New from NJ

[Grist]

Greetings from NJ! New to brewing and jumped straight into all grain. Made my first batch of a Fat Tire Clone since I can't get it out here in NJ and it actually came out really close :rockin: Looking forward to getting tips and ideas from everyone here. I already learned a ton from just reading your posts.

Bobby_M and I are like 5 minutes from you. I'm in Metuchen myself...

Good stuff man. I am actually looking to buy a house in Metuchen in June. Right now I'm San Fran until Feb 20th but if you guys ever meet up at any brew pubs after that let me know.

We brew together sometimes at Bobby's place in Piscataway. You're right near Harvest Moon brewpub, which is pretty good with a cool brewer. If you're looking for a townhouse in Metuchen, let me know...

Nice to see more NJ brewers coming out of the woodwork. I'll be looking to put together another brewout get together soon enough. Hope to pull in a few other locals.

I heard Harvest Moon has some Cask-Conditioned Ale right now every Friday after 4? Stuck out west right now though so I am not sure if they do or not.

Everytime I'm at HM there is nothing on cask. It'd be nice though...

me too! where do you buy your ingredients/equipment? i'm just starting to get into brewing.

 

[Bobby_M]

I'm guessing brewer's apprentice www.brewapp.com

I do stop by there if I need bottles or hops that I can't get online, but for the most part I pretty much get my ingredients from austinhomebrew.com or morebeer.com.

The brewers apprentice is a great place, run by really great people. I just dont always feel like taking the 30 minute drive to get there.

 

[Bobby_M]

I only go there when I desperate for a sack of grain. Their priority is their brew on prem customers, then the supply shoppers. Sometimes you'll stand around for a half hour before they get to you.

That is definitely true. Always be prepared to stand around for a while until someone notices you.

I actually just bought a 10 gallon cooler from a yard sale over the summer. Made most of the other equipment. Was at Home Depot just about everyother day for awhile.

Other than when my then g/f (now wife) and I were living in Harrison for a few years I've been a life long OB resident. I graduated from OBHS in '95. So if any of your friends are in that age group, I may know 'em...
