Did anyone venture out to Troeg's to get some Naked Elf? I love Mad Elf and this version sounded interesting but I wasn't able to get any...

I have had it before, it is very good. That reminds me, maybe it is time to open my 3 liter of mad elf

 

[wobrien]

Does anyone have any Naked Elf they'd be willing to sell/trade?

You're going to need some help with that

Anyone in the Northeast and looking to exchange home-brews? I just wanna get some other feed back other than myself and few craft beer drinker that are my friends.

I'd be willing to trade a few bottles if you're interested. Also in the Northeast.

Im about to move in a few weeks to wynnewood! Looking forward to enjoying the beer in the area. Also, looking at joining the mainline brewers. I was in town a few weeks ago and couldnt get enough of tired hands, my wallet hates that I can walk there.

 

[wobrien]

Welcome to the area. I really enjoy tired hands' beer too. They brew up some nice beers.

Anyone know of some welders? I was going to build my rack out here at my buddies shop but ran out of time.

Do I know a welder in Fort Irwin, CA? No.

Do I know a welder in Fort Irwin, CA? No.

i dont know why i find this so funny but it is.
probably because i was thinking the same thing.
i know a kid who does welding on the side.
he might be down to help.

aside from that, i live in chinatown and would really like to step up my brewing game.
right now im limited to stovetop in my tiny new place.
but i do rock an 8g pot on 2 burners and its pretty nice.
especially in the winter.
if anyone could use a hand with either an outdoor all grain brew or any ind of bigger setup in return for some knowledge, id be glad to help.

Hey Josh, I recognize you from somewhere... Shenanigan=usrower


Moved downtown recently (west washington square) and just brewed my first IPA in my kitchen. Old electric stoves can push out a lot of heat which surprised me. Don't need a propane burner. The ferm fridge was an essential though.

Howdy folks. Located in Central Bucks (Warminster). Still looking around for any local brewers.


Heard a local homebrewer is opening up a small operation in Hatboro next month. Calling himself Crooked Eye Brewing.

That's a true story...

There are more than a few locals to you. I'm in a local club called GLUB. We meet in Chestnut Hill which isn't far from you. We have a meeting next thursday at Campbell's Place on Germantown at 7:30pm. More than welcome to join us for the evening if you want to meet some locals...

 

[gone_fishing]

Thanks Gitmoe. Thursday is my oldest son's birthday. Maybe next time.

Right on. Happy Birthday to the soon slightly older oldest son...

We meet the last Thursday of every month. Same place, same time...

There are several other clubs in the area. I'm sure some of the guys and gals in those clubs will chime in. This thread is usually fairly active.

 

[gone_fishing]

I have a couple of questions:

Where are the best places for single bottles/six packs north of town (Glenside/Abington)?

Does anyone in the same area wash yeast and have a good Belgian Strain I can get a sample of (Westmalle, Chimay, Chouffe)? I'll trade brews or some of my limited strain collection. I'm stocked up on everything but yeast and over beer budget but want to brew!

cold, head on over to Union Jack's Glenside location. you'll be paying takout prices though. Where in the area are you? a couple of us are in/outskirts of G-side. Otherwise head up 611 to Wegman's in Warminster.

I live in Jenkintown and work in Glenside. Thanks for the recommendations.

SWMBO and I are going out that night. I would love to join a club, but I don't think I've got the time right now. Maybe I'll try and make it some time.
