Dutch brewer

[Koffie]

Hi,

Just a quick, simple introduction thread from me.
I'm Richard from The Netherlands.
Two years ago I started brewing with my neighbour, first with just malted hopextract from a can, later all-grain.

We converted two 50 liter keg into keggle's, one for the mash and for the boiling. Future plan is to build a HERMS, but first we have to collect more parts.
Since English isn't my main language, expect some grammar mistakes from me

Welcome to the forum! It's good to see more Europeans homebrewing. Hopefully it will catch on like it has over here!

For a small country like the Netherlands, we have quite a big homebrewing community

welkom, richard!

don't be too modest - like just about every dutchie i've ever met (and i've spent a lot of time in NL, some of my best friends live on the Overtoom in A'dam), your english is probably better than many so-called native speakers.

great to hear that homebrewing in popular in holland!

@Sweetcell: You're making me blush

Today I did some shopping:

I plan to brew tommorow night, this for 2 batches of 35 liters.
I smacked the Wyeast immediatly after buying and now it looks like it's going to explode. Tonight I will poor it in a big bottle with some wort from an earlier brew, to get some more yeast.
