New from Philly Area (Jersey)

Hi all. New brewer from Audubon, NJ

Been lurking for about two months since I bought a homwbrew kit in September or so. I'm on batch 3 already (4 if you count EdWort's apfelwein which I started yesterday) and starting to feel I got extract brewing with specialty grains somewhat under control. Starting to focus on things like fermentation temperature control (my main bogey right now), use of starters/pitching enough yeast, faster wort chilling, late extract addition, better aeration, use of yeast nutrients, use of finings, oxidation control, use of secondary, record keeping, etc. before I move on to partial mashing/all-grain, kegging (although I kind of like the 22 oz bottles), tweaked/original recipes (only kits so far), etc

Anyway, great site and glad to be aboard

I sent you a PM with some extra info. The more the merrier for the group and the Big Brew Day. The group meets the first Tuesday of each month at 7pm in the back room of Iron Hill, Maple Shade (it usually starts at the bar an hour or so ahead of time). All are welcome, and if you bring ANY of your homebrew (good or bad), its always a plus. The Big Brew will be on 5/1 in the lot behind Iron Hill, and will likely be all day, starting in the morning.

Thanks. Count me IN!
I hope to brew at least 10 maybe 20 gal of AG
