Cheers from Vancouver, WA.

Hello to all you brewers out there!

I have been brewing occasionally off and on for the past 4-5 months and just recently decided that I absolutely love the craft!

So far I have brewed a IIPA (AG), IPA(AG), Raspberry Wheat(AG), ESB(Extract), and helped with a Hazelnut Brown(Extract). All turned out great so far, except the ESB could have been much better if I had made some changes.

Rounding up supplies to do a pumpkin ale (extract) on Saturday.

Am in the process of deciding on which route I would like to take as far as upgrading my equipment over the next 6 months in order to do proper all grain brewing as I only have capability to do extract at home right now.

Anyways, I look forward to reading around and learning as much as I can through the forum! I hope to be able to make some good contributions as the years go by as well.

Cheers!

Welcome! I'm in Vancouver, too. There are a lot of brewers here but I'm not sure how many are on this forum.

I only know of a few people home brewing in vancouver, but then again I have only been in it a short time. I am trying to get more friends and family involved but most of my close friends (local) aren't quite as enthusiastic about beer as I am.

Nor mine. I don't specifically know a lot of brewers, but Bader's seems to do well and I have bought/sold a lot of brew gear on CL in this area and have met some that way. .

Is there a Vanc brew club?

Not that I am aware of. Bader's is usually decently busy when I am in there so it makes sense. But I would assume that is typical of most area's around here.

I know that there are some actual brewpub's/nano-breweries starting to pop up in Vancouver too.

Welcome! I'm across the river - I brew with a few guys first and third Wednesdays, check the blog if you're interested and stop by and have a beer.

Browsed through it a bit on my phone this morning. Looks like a pretty good time you guys are having!

Is there a link to that? Maybe I just can't see it with the iPhone app.

It's in his sig so you won't see it via the app.

I'm here on the forum from Vancouver, WA.

Welcome pdxbg!!

Thanks!

Anybody in the Vancouver/PDX area have a single tier setup? I'm debating on building one.

Welcome!

^How did that Juniper strong ale turn out? I remember you telling me about it but couldn't remember if I followed up on that.

It came out amazing. One of the best I've made to date. I plan on remaking it very soon with lower fermentation temps. It was just a bit too estery for my taste.

Heyo Vancouver!

There is a homebrew club here in Vancouver, but I just moved over from Portland about a year ago and haven't checked it out. I want to say it's Plato Republic?

Got real busy with the brewery and haven't had time to check it out.

Cheers!
