CT Brewers Check-In

[Bowtiebrewery]

Thanks, I'll contact Aquarion about it. I know eventually I should just send a sample to Ward Labs, but I've been lazy...

Last call for a 10gal brew kettle and 8gal fermenter! Moving this week. $40 for both.

If you're ever looking to sit in on another brewday to pick up some tips, or have someone sit in on one of yours, I'm just a town or two to the north...

Who knew we had so many brewers here from CT?


I have a single tier 3 keg system. Brewing in my garage for the winter. I’ll brew anytime and I welcome others if you want to brew on my setup.

Decide to brew this past Saturday night at 8pm. Was hosing off my kegs at 1:30am. sleep is for the dead.

On tap: Choc Porter, Choc Candy Cane Choc Porter and a couple Lagers just kicked.
But I still have a White wheat citrus spiced (Jesus Juice), IPA or 2, Brown Ale, Vienna Lager (Wife Beater) and maybe something else on tap.

Let’s have a gathering.

Jay

Heyo! New(ish) to the homebrew scene. Been making wine for a few years now, just started with mead, and beer.

[agentpinwheel]

Hi Guys,

Brand New here, from Stratford Area. Been brewing for 6 years now, have lived in CT for a year and a half. Just saying hi!

 

[JohnnyO]

Hello Agent. If you're looking for a club, there are a few in the area. I'm involved with Brew Haven, which is New Haven based. There is also the Underground Brewers of CT, which is New Haven-Fairfield and the 2nd oldest consistently run club in the country (I think that's the distinction.)

I'm sure there's other clubs in the area.

 

[agentpinwheel]

Hey JohnnyO,

Thanks! I just joined the Brew Haven Facebook group. Looking forward to learning from you guys, I'm getting ready to switch to all grain this summer now that I have a big backyard. Hope to see you around!

Anyone heard of any semi-local competitions coming up? I have a decent pipeline built up right now and I'd like to get some judge results before I drink it all haha.

Anyone in the Hebron area??? I just set up a rig.... I have been brewing for 15 years most of the time all grain. Looking to go pro at some point. Just make a RIMS 10 gallon setup and some fermentation temp control is on its way this week! Wouldn't mind someone to collaborate with.. tasting, brewing etc

 

[YD_Stretch]

Hey Leblais,

I'm in Hebron and would love to check out your new rig. I've got some time off next week and could stop over to check out / swap stories and samples. Once I get to a computer, I'll shoot you a PM. Thanks for posting.
