Welcome back to brewing and welcome to HBT!
I think you will see many improvements with ingredients and equipment.

Welcome to the forum!

Where in Vermont? I'm from outside of Bennington, and live not too far from the border now.

Thanks guys!

Lord Master EAC - glad I read that thread!

Hey Jester, Welcome aboard! there are 2 of us in springfield, and we have planned to get together, but it hasn't happened yet. I am new to the area, but I am pretty sure your only 40 minutes away or so... we 3 should do some brew damage together... Enjoy the board, and I have still not read that thread yet

I am also coming back after a similar hiatus...

I got married in Stowe! My wife is from Fletcher, a small town on the other side of the mountain. She grew up going to Smuggs.

Welcome to the forum. It's nice to see the Vermont contingent growing here.

Hey glibbidy, thanks for the welcome!

I did some home brewing 20 or so years ago B.K. (before kids). The youngest heads off to college in the fall so I'm looking at some retirement projects.

In the past I used MontMillich (sp?) malt and actually grew my own hops. I remember brewing in 5 gallon plastic pails, washing bottles in the bathtub and priming the bottles with corn sugar before bottling. I bought supplies from the Brick Store in Strafford VT & Honey Gardens in W. Lebanon NH (both gone).

I've got a lot of questions about kits, carboys, sources for bottles, books, etc.

Pleased to have found this site.

I thought I would chime in - seeing a fellow Vermonter is always a cool thing since we are such a small state pop. wise.

Welcome!

I live in Bridgewater, close to Long Trail Brewery.

Fellow Vermonters -

Glad to see your posts, and I hope to meet u someday at a local homebrew club - any suggestions ??

Glib mentioned something about hosting another get-together in the not-too-distant future; be great to see some new faces there. If that falls though, I'll host something next month.
