New guy from Jersey

[casechopper]

Hello,
My name is Sam,
I began lurking here about 3 months ago and have spent ~50 hours reading through posts.
I started 5 gallons of Apfelwein about a month ago and since then I've started 1 gallon of JAOM, 1 gallon of a modified recipe of JAOM, and a 5 gallon batch of all grain Haus Pale Ale. I figured I'd start all grain and see how it went.

So far I've spent ~$500 and I can see that I may be spending alot more on this hobby.


I'm a recently graduated Chemical Engineer and I'm looking to find a Chemical Engineering job in the Western USA. For now I'm working as a computer systems administrator and making alcohol!

Thanks for all of the information you guys have put up on the forums. If it wasn't for this forum I probably would never have gotten into this great hobby.

Welcome and Good Luck! you got started on some damn good recipes

Welcome, always good to have another Chem E around. The recipes you chose so far are proven winners, I know I've downed my fair share.

Welcome fellow Jerseyite!

There are a lot of brewers from No Jersey here and a couple of clubs you can join/meet up with.

I'll be back in Rockaway in a couple of weeks.

Hey Sam, How's it going? I am a new home brewer also, but from NY.
I was thinking about making Apfelwein this weekend. Is yours from the recipe form ed wort on the boards? That is the one I was going to follow. Have you tasted it yet, how is it?

I am using Edworts recipe. I haven't tasted it yet. For now I'm still collecting bottles and I figure it just gets better with age. I'll probably bottle the Haus pale ale first and then bottle the Apfelwein at 2-3 months.
