[Schmidtfaced]

Hello brewers,
Just wanted to say that another northern va homebrewer has joined the ranks.

If anyone In the nova area is looking for an apprentice or just someone to brew with I could use the experience.

Hello. Unfortunately we are headed to wv for skiing all weekend. BringIng my first batch to share with the family. I won't be able to make sun. Do you brew often? I would live to see the all grain method first hand. I have been acquiring the all grain equipment for months now.

I brew every 2 or 3 weeks. Drank 14 gallons last weekend at my housewarming, so i need to make more!

Murphy's bev in Winchester is disappointing. Any better LHBS near leesburg?

Flying Barrel in Frederick is... OK.

Get in on the MD Grain group buy.

Find a few locals that .... say.... want to split a few sacs of Crystal of various lovibond's.....

I'm new to the scene as well. Flying Barrel is nice (and very local for me), but I think the Maryland HomeBrew Store in Columbia has a bit more selection. Some of their inventory is a hair more expensive than the Barrel's, but good place to swing by if you're in the area. I've done a couple Cooper's kits already and have a modified extract recipe in the primary now. I look forward to jumping into a partial mash on the next batch and I'm always open to tips and tricks.
