Homebrew Club Fayetteville, NC??

[LutzBrauerei]

Well I am hearing more talk about a Local Homebrew Supply Store right in Fayetteville. I'm actually getting a little excited. Having a place local to go for advice and also help with picking out ingredients will be awesome!

 

[Pitbull-brewer]

Granted I'm a newbie but I've been to American Homebrewers on several occassions with my "stupid question of the week" and i've never found them to be condescending, as a matter of fact quite the opposite, I've always found them to be very helpful. Anyhow, I know I'm coming to this post late since the last post was 9-22-2012. But I'd be interested in a Cape Fear area Homebrew club! I live in Erwin (just orth of fayettenam in Harnett County). I don't know what I could bring because I don't really know jack about brewing, yet. But I'm more than willing to help out. What i lack in knowledge I make up in enthusiasm.

Maybe I caught one of their workers on a bad day but the treatment I got the few times I went in left a bad taste in my mouth. So I stick with Wilmington Home brew. Not to say the selection at American is bad, they have great ingredients I just had bad luck I guess.

I think so... They're probably working out the details.

Well my friend and I will be brewing our first beers in December.

Awesome! What type of beer are you brewing? Keep us posted and don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions!

 

[brazedowl]

I've got my eye on a nut brown kit.

I think you'll really enjoy that one. Homebrewed nut browns taste so much more malty to me!

 

[brazedowl]

My goal is to get into a once a month brewing rotation I hope.

 

[Pitbull-brewer]

Any of you guys done any smash brews. I am hoping to pick up seom grain from grapes and hopes since I wash my yeast and have some extra hops. What have your experience with smash brewing been?

 

[brazedowl]

what is this smash brewing of which you speak?

 

[Pitbull-brewer]

To my knowledge smash brewing is where you use one grain and one type of hops to make a beer. you keep it simple so you can gain knowledge of how each grain and hop affects the different attributes of the beer. I did one a while back with Saaz and with pale 6 row, pretty drinkable session beer.

So has a club been started?

 

[brazedowl]

I think the club so far just consists of this thread.

 

[johnnync]

I would be interested. Haven't brewed but one beer, many many wines.

I'm going out on a limb here, but how many guys would be interested to get together on my next brew day (sometime in December)?

 

[brazedowl]

May be able to get behind that. Picking up my first kit to try next month.

December may be tough, but I could definitely try. January on the other hand I know I could work in about any Saturday or Sunday afternoon.

 

[johnnync]

Its one thing to read and search the web, but until you have some hands on and actually see or help it hard to grasp.

December is a busy month but maybe after the new year's would be better

 

[lynb]

I'd be in for after the holidays as well.

 

[Gbert_Brewer]

I could be in for a brew session after the holidays. Haven't brewed anything since I moved here from Oklahoma.

Plan on brewing a NB Nut Brown Ale kit next weekend. Need to work through brew day at a new house... should be easier than the old apartment.

Any all grain brewers?

 

[brazedowl]

I was looking at a nut brown kit too. Going to see if my friend will go in and get a kit with me too so we can get the free shipping.

 

[geetee]

Looks like a couple of you are interested in brewing a brown ale...let me know. Got a pretty good recipe I've been brewing for a couple years now.

From extract?

 

[geetee]

Yes...extract. Never have done anything all grain.

 

[brazedowl]

Awesome. Do you have the recipe posted on here? I may well just buy that stuff individually rather than a kit.

 

[Gbert_Brewer]

I've been brewing for a couple of years as well. I'm doing a kit just to get my brewing legs back under me... been out of it for about 6 months.

Not sure how many brews we would like to try to do at once? I normally make a Heffe from all-grain if anyone is intrested?

I've been doing all grain batches for about a year and some change.
