Wow, that's ridiculous! I got mine at a local shop, Hartford beer and winemakers warehouse. I think it was $54. It's a great shop. Had a bad reputation for a long time, but it's under new ownership now.

Man, these instructions are terrible - Step 7: if your kit came with flavor hops, add now, etc.. Step 8: if your kit came with flavor hops, add now Again, not a huge deal, but ugh. I know the beer will be fine either way, but if it's a clone kit it should be more accurate. They only have 5...

Sounds good.. Thanks for the quick reply!

Hey guys, I just started a Rogue brutal IPA kit and I'm steeping the grain right now. The next step is to put the largest package of DME in, but there are 3 bags - a 3 lb bag of sparkling amber, a 3 lb bag of golden light, and a 1 lb bag of golden light. Does the two bags of golden light count...

Welcome! Sounds like you're getting serious! I also have a great girl (girlfriend) that appreciates the hobby and we're brewing some irish stout right now. She just got back from AZ actually, and brought some Old Monkeyshine Ale from Nimbus brewing co. in Tucson. pretty good stuff!

Have any of you ever been to American Flatbread in Burlington? Went there the last time I went to visit my bro. The house beer was pretty good.. I had a nice citrusey IPA, and probably some of the best pizza I've ever had Welcome, Andreas!

Thanks! Nutmegger works too.. I just checked wikipedia and it lists Connecticuter/Connecticutian as the official demonyms, and Nutmegger as colloquial. I've never heard anyone use "Connecticuter" before

Welcome, from another CT noob!

glad I could help! Let us know what you think of the place.. I originally wanted to go there, but ended up going somewhere a little closer to me, and they were open later. Looks like I would have gotten a better deal at Maltose. They have some really good reviews on beeradvocate.com (...

Welcome Mike, Recently on How Stuff Works on the Discovery channel, there was an episode on beer.. They featured the owner of Maltose Express in Monroe, CT, which is about a half hour from Norwalk. I wonder if I was in that same neighborhood years ago... The one time I was in Norwalk, my...

Thanks for the welcome! The guy I bought the kit from actually pointed me to How To Brew.. I've looked it over, but will definitely give it a thorough read before I start. Looks like a great resource The kit came with cascade hops, victory and crystal grain, and 6.6 lbs of light malt...

Hi from S. Windsor, CT... about to get started on my first home brew. I just got a brewers best IPA kit to start out with - Figured it would be a good way to go to get a handle on the process before I start experimenting. Wish me luck! - JT
