Karps in East Northport is good. They are on Larkfield Road just north of the train station.
 
There is a shop in East Patchogue... Brew and Beyond. If he does not have it he will order it for you, and his hops are kept in a refrigerator.
 
I plan to check out the Squarehead opening today. If you're there and want to say hello, I'm a white guy, 6'5" tall, 230#, brown hair, gray beard. -John
 
All I can say is: too crowded. I worried that it might be, but we drove over anyway. There was a line to the street just to get beer. I'm glad to see the thriving craft scene on LI, but I'll go back another day. We drove out to Riverhead and visited North Fork instead, where we had great beer. On the way, we stopped for BBQ and met a professional brewer from Captain Lawrence, who was very friendly and supportive.

I made it to Square Head on Sunday about an hour before closing. It was still busy, but not line to the street busy. The two brews I had were good. They were pouring 18 beers! I also picked up a saison aged in whiskey barrel to take home.
 
Not sure if this has been mentioned.
I just had a West Hampton Beach Irish Eyes Cream Stout....IT WAS FRICKIN AWESOME!!!
Not sure if it has made it off the Island yet. Grill in the Ville In Farmingville has it on tap. Its like a tart Chocolate milk shake with no coffee flavor.

If anyone has had it and can point me to a similar flavor recipe I'd like to try it.
 
Whoa, I went to the WHB brewery yesterday and thought that one was overly sweet, good but sweet. Hubby liked it. I should have stuck with the blond.

I dont normally drink dark beers and dont like coffee flavors. The sweetness of this beer hit the spot for me. Its not a slammer but for a nightcap it would fit the bill. I was trying to figure out the tartness. Maybe it was a little underlying raisiny. I was thinking maybe a lot of Special B...What do you think?

I think you are right about the special B the tartness didn't come through for me much. I wonder if they would cold steep the dark grist at the brewery... Seems like that would be a time consuming departure from general practice, but on the HB level it keeps the coffee roasty flavors down. If I recall the stout was 49 IBUs.

This is not exactly a brew centric event, but I thought I'd share it since it is so reasonable. To make it more reasonable tickets purchased by 12/4/18 are $10 off. Good incentive to buy early. The club has craft and imported beer in bottles Bluepoint Toasted and Bud on tap. With an open bar, that might not matter. :)

Okay we are getting down to the wire on this party. There are 2 ways to get tickets-- at the club on Sundays between noon and 5 (if you hear any "might not happen" BS call the 417 number) or just call the 417 number to arrange a pick up. BTW, the bar has a fairly good selection of craft and some imported beer. It will be fun, also raffles for baskets of cheer.
 
Anybody happen to have a water quality report for the Jericho Water District? They only send it out once a year so I'm hoping that somebody on here has it

Try your library. I'm in Oyster Bay and the reference librarian has it on file for our water district.

On the Nassau County Water Authority website they only publish a single report but they do provide the Chief Engineer's name (Robert Swartz) and his contact phone number. He should be able to provide you with what you want. Link Below.

I dont know about everyone else but I have crazy iron in my water. Toilet tank stained red...leaky faucet at someones house near me stained the tub red under the faucet. Always seemed to have a metallic bite to my beers. Last brew I tried Poland Spring and the bite was gone. I'm stickin to using it.
 
I just use RO water and adjust as necessary with salts. Big improvement since I starting doing that, though there is a cost for the water. I do small batches so its not big issue.
 
I think our water overall is pretty good I never had any issues with it in 3 locations
In the last 2 years I've been getting brown water out of nowhere. Has happened probably 3 times a year. I call the Water Dept. They check to see if work is being done in the area. It's always "no" Then they say someone must have opened a hydrant in the area. I'm not buyin that. Its happened in the dead of winter. The next day its back to normal. No idea whats going on but all plumbing in the house is new except the main out to the street.
