No idea other than 'wet'...

I use a filtration system for my brewing water (as well as cooking and drinking). Goes down to a .2 micron filter. With that, I get great brews time and again.

Hi Carusoat, welcome! I'm located in New Ipswich. Just south of.... well, just east of... um, just west of..... Actually in the middle of nowhere!

Welcome to the north, Bulls! Not too far a cry from the tropical south you where you live now.

New ipswich here too....you got that right about the middle of nowhere!!

Hey Wit! Good to hear there is someone else in this town brewing.

 

[wit2003]

Yea it's good to find another brewer right in town!!

I just finished my basement bar too!

 

[Heineken]

I'm in Mont Vernon. On a well and have a filtering and softener system. Water is pretty clean of anything and works well.

Just moved back to NH, in Windham now. Grew up in New Boston/ Amherst when I was younger.

 

[Oginme]

Welcome back!

 

[Bulls Beers]

Amherst is where I'm looking. Now if only I can find something that I like. Hollis maybe and third choice would be Merrimack. I was looking at Bedford, but it's a little too far north for me, plus I really don't want to live next to Manchester.

Are you looking to move somewhere? Where do you work. Windham was a great option for us, because it's 10-15 minutes to nashua, 15 minutes to manchester, right next to salem/over the border on 93, and we commute to burlington ma. Plus the schools are good.

Weare here!

Are there any active lakes region members around?

Murphy2012, check out the Winni Area Brew Crew.

I've been trying to reach out to them for a couple of weeks with no results at all, unfortunately. I am going to reach out to the Capital Area Club since I work in Hooksett and come home through Concord.

Makes me still wish I lived in the seacoast, it seems that there are some active folks from there.

 

[Carusoat]

Well that's annoying. Good luck though. I've been considering joining Brew Free or Die since I met some members this summer, but I keep forgetting until after the month's meeting haha.

 

[Murphy2012]

Thanks it's odd, they were even on the news or chronicle last night showcasing their Bob house brewing they do every year. Oh well, hopefully I hear from them at some point.

Hey, I'm a member of the Concord Area Homebrewers - we'd be glad to have new blood. Check us out on FB. The holidays screwed up our schedule but we normally meet the 3rd thursday of the month. Except this month we combined our Xmas Party (this coming Sat.) with the Jan meeting. We have members from all around Concord and the surrounding area as well as Manchester.

Thanks, Geoff. One of my co workers (Don Eaton) is one of your members and has been trying to get me to go for a while so I guess I will have to. Thanks!
