Central Jersey Homebrewers Thread

[BrewingViking]

Well I should have a free afternoon/weekend schedual in about 2 weeks. I can talk to the brewers apprentice and see if we can get the njcrabz going again. Anyone be interested in that?

 

[Hoplander]

Viking, I'd be interested. I was also thinking about Seeing if there was interest for a meet up at Jackson Surf Taco or Tipperary Pub and could probably talk one of those locations into hosting once a month. I know Tipperary being a newer bar would probably appreciate the business.

Welcome to jersey. If you're looking for a good lhbs try princeton homebrew. The pale ales homebrew club meets there too. Also give triumph brewpub a try if you haven't already.

Exit 12 joined jersey city brew club on FB but unable to make any meetings....

 

[BridgewaterBrewer]

See posts from hoppy hoppy hippo, me and Bobby M earlier in this thread. You might be able to attend meetings with WHALES or Ferment the world.

 

[BridgewaterBrewer]

A bit off topic, but there's a new nanobrewery starting up in Hillsborough, NJ. Flounder Brewing Co. P.S. They're looking for a welder... http://fb.me/1xoPA7XyK

I've read about Floundesr, really interesting ideas. I wish I had a more time friendly job cause I'd love to help them get started with anything I can do. Also gonna be a new Brewery opening in Toms River, Rinn Duin Brewing. Excited to have more breweries pop up. Hopefully they storm on the scene like Kane and Carton did. They quickly became my favorite NJ Breweries. Also River Horse had their last brew in Lambertville today. Moving to Ewing.

 

[BridgewaterBrewer]

Thanks for info. Didn't know River Horse was moving. If you're ever near Bridgewater try The Office on Rt 22. I was there once and they had cheap flights of local beers like Carton and Kane along with bigger names like Stone. A lot of IPAS to choose from. Getting back on topic, Ferment the World is meeting at Harvest Moon in New Brunswick Monday night 7:30. I'll be bringing an IPA and a SNPA clone that I particularly like.

Rinn Duin is being eagerly awaited at a few different spots in the ocean and Monmouth counties. The beers are good. All session ales in the English style. Can't wait for them to open come late June/July.

Also, the Ocean County Homebrew Club meets every second Tuesday of the month starting at 7:30 at the Tipperary Pub in Lakehurst. Next meeting is June 11.

Anyone know of any homebrew contests in NJ this year? There's one up in Sussex Co but looking for something closer if possible.

this one is coming up this summer. I think registration opens in July.

 

[hoppyhoppyhippo]

Maybe have to enter the brew my brother and I are working on. Figure it would be a nice add though I'm concerned we may be out of style for a blonde since we'll likely have too much hop aroma.

 

[Hoplander]

I'm brewing an American Rye for a club competition. Depending on how it turns out, I might send that in.

 

[BridgewaterBrewer]

I will enter my Sierra Nevada Pale Ale clone. It's about 5 wks in the bottle now and perfectly balanced but a little worried it will lose too much Cascade aroma by July. I guess I should put them all in the fridge now.

 

[BridgewaterBrewer]

On second thought, the SNPA clone has lost too much hop aroma/flavor in the last month or so; probably not worth entering it.

I don't know if they have them still but there's a beverage place in I want to say Woodbridge, though maybe it's Edison, I got 2 ball locks for 20 bucks each.

 

[Hoplander]

Hey everyone,

Ocean County Homebrewers are having a meeting tonight starting at 7:30pm at the Tipperary Pub in Lakehurst/Manchester. If anyone is interested in joining, stop by. We should be in the "Whiskey Room".

 

[BridgewaterBrewer]

LOVE2BREW is now selling kegs.

 

[ace0005]

otherwise known as baytucky.....so it's not central jersey..... but at least I work in East Brunswick

 

[BridgewaterBrewer]

So you're close to Love2Brew and Ferment the World.

 

[RoadKing]

I never heard it called Baytucky, There are some hicks here though.

 

[ace0005]

Love2brew and brew the world are both 1 to 1.5 away. I was using Brewers Apprentice for most of Mt brewing needs as they are about 30 minutes away. But I don't like then and have found their pricing to be expensive. they're comparable to shopping online prices. I've recently discovered that love2brew has fair pricing, and I don't mind the trip.
