Clubs in Northern IE?

Just started kegging, and am looking for those in the northern IE area to share brews with, make beer with, and possibly do group buys.

I usually drive all the way to riverside for morebeer. I will check out ulv on monday
I go to poly, and might be able to get some of my homebrewing professors to join in.

They should think about changing their name.. Vanguard is a long term securities investment company.

I've been brewing for about six years. First five years were spent brewing extract, just made the jump to all grain last December. I usually brew once per month (5 gallons). I installed a ball valve on a 15 gallon kettle, so 10 gallon batches here I come!

How about you?

I'd also be interested in a group buy if it makes sense. I'm pretty well stocked at the moment though. I've got about 80lbs of grain and 4 lbs. of hops on hand.

Only about 6the months here but ive been brewing 5 gallons a week since i started. All extract and partial mash till now but i got a 52keg quart xtreme and hope to start all grain as soon as i brew these last two partial mash kits i have.

Im in the need of grain and hops... hopsdirect has pellets about 10the bucks a pound so i think ill be ordering as soon as they get more citra up
