New member in Maine

Hi all!

I am Mike, and I live in Maine (tho I am really a Kentucky boy.) A little over 10 years ago, I brewed several batches, but soon life got in the way. I moved to Maine 3 1/2 years ago, specifically to simplify my life. It has worked! I now have a lot more free time, so decided to start up brewing again.

I currently have a brown ale (from a kit) in primary. I am off to KY for the weekend. When I get back I am going to rack to secondary. I hope to have it bottled and conditioned by early to mid January, as a wine making friend is having a wine tasting, and I hope to take a few bottles of the ale, for sampling.

I am not sure what I am going to go for next. Any ideas?

Mike

Hmmm well maybe try an red ale. I don't know just a thought. Welcome to the site though.

Bee Cave Brewery's Haus Pale Ale is pretty popular. I just tapped into a batch of this I did last month for game night, and I don't think much will make it through to the game I think the recipe is linked through the recommended recipes sticky in the recipe forum.

Hey hey.. another Maine brewer!

When you get back, head up to the homebrew shop in Farmington, ask them for a good seasonal to start on. I am sure there are some deals / specials going on.

Hey mainah! Thanks for the suggestion. I love that shop. They are very helpful there! Mike
