I posted an intro in a separate thread ... howdy from the Bothell / Mill Creek area.

LHBS of choix is MicroHB in Kenmore
5G AG batches utilizing a reddnek HERMS system
solo brewer as all my brew buddies have moved on to other priorities/interests. average one brew day per month

 

[Horseflesh]

If anyone around Seattle is selling a decent mill, please send me a PM.

howdy folks. moved here from the east coast about a year and a half ago.

in case anyone is looking for a far-eastside brew club, there is the Mt. Si Brewing Society (https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/mt-si-brewing-society). very laid-back group.

for those looking for decently-priced grain, especially by the sac, you should check out Mt. Si Homebrew Supply (www.mtsihomebrew.com). i used to be part of a group buy back in DC, and Mt. Si Homebrew's prices are essentially the same. $40-something for 2-row, $60-something for imported pils, and MO is either in the upper 60's or low 70's, i forget. a really, really nice couple the run the place and they're great resources for information.

 

[Rodent]

Mt Si is good peeps. I'd visit them more often, but it's a bit of a drive for me

last time I was there they also had an interesting selection of 'distilling novelties' for those that are interested in more than just beer/wine

I figure I'll chime in with a 'hello' from the PNW, when I first got into homebrewing and joined here, I was in the SLC area, but now I'm out NW

Welcome!

 

[Horseflesh]

Welcome from Snohomish-ish!

 

[pompeiisneaks]

Thanks! anyone here get together for a few pints now and then eastside? Say Malt and Vine or? Even in a brewpub etc? Meetup time?

~Phil

 

[Horseflesh]

I'd be up for that. Lots of good places around the eastside. Triplehorn in Woodinville is great, I also like Cairn in Bothell.

 

[pompeiisneaks]

Cool, I'm out of town right now, maybe sometime next week.

Hey everyone! Just completed my first extract brew. Have been doing a lot of reading and lurking on forums. I’ve already bought supplies to convert to BIAB. I know I don’t have much experience but can already tell this is going to be an addiction! Would love to be a part of the local home brew community. I live just south of Micro Homebrew in Kenmore.

welcome!

suggestion: join a homebrew club, and share the obsession. plenty of clubs around you, check out https://www.homebrewersassociation.org/community/clubs/find-a-homebrew-club/

Washington Homebrewers Association wahomebrewers.org keeps a list and map of active clubs in the state. I would suggest checking there first. Cheers!

 

[doug293cz]

Welcome to the obsession! And, congrats on making the move to all grain.

Brew on

 

[shoengine]

BIAB is great. Also, the PNW is great. What more is there to want?

 

[Rodent]

welcome aboard Kenmoron!

Microhomebrew is good peeps - so cool you're just down the way from them

 

[tmschmal]

anyone planning to make the trip to homebrewcon in RI this year?

 

[shoengine]

Nope. Not on the menu, unfortunately.

 

[stillshinen]

Here on Mercer Island. Brewed a 10 gallon batch IPA last weekend. Flying up to Juneau for a compition next week! Any other brewers on the island?

 

[Glocke_Ale]

Hello from Puyallup, although this thread seems to have died some.

 

[Horseflesh]

Welcome @Glocke_Ale

@Kenmoron did you ever find a club? You are in http://cascadebrewersguild.com/ territory.

 

[Glocke_Ale]

@Horseflesh thanks!

Has anyone else in the Tacoma/Puyallup area had any problems getting the water analysis from Summit Water Co.?

 

[Rodent]

Welcome @Glocke_Ale

 

[glienhard]

Nope, there are several folks that watch this. Welcome to the thread

too bad the webpage activities don't go past last Sept. I don't FB due to work policies, so even though I'd love to know more about the current meeting dates/locations I'm left out with catching a group hang

 

[glienhard]

I know that CBG has a webpage too. You can find the link to it (and most other WA clubs) on the WAHA site, wahomebrewers.org
