Anybody in State College?

Yup! There is a fledgling club (CC Black hops) that met last week out at Elk Creek. I had a rehearsal so couldn't make it. They aren't good at posting details on their bulletin board, I think most is via email and I haven't gotten on that list yet.

I'm near Altoona.

Would be interesting to join. Sent them an email, we shall see.

I'm in State College! Brand new brewer. Curious where people get their supplies around here. Made a trip out to Nittany Valley True Value - seems OK for equipment, especially if you need a something small and don't want to pay shipping, but not much of anything in terms of ingredients.

Closest place that I know of is Bald Eagle Brewing Co. in Mifflinburg. I haven't been there though. You have to call (570) 966-3156, they don't respond to emails.

I just ordered some grain from Homebrew4less.com in Chambersburg, PA. I also like Keystone Homebrew Supply in Bethlehem. Something I have wanted to do is see if Otto's would order grain. Anybody ordered grain from Otto's?

Cheers,

 

[Anthrobrew]

Thanks!

Was recently in Mifflinburg for the Christmas market, but didn't know there was an HBS there. Kind of a haul from SC, but I'm in Millheim frequently enough and will have to drive the extra miles to check it out.

 

[Chattan]

Has anyone used Otto's as a source for grain?

 

[pjj2ba]

Once or twice about 5 yrs ago. A buddy of mine set it up. He's not brewing much these days. I got the impression it wasn't something they were interested in doing on a regular basis. Perhaps if you know the folks there well.

Fledgling "club" in Mill Hall. We are all just beginners, but have had success with Extract kits from Annapolis and Northern Brewers. Our name is Brewers And Drinkers Association (B.A.D. Ass.). We are just starting out and definitely love any hobby that includes beer! Just wanted to make ourselves known!

I'm in the Mill Hall area and would love to hear more about this new club. I've been doing Extract kits for almost 2 years, would definitely be interested in a local club, especially one that includes some other Extract brewers, I'm not ready to jump to All Grain yet. Hoping to do my first brew for 2013 tomorrow, if the weather permits.

My permanent address is in State College but I am currently in Williamsport PA for school. I am just wondering are there really any good lhbs stores? Seems to me PA is not ripe with lhbs's like some other states.

Since we don't have a lbhs, maybe we should consider a group buy.

 

[Oak_Brook_Brewing_Company]

I honestly thought about getting one together... A home brew store that is. We order together in mill hall every often. Probably again in a few weeks

 

[biohaz7331]

A LHBS would be awesome in State College. I am sure that homebrewing would grow a lot more in PA if there were actually more than a scarce few LHBS's

 

[ctrlpabrewer]

I live up near Snow Shoe and work at PSU. A LHBS would be awesome in State College!

 

[Chattan]

OK, Who is selling their "Home Brew Blowout" on Craigslist to me?

 

[pjj2ba]

No clue

State College resident here and homebrewer for about 3 years - would be really interested in participating in a local Home Brew Club.

 

[Chattan]

Welcome to the PA, umm, beer drinking club, er, beer making experts, gesh, we really only brew and drink beer...

 

[BeerInfinity]

Chattan - are there any active home brew clubs in the State College area do you know?

 

[pjj2ba]

CC Black hops unit, is slowly getting together and has had a couple meetings. The last couple meetings have been on Wed. nights and I have a conflict so I can't report on how things are going.

What pjj2ba said.
You can join the email list but I have not heard from them since I joined.

 

[BeerInfinity]

Just joined so hopefully there will be an upcoming meeting. Is anyone from the State College area attending NHC?

 

[pjj2ba]

I am.

 

[Chattan]

Nhc?
