hello from NJ

[andyjbrew]

Hi All!
I'm from NJ and here to learn and trade ideas on brewing. I just started brewing a few months ago and I just started my third batch the other day!

 

[ecd13]

Welcome from a fellow NJite. Crazy obsession you've become in. You're going to love it here.

Welcome to brewing. What part of NJ you from?

 

[foyt20]

Hey hows it going? Enjoy the site.

 

[ArcLight]

I too am in New Jersey (Millburn ) and recently started brewing.
I missed the last meeting at the Gas Light Brewery brewing club in South Orange :-(.
Gotta remember 2nd Sunday. Would have liked to taste those Pilsners ...

Can't argue with that. At least it is gardening season again....they haven't figured out a way to really tax you for that yet.

 

[ryan141]

I usually just tell people that I'm doin' time in jersey. Welcome to the forums!

 

[johnmcc]

Welcome to the obsession! Great people at the Gaslight, I usually stop in for a brew or 2 every week or so, good beers.

So fellow Jerzianz. Where do you buy your supplies? I have been buying online up until now and haven't found a place that sells brewing equipment or ingredients. Any suggestions?

Brewers Apprentice is the only LHBS I know of. I am in Middlesex county - alot of "north jersey" folks.

I hit up Princeton Homebrew in Trenton because I work near Philly.

 

[axeman9182]

Welcome! Nice to see a bunch of fellow NJ brewers are on the forums.

 

[johnmcc]

I get most of my stuff online from Northern Brewer, or I order from Gaslight

As far as ingredients, I use the group buy area on HBT. Buying grain by the sack, or DME / LME in bulk can slash costs. There are two places in Freehold also, Brewers Apprentice and Grape Beginnings.

As for equipment, I cobble my stuff together w/ coolers and large pots, kegging equip. and stuff on the cheap that i have stumbled upon over time.

 

[Blackfish]

I got all my start up stuff from Northern Brewer and continue to buy kits from them. As for LHBS, I use Keystone in Montgomeryville, PA.

 

[kapbrew13]

Morebeer has good service. And currently free shipping on $39. Just ordered a bunch of stuff, way too much, last night. ; )

 

[axeman9182]

I got my starter kit from Midwest Supplies, as well as ingredients for my first few batches. For my most recent batch though I ordered from Brewmasters Warehouse. I *really* like being able to build a recipe and import it right into my shopping cart.

Hows the shipping costs for brewmaster warehouse? Items are cheaper than buying it locally buy shipping costs sometimes makes it about the same as buying it locally.

I usually pay 6.99 from BW which makes it a couple bucks cheaper than MWS. I find that even with shipping it is a few dollars cheaper than BA in Freehold.

 

[njrockpd]

Brewers apprentice in freehold is the way to go. Good selection, knowledgable employees, and they are great people.

Have to support your local stores because they will get you out of a ****ty situation on brew day at some point.

I buy from Northern Brewer and Austin Homebrew when I go online. Both are excellent. When I buy locally, I go to Keystone in Bethlehem, PA. They have decent prices and very fresh yeast. Go to the Sands first and then, when you lose your money, go to Keystone.
