Actually just recently moved from Islip (down the street from where Arbor wine used to be) to Seaford. Looks like you guys in Suffolk have all the good clubs out that way though!
Who is brewing on Long Island?

Ah, I still miss Arbor. You have Homebrew and Handgrenades in Nassau - nice people (those who I’ve met) and they are pretty active.

I’m pretty sure they closed a little while before arbor did if I remember correctly. I had been there a few times before I moved out to Islip. They were very helpful for sure! The only homebrew shop I know of is Karps homebrew and hardware in Northport. At least that’s where I’ve been goin when I need a few extra ounces of hops to throw into a IPA ingredient kit.
Yes, the HBH LHBS closed but the club is still going. Another shop in western Suffolk (not far from blackforest) is brewsbrothers at kedco. No liquid yeast, there but enough stock to help out in a pinch. If you ever travel to Patchogue, there is Brew and Beyond in East Patchogue. He carries Imperial and Omega yeast and is well stocked.

I keep swearing to myself one of these days I am going to enter some of my beer(s) into a competition ………. one of these days
You have many local opportunities coming up. Including BEER’s 24th annual brew off in May. Local is nice because there’s no shipping expenses involved.

Good to know I am finally getting caught up around the house, last weekend was my first brew day in 6 weeks it felt so nice to get behind the kettle again even if it was just a wheat beer. I am going to look into it maybe this is the year why not

Hear you! I packed up before Thanksgiving and just had my first brew session of the decade a week and a half ago. I sent a mead and a couple brews to Homebrew Ally in Brooklyn — judging will happen 2/9. One of the drop off locations was Bluepoint, so that was a win.
Once in a while I get some odd feedback like your Grodziskie is too smoky, when 6 other judges have given very good scores, I don’t take it personally it just tells me the judge may not be overly familiar with it or just doesn’t like it, after all, they are human. And sometimes my entries are just meh and I know it, validating is good. I’m still deciding about entering Hudson Valley's comp.

Hey everybody! New to the forum from Long Island here. I currently reside in Kings Park and go to school in the city. I don't do much homebrewing, I mainly stick with cider but maybe one day we can get a group brew going here. Ive been making cider since I was a freshman in college so a solid 7 yeasts. Cheers!
Hi Sacandaga! Kings Park is a cool town, though I don't know if they have a brewery.
I’ve heard the Saint James Brewery‘s new tasting room in St James is likely to really open (their Facebook page has opening soon posts for about 3 months) in about 2 weeks. They’ve done a beautiful job from the pictures I’ve seen.

Kings Park has the Kings Park Brewing Company. They do have a taproom but their beer can be found on tap in town at Legends Pub.
I had some in cans a few weeks ago, it was nice.

Never heard of them but they have a web site and the 2 beers listed sound of interest to me now I am going to have to search them out. How many breweries are we up to now on the Island? Seems like a bunch

These guys are out of the way but the beer is good if your in the Glen Cove area check them out it’s small but the beer is very good I highly recommend the Gold Coast ipa

Here is one of those local competitions. Just $8 per entry (some ask for $10).

Saint James has finally jumped through all the hoops and is opening their new tasting room this Saturday in St James on 25A. It is the same day as the St Patrick’s day parade, so get there early or wait till Sunday. The brewery is still in Holbrook.

Might as well use some of this spare time for brewing.

I am brewing an Oberon clone tomorrow in hopes that the lockdown will be over before the nice weather arrives. I bit the bullet and paid the shipping from bells for there house yeast to make it as close as possible. I made a nice size starter and have extra if anyone wants. From what I understand they use it for all of there non Belgium beers including 2 hearted. Stay safe everyone
How humble is this guy how can u not make this beer after watching this.He posts the recipe on the Bells website

Mike,
Love the video. I brewed an ESB last weekend with WLP002. I plan to do a yeast dump from the conical today. I will swap you some a pint jar of WLP002 for it. Let me know.

Thank you Mike, that is a very generous offer. I hope everyone that has a little spare time during this is getting a little extra brewing time in.
I trust everyone is getting through okay, and if you’re working from home that you can get a little extra time for brewing into your schedule. This is a link to Facebook regarding virtual big brew day May 2. Bluepoint has a sign up for brewers through Facebook. The plan is to sign up and if you want you have an option to get gift of specialty malts and hops and whatever goodies they add. Pick up your supplies at the brewery on Friday. I hop the link is good if not I’ll edit it.

Thanks! I was planning on brewing but had no idea there was a goody bag. This is awesome
Bluepoint has been supportive of the brewing community, even after being sold. So yeah, register and get the goodie bag!
Many if not all our LI local breweries are selling curbside and/or providing delivery so the past few weekends hubby and I pick two to get beer from, but next weekend I think WA Meadworks will get one of my purchases.
