Hello all,
I am new to both the group and the area, and have been missing brewers meetups in the new ‘digital’ age.
Do you all have virtual gathers or similar to meet, chat and discuss brewing? I have done some virtual brew days last year where people meet and brew the same recipe while on a video call, and would love to do something like that with this group if possible. When we can finally get together physically, it might be nice to share similar recipes and talk about our setups/tastes/recipes.
Apologies in advance if this is the wrong meduim for this. I would like to talk to other brewers more than I have these last 9 months!
Cheers,
Aaron——————-
On tap: Oatmeal Milk Stout
On deck: Blackberry-Cherry CiderHey Aaron, yes we do!
We met in person outdoors a couple of times over the summer/September, but otherwise we’ve been online each month. The third Wednesday is usually the date. Are you on our email list? A January email should go out in the next ten days.
Our in-person meetings have a loose organization, we start with the lightest beer generally and pass it around and discuss and just repeat until we’ve tasted all of the homebrews brought to the meeting. Recipe, technique, ingredient discussions usually come up pretty organically and everyone is free to really ask any question they might have about a beer (or if you want specific feedback on your own beer, you’re encouraged to bring that up when it’s your turn to share).
It’s a fun group and a good mix between serious brewing and a good time with friends.
The online meetings have touched on homebrewing for sure, but are a little less organized since we’re not drinking the same thing/even necessarily drinking homebrew all of the time.
What kind of beers are you into? What do you like to brew? What has been most challenging for you as a brewer?
That is great! I will keep an eye out for the email and hope to meet you folks sooon.
I have been working on perfecting my NEIPAs during the at-home periods last year, and have had some great results. With winter I have done a few stouts and porters as well, and been making ciders with Kveik yeasts which have been easy and very good.
My new living arrangment allowed me to expand my setup a bit and I always like to make my equipment rather than buy ‘commercial’ setups like Grainfather, which has always proved challenging to cludge together my parts and make it all work. But I feel that I always learn more and have a more catered setup to my desires when I do it that way. With that in mind, I would love to met up and share our setups, challenges and see what other people are doing. I love to see the homebrewers creativity when it comes to both hardware and recipes!
Welcome to the club I can’t wait for this to be over and to try your beer. I hope to see you at this months virtual meeting.
Cheers

Fermenting: We Are The Dreamer of Dreams (NEIPA)Hey Aaron – Looks like Ryan got you pretty well situated on the details so I’ll just say “welcome to the club!”. Hopefully we will be up and running again with in-person meetings, but I suspect that will take some time. Until then, you would be more than welcome to come sit down in my biergartens and sip a cold lager some nice afternoon (socially-distanced of course). Not sure what part of town you live in, but I’m located about 1 mile N.E. of Olde Town as the crow flies. Keep in touch or zip me an email at kupferschmidtbier@gmail.com and we’ll watch the weather forecast and get it set-up. I’d love to talk bier and brewing with you and try to see where we might have mutual interests regarding the craft!
This is great. I am happy to see some activity here. It has been a while since I have been part of a club and happy to join what looks to be an active and enjoyable group.
Looking forward to seeing you all at the meeting and hope we can all taste each others craft soon!
Cheers
