Pleasant side-effect of Brooklyn Brew Shop Kits

[CreamyGoodness]

I am about to brew my fourth beer. My first was an IPA kit from the Brooklyn Brew Shop that my wife got me as a gift, so I kind of jumped right in to all grain.

My favorite home brew shop is absolutely wonderful when it comes to service, so I asked if they could break a recipe for 5 gallons into 2 one gallon batches for me. "Sure, do you prefer solid or liquid malt" "Oh, no extract actually, I was looking for all-grain"

Both employees/owners and another shopper all stopped for a second to raise their eyebrows and nod with appreciation. "Ah, ok" the nice lady said with a smile, and made a call to the guy who handles all grain.

Just by using a kit I have somehow made myself part of the elite club. I dig that.

Thank you Brooklyn Beer Shop for making me an unknowing elite brewer and a novice at the same time

EVaRR??

Yes. I spent a year with mead and just recently branched out.

Ahh, mead: the forgotten brew. Wow, I never would have thought that, simply based on your level of activity on this site. Sounds like BBS is a nice place to have around.

How long have you lived in Astoria? I used to live off the Broadway stop on the N.

10 years . Live off the 30th Ave stop now, but lived off broadway for 4 years.

I would highly recommend the BBS kits to anyone who wants to make beer and see if it is for them.
