Hello from Colorado

[COMiamiFan]

Hello all. New from CO as the thread title says

New to home brewing, but not new to forums.

First batch was an amber ale that ended up so-so, but great learnings from my first mistakes.

Second batch was a Belgian Saison that came out damn tasty! Finally success LOL

Now in the process of making an American Wheat infused with blueberries; currently fermenting.

Being my third batch I make I'm am no where near in having the experience and skills y'all have, but hope to learn and get at least 1/4 of the knowledge everyone on here has.

Cheers and thanks for having me.

Ha! I live in Pembroke Pines before I moved to Parker, CO in 2003. I lived off Pines road and 208th.

CO, welcome to home brewing, and we're glad to have you on HBT (I am anyway). Sometimes it's good to get a fresh new perspective from someone who might questions about things we've either never thought about, haven't considered in a while. It sounds like you're off to a good start. Keep up the good work, and brews, and don't hesitate to ask questions or ask for advise. You can take a look at the recipes for inspiration or ideas.

Thanks. You can be sure I will be lurking around. I'll also make sure to use the search bar before posting questions LOL

LOL didn't even know that was a thing. If I ever get to that level of brewing I will make sure to tag you in a post.

Well, that's hilarious. I live near Pines and 196th. I asked because I have a son who lives in Grand Junction.

Welcome from the northeastern plains. I know there are several other members along the front range... I’m kind of the Lone Ranger out here.

Not quite sure how to answer that beeing a noob and all, but here I'm thinking both. Seep grains and adding LME as called for.

so, partial-mash....

Grand Junction is way west of me.

On a side note, is there a post limit per day on this forum? Got an error message yesterday saying I have met my 5 post per day limit.

I haven’t heard about that restriction... I’m pretty sure there are members who post dozens of times daily. That would be a question for @HBT_Admin ,

I’d call that extract brewing. Partial mash or mini mash is a little different animal where a portion of your fermentables are derived from mashing a smaller size grain bill. Steeping grains used with extract are mostly for color and flavor.

I know new members have a limit until they've been here for a day or so. It's to make sure there is not a flood of spammers as occasionally they will post about 100+ times if there is no brakes.
I am pretty sure that you're past that limit now and can keep posting.

Welcome! Care to share your saison recipe?

It's a kit a bought at a local brew store. I'm not at the point that I make my own

OK thanks. Hopefully now that I've proven I'm not a bot, I don't have a limit

There's a limit? Whoa. I guess I had better slow down, then.

Welcome from Long Island NY.

Hello! I grew up in the northwest of Colorado, in the Arvada, Broomfiled, and Boulder areas. Post graduation, I’ve since moved out to the Bay Area. I still have family out in Colorado, so am there at least once or twice a year. I miss it terribly.

By chance I was recruiting at the University of Colorado during the Great American Beer Festival. I grabbed a last-minute ticket and was pretty impressed with the event (although initially confused by the 1 oz. pours). Have you ever attended the event?

Unfortunately, no I haven't attended. Always something going on that has stopped me from going
