Who is brewing on Long Island?

[Keepcalm]

Thanks for the info. I have a tank I need filled and was looking yo get another full tank.

 

[JONNYROTTEN]

The difference is a tank is 20#. A new tank is only filled to 15# for whatever reason. If you get a tank filled they fill it to the full 20 pounds or at least they should. So if you do a swap you loose 25% of the propane. I always get mine filled.

Its a bit of a scam not everyone knows about unless they read the tank label

Last summer there was a place filling tanks for around $13 with a groupon, I go to a supplier in eastern Suffolk that does better than that with a penny saver coupon. (Ideal off Horseblock Rd) That would be a haul from Deerpark though.

Is that the little nursery on Horseblock between north ocean and 112? That's where I go. I live not far from there

 

[JONNYROTTEN]

I just saw its Ideal. I looked it up. In Bellport. That's pretty cheap. I only fill my BBQ tank once a year so the extra couple bucks for convenience is worth it for me. If I was brewing propane I'd take the ride for the savings

 

[JohnSand]

I just had mine filled at BJ's. Members get a good price, not every BJ's supplies it. The one on 347 does, Riverhead does not.

 

[JPBrewLI]

I'm in Riverhead, Been brewing a couple months now.
Almost ready to start my 5gal batches, got corney kegs and last week finally got 2 20lb co2 tanks and regulators after waiting on a seller for 2 months.

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

I just got back online... It's just east of 101 usually not that busy.

 

[VINCENT DITTA]

Brewing in East Patchogue and looking for more knowledge and trade drinks.

 

[JohnSand]

Hi Vincent, welcome!
East Patchogue is good, because Brew and Beyond just moved there. That's a homebrew store that has a meeting/tasting the third Thursday of every month. I try to go often, nice guys and good beer. He's at 674 South Country Rd, the proprietor is Dan. See you there.

 

[VINCENT DITTA]

Nice! Im up for that. Should I bring any provisions? What time does all this go down?

 

[JohnSand]

Usually 7pm, we just bring our brews. I guess that makes it the 17th this month. I hope to meet you.

 

[VINCENT DITTA]

Thanks for the heads up, cheers.

 

[tneary]

Does anybody know of someone locally selling ball lock kegs either 2.5g or 5g ?

 

[JohnSand]

I don't. But when I need them, I search craigslist every day.

 

[VINCENT DITTA]

I get them on ebay for $55 free shipping

 

[JohnSand]

I intend to go to the meeting at Brew and Beyond tonight at 7. 674 South Country Rd East Patchogue. Late notice, I know.

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

Thanks, I can't make it, maybe next one.

 

[JohnSand]

I hope so, it would be nice to meet you in person.
The meeting tonight was great, nice people, very good brews, plenty of laughs.

New brewer here in Suffolk County (Ridge). My son and I began brewing about 7 months ago. We'll brew our 5th & 6th 5-Gal. batch this weekend. We wouldn't mind meeting up with some other local home-brew folks!

Hi Greg, welcome aboard! The Brew and Beyond meetings are fun. I occasionally meet with other brewers elsewhere, and I'm open to other meetings. We could set up an LI/HBT meeting sometime.

Any suggestions on a LHBS to get fresh ingredients on L.I.?

I use to go to Arbor but after they closed i started getting extracts and supplies from kedco since they are right down the street from me.

I started noticing that the malt extracts were a few years expired. Figured eventually I would see fresh extracts but that hasnt been the case. Bought one of their kits and the extract was from 2007.

So needless to say looking for a place that has fresh ingre
