Who is brewing on Long Island?

[pwm74]

i shoot a fan up the outside stairs, how long did the co linger for at 7ppm. whats your saison recipe look like.

 

[yak80yak]

I turned the whole house fan on and it cleared out pretty quickly.The saison blows me away.Pun intended.This was the first time i used 3711 yeast.
the stuff is a beast.FG 1.003 OG1.095. I had to put a blow off about 6 hrs after pitching.

Hey guys, Don here from smithtown.
You could name your brew from sandy, "Blow Hard Saison"

Yes , I do

1 in the basement and a hard wired one on the second floor. It went off twice when I had the 23 tip burner, which also left a lot of soot. Changing too 10 although takes a little longer creates no soot and carbon dioxide sensor happy. The basement is only accessible through bilco doors which I leave open when I brew.

Just remember co is heavier than air, and will stay in the basement if left undisturbed.

 

[yak80yak]

french for blowhard is"souffler fort"
german is blasen hart
I think good ol american "blow hard saison" works real well.
Thanks for the name
CO is about the same wieght as air and mixes well with it.Propane is heavier and will pool on the floor

Thanks for the info.
I don't know what's worse, the fact that I was misinformed or that I, in turn, have been misinforming people for years now.

I think it is Radon that is heavier than air and will pool in the basement if left undisturbed. That is why I had a fan sucking air out from under my basement slab in Pennsylvania.

 

[Johnnyhitch1]

New brewer here from Kings Park. Just bottled my 3rd brew since x-mas - an IPA extract purchased from Brewtopia in Port Jeff. I'm going to probably stick to extract for a while - to work out the kinks in the process. I plan on attending the LIBME and Brewtopia events early next month so hopefully I'll see some of you there. It is nice to see there are so many folks close to home... can't wait to get more involved with the LI brewing community.

Welcome to the hobby! See you at Brewtopia. Mark has a great deal on bulk LME that can make it pretty economical to stick with extract brewing as long as you want.

 

[yak80yak]

does he sell sacks of grain

Glad to see so many Long Island brewers. I'm from mastic beach, been brewing for about three years and have been wanting to join a local club but can't ever make it to the meetings because of either school or work. Hope to make it out eventually.

 

[eric19312]

Are anyone of you guys in any local brew clubs
Nice to see saison being brewed, I happened to be reading
Farmhouse ales, nice read

Not a formal club but we've been tasting homebrew and swap recipes at Brewtopia in Port Jeff on first Tuesdays at 7pm. The shop sells a wicked line of craft beer and the owner can be counted on to open something research worth during the event...

Eric, I'm also from kings park. Try to make the LIBME meeting next month

 

[eric19312]

Sounds fun, will try but Mineola is pretty far for me.

 

[BLACKBEARDNY]

west Babylon here

 

[Soccerboy016]

Justa wanted to introduce myself, I'm from Bethpage...just starting my first brew tomorrow Brewers Best Witbier. I've been to Arbor and i need to check out Brewtopia. Are their any other stores that specialize on LI or Queens?

 

[eric19312]

Karp's Homebrew and Hardware in Newport is a good store too. Good selection of ingredients and well set up with the hardware side of the store to help you build all grain equipment.

 

[yak80yak]

Karps is in northport. auto correct sucks. Larkfield road just south of the railroad. Alan is a font of knowledge and home brewing is one of many passions for him.
support your lhbs!!

 

[KTMurphy]

Karp's is a great place... I just really, really hate Larkfield road. I can feel myself tensing up just thinking about driving to Karp's.

 

[yak80yak]

head up to pulaski & take that to larkfield. Karps is only 2 blocks north

 

[ilikeguns]

i hear that! The addition of a dozen or so red light cameras on that road makes things worse.

The May LIBME meeting is tomorrow night at Jackson's Restaurant on Jericho Turnpike in Commack!

Also AHA cancelled all club only competitions

Which really bums me out.

I have a Whiskey Barrel Stout I was really excited about entering into tonight's extract competition.

 

[LastChair]

Rockville Centre brewer here.

 

[bigmike99]

Brewing my first batch using liquid yeast. Harriet's West Side IPA with a Belgian yeast. Something a little different here. Enjoy your weekend folks.

 

[sch21c]

Bellmore brewer here. Been brewing a little over a year.

Let me reiterate the value of LIBME. The meetings are always great and usually informative. I've also done a few events (participated in an all grain clinic, and just recently did a "social brew day" in Wantagh). Also +1 for Karps. Great place. I wish someone would open a lbhs in southern nassau though.

 

[Bisco_Ben]

Hey sch21c, check out kedco in farmingdale if you havent already. That may be closer to you, and they have a very decent selection. Plus the guy Dave is the man.
