New brewer from Ohio

[tayclem]

Hey everyone!

I've been brewing for a few months, and I was looking for more info/ideas.

Mostly, I've been doing extract brewing (I used steeping grains for just one batch), but I'd like to start dipping my toes into the partial mash/all-grain pool.

My favorite brews are IPAs, Double IPAs, and Irish Stouts.

I've been trying to develop a citrus/mint Weiss style for spring, but I just can't seem to get any of the batches right. My white whale, if you will.

I hope I can learn enough to finally nail this recipe lol

Welcome! Where in OH? I'm in Cincy.

Good luck on the Weiss. Not my thing, but whatever works for you!

Northern Ohio. Almost smack in the middle between Toledo and Cleveland.

So near Sandusky? I was up there this summer. My gf went to Cedar Point and I went to Catawba Island Brewery. Cool place.

Yeah, I'm about 30 minutes south of Sandusky. I haven't been to Cedar Point in a long time though; not much of a rollercoaster fan lol.

I didn't know there was a brewery up there. Did it just open, or am I a terrible local?

I'm over in Sheffield myself,between Lorain & Avon,North of Elyria. The Giant Eagle on the corner of Rts 254 & 301 from me has one hell of a beer cooler. Lots of craft beers,lambics,imports,etc. My son kinda liked the one on Catawba island. Haven't been their yet myself.

LOL. Don't know. First time I was up there was this summer. They did seem new though. They only had a few beers and they weren't selling growler fills because they ran out of beer some nights previously. And they we're trying to quickly force carb a beer and they were selling it almost flat (but explaining to people). Hopefully they've got it together a little better now.

Welcome to brewing and to the forum. I'm brewing a half barrel of APA tomorrow. I don't think you are that far away if you'd like to join me. Happy brewing fellow buckeye.
