Hi Folks,
So I'm a pretty keen homebrewer, moving out to Fredericton in the new year. Looking forward to getting involved with the brewing club. Im originally from the UK, but have lived in Ontario for the last 10 years.
While its easy to find a dry hopped lambic brewed with yeast harvested from a hipsters beard here in Ontario, its not that easy to find a proper pint of best bitter! So I mostly brew all grain english style beers, bitters, milds, brown ales, and the occasional old ale and barley wine- trying to recreate classic british cask ale really.
Favourite yeasts- wy 1469, ringwood, and 1318
I enjoy entering into homebrew competitions, but dont take the results too seriously. Do you guys enter many comps?
Ive got a pretty basic 5 gallon rig, ghetto corona grain, cooler mash tun, keggle, old kijji fridge with an stc-1000, pin lock cornies, in another old kijji fridge.
Hows the water in fredericton? Looks ideal for a nice pale ale, maybe a TT landlord clone?
When do you guys run your malt bulk buys? Wondering if I need to stock up on malt in my local clubs fall bulk buy before I head east?
Phil
