Welcome Neighbour,
We'd love to have you drop in and visit, hopefully you can work on building a parallel group in Moncton.
We've done quite well with the growth of our little club, you may wish to consider signing up as a paid member here to gain access to our group buys, and see how we're doing it.
It's certainly not a requirement by any means, but I KNOW that I've saved at least 5x the $30 annual fee already since April just through savings on bulk grain and hops. Additionally there are other smaller group purchases/combined shipping deals that members do. It's really worth the small investment.
In fact, I'll make you an offer you can't refuse...
Sign up, pay the $20 of remaining dues for the year, participate in one bulk buy, to the tune of $50 or more, and if I can't prove you saved more than $20, I'll personally give you back double what's not been saved out of the $20...how can that be a bad deal!
I'm good for it, Richard says I'm a bastard, but that's just a quaint turn of phrase for how much he really loves me.
Think about it. Of course our 2nd Bulk Grain Purchase is closing right now, so you're probably a bit too late for that, but I'm thinking there's going to be another hops deal within a month or so, and a third grain run for the fall.
Whether or not you sign up as a fully paid guy, or just as a visitor, welcome again.
You'll find a great group of guys here, many of whom brew MINDBLOWING beer, and they're all great at sharing all the knowledge they have.
I've had a great 11 months of membership, learned waaay more than I thought possible and gone from Extract/Wort Kit to (modestly, he says) a not too bad AG brewer, all thanks to Dave, Kyle, Richard and others who share more brewing wisdom than anyone would have thought possible. (I'm also working on becoming the official Brewhouse MacGyver of the club, just for fun.)
