brew day. Let me know. I'm in sackville. Also welcome!

When I priced out the most basic kegging kit (with picnic taps), I actually found it cheaper to go through Noble Grape - but the difference is that Everwood is selling new kegs where Noble Grape is selling used.

Also, welcome!! :cheers2:

Welcome!! :welcome: I hope you know what you are getting yourself into!

Joking aside, you're going to enjoy it! I started last May, and now heavy into brewing all grain and enjoying draft beer at my bar. Its awesome

I live in Westwood Hills and and would also welcome you out to a brew day, have a beer and a chance to check out the gear that I've accumulated over the last year.

Also, hit up Dave - he's right next to us and have an awesome supply of gear with great prices (same or less than Noble Grape or Ontario Beer Kegs and is local!). I do what I can to buy everything from him.

Again, welcome aboard!!

:cheers3:

Welcome, it's so easy to make your own beer I'm sure once you start you'll be hooked too.

The members here are full of knowledge and experience and have helped me a lot to get up and going, just ask.

Also, if you didn't know, both Everwood and Noble Grape offer a discount on most items if you tell them you're a Brewnoser member.
Currently on tap:
1) Festa Brown Ale
2) Festa Pale Ale
3) Best Case Northern Lights
4) Festa Continental Pilsner

In the bucket: Empty
In the carboy: Empty

Buy yourself a 24 and you'll be happy for a weekend. Teach yourself to homebrew and you'll be happy for a lifetime. :)

: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.
