757 Home Brewers

[BruJay]

Bump!

Born in Portsmouth, raised in Chesapeake living in Portsmouth now with wifey and our three boys. I'll be starting EVMS in January, but love home brewing as my "it's not medicine" passion. I've been brewing beer for about a year, and recently made a cooler mash tun. I got some Black Friday gear today and will be doing my first all grain batch next month (Centennial Blonde). Would love to chat with some locals, make some new friends, and/or join a club (if possible).

I need to join this group!

Living in vab by little check. Brewing up a storm. Working on my technique, and pliny clones. Trying to get hazy-ness down.

Brewing is too much fun. I'm going to get it though. Look out Sam, Jim and Russian River... I'm coming for you

Nice. There is a small group of us that get together occasionally. Let me know if you're interested in getting up for some brewing/sampling. I'm also in VA Beach (assuming you're by Little Creek), and brew several times a month.

I am still active. Not sure how many others are. Shifted somewhat over to FB, so don't do as much on HBT. Look up Coastal Virginia Homebrewers Guild on Facebook.

We are getting by right now on Zoom for meetings... lots of local brewery sample-pack group buys with brewers joining the meetings to talk about their beer and answer questions.

Still running the barrel program... have a yeast ex-beer-iment in the works.

Trying to keep the club active in the current environment. Most folks seem to be OK with it.

I know at least one guy *cough* me *cough* who will still have people over on brew days

Yeah i noticed the homebrew supply owner ( i think he is the owner) mentioning it on the group which is cool bc im still learning the yeast side of things.

Id love to have experienced people over, or anyone really, bc I still am learning and improving my process. Its easy to ask questions over the net but nothing beats in person advice/experience. Im actually brewing saturday most likely.. i have a belgian strong waiting for me lol.

Im definitely up for some brew days. Looking to upscale my setup into 15G TC Spike MLT and BK 2V system.
