No problem. You can always start one. I searched around for one as well before joining HoPS. I found a few brewers in the Gig Harbor area

Russ - From Puyallup here....

I've been brewing off and on for over twenty years now, the last ten with a two tier RIMS system.

Hey all! So we finally made it. It is lovely here! Everyone should cross them countryes some time! We settled for now in Kent but ive seen it also as east hills / meridian. Ive heard tell about larrys homebrew shop.

So if anyones down for wine making, we have a couple acres of blackberry. Would love to meet some folks here.

On my way to Yelm in not too distant future. Blackberry Honey ale is on my top 5 first to brew once I get in town. Looking forward to getting back to PNW.

Larry's would be your closest LHBS - on 212th if I remember correctly...

The Beer Essentials down in Tacoma is another pretty good place too.

Crossbow spray will take care of the blackberries. Welcome to the Pacific North Wet!

Hello from East of the Cascades (^0^/) MCZA member and garage propane stand brewer here, I'd use my RIMS but it only flips the breaker when plugged in

Hey There Shaine! Welcome to the fray….. I’m in West Richland; also an MCZA member. I don’t know if you were at the last meeting but I brought the Mexican Ale… Seemed to be a hit. I should’ve entered it in the quarterly contest. Dangit! None-the-less, welcome to HBT! See ya ‘round!

Cheers,

Larry's is an awesome place. I'm in Covington and am always looking to meet fellow brewers. We should do a swap sometime. Right now I have my amber my pale ale and a strawberry wheat beer on tap

Hello from Port Orchard. Been on here for a little over a year and never realized there is a WA forum on here, awesome!

Nice to see a local po guy we should do a brew some time

 

[Tubbster85]

Sounds good to me. PM me when you brew next time.

 

[Bensiff]

Wow, this is the longest introduction thread ever. Howdy from Puyallup. Trying to change over from gas fired to a 1/2bbl eHerms; but, with a colicky newborn the pile of steel to be brewstand remains uncut and unwelded. In the meantime, I probably should start looking for a club, but may be moving up north within the year so who knows, but it would be nice to brew with some other folks, my neighbors all think its weird and avoid me when I fire up the kettles...I think they fear non-Budweiser.

BTW, Tubster, right there with you, I have realized there was a WA forum, just never really paid enough attention to stick my nose in here.

the eHerms sounds great. I'd love to use my RIMS but it only succeeds in tripping my breaker. I'll see if any of my club members are willing to take a look at the wiring.

Well, the Southern BBQ has gone unclaimed and Friday we hit the road. By next week we'll be Seattle transplants. This weekend is New Orleans and on from there, 3000 miles! So, if anyone has any leads on housing around Renton I might just throw down that BBQ!

Did you make it yet? Let me know I'm down for putting some ribs on the smoker and having a few brews

We did! We landed on a 60 acre former farm between Kent and Covington. I've had a PM from some folks so yeah, I'll throw something together soon. It'll have to be country pit style for now but I'm well versed. I don't have any brew to share just yet but I found total wine (crazy store!!!) and 99 bottles so i can grab some goodness.

Cool. Great area for that business. Probably selling out of ammunition right after shipments just like everyone else.

 

[TheMadKing]

Hey all from Pullman! Been lurking for awhile and decided to join the fun. I'm a recent graduate to all-grain brewing and going with BIAB method. I also joined the Facebook group for HOPS (homebrewers of the palouse) recently, so I hope to attend a few meetings, get to know some of you, and learn a thing or two!

 

[pnwpiper]

Hi from Olympia. Just starting out but having a blast already.

 

[Ginger12]

Hi from tacoma wa

 

[seatazzz]

Hi all from Covington! Started brewing about 2 months ago with a donated Mr Beer kit, moved quickly to 5 gallon batches and doing my second AG batch today a hoppy pilsner. Russ at Larry's has been a huge help every time I've been in (about 10 times now). Glad to see a state thread!

 

[Horseflesh]

Woodinville here. Started on extract about 3 years ago, moved to AG in coolers about 2 years ago, this year I am moving up to electric with some automation.

 

[EPbrew]

I didn't know there was a state thread until today! It would be nice to see a little more activity on here!

 

[baumer64]

I just started extract brewing last month. Boiled my second batch Saturday. I'm in North central WA.
