Title: A new one from Limerick
Post by: Marek2200 on October 24, 2014, 05:43:48 PM

Hello there,

I'm new here.  I live in Limerick. Few months ago I started brewing beer at home. I decided to start from full mash brewing. I've brewed five types of beer so far - dry stout, Irish red ale, wittbier, Belgian Strong ale and Belgian pale ale. I'm going to brew next few beers this year: dry stout, oatmeal stout and maybe  I'll try my first bottom fermenting beer (I don't have a fridge for that so I hope winter will be cold ;)

Just want to say hello and ask about good supplier of malt, yeast, hops, equipment etc. Do you recommend any particular or all of them are good?

Marek

Welcome Marek sounds like your off to a flyer. Don't be afraid to ask if you have any questions. I get most of my stuff online but if you get onto BrettDundee in the limerick brewers he sells bags of hops. He is based on Birdhill bit often in limerick. He holds his own little hop picking festival every autumn hopsoverfest which is very popular. He also did a brewing demonstration in the blind pig last month.

I'm a Clare Ex-pat living in Cork and delighted to see rising interest in the mid west!
Great work so far, there's nothing like getting in at the deep end!
