New from Boston Area!

[BostonHomeBrew]

Hi fellow imbibers of the fermented grain!

I'm a new homebrewer living in the Boston area. I grew up in Michigan, lived in N Cali for ~6 years (not a bad place for beer) and just moved to New England last year (not a bad place either). I have a pretty basic set up... 7.5 gal kettle, immersion cooler, a couple bucket primaries and a 5 gal better bottle for secondary. The guy who lived in our place before us built a "saute station" which is basically a mobile turkey fryer burner with a nice stone slab table next to it on our deck... so naturally I turned it into the BREWMASTER5000.

I found HBT through some Google searches and it looks like the best thing online when it comes to learning about homebrewing. I'm on my 2nd batch (a basic Irish Stout), my 2nd read of the Palmer book, and have already made enough mistakes to last me a season. I have a midwest supplies pale ale kit coming my way this week and I can't wait to tear into it.

I'd love to connect with folks in the Boston area to share tips and tricks, and (of course), sample the results!

Welcome to the hobby, the forum, and the region. I'm a little west of you, but there are a lot of Boston area brewers on here.

Hey Greyhound! Thanks for the welcome! You ever hit up any of the HB clubs around here? I was thinking about checking out the next wort.org meetup...

I work in Worcester, so I belong to the WIZARDS who meet in the Worcester area. I don't have any experience with any of the other clubs, but I have heard of WORT.
