Just wandered in...

Hiya, just thought I would finally check this place out.  I have been home brewing for over 1.5 years now and am constantly experimenting with my brews. I brew small batch (1 gallon) as I am limited on space, but find I can be quite creative with them. I judged one NHC competition earlier this year which peaked my interest in perhaps entering my beers in competitions, so considering nationals now.

Anyhow, that's pretty much it

cheers so...

I am in Donnybrook, but not sure whether the Capital or South Dublin will end up working best for me.

Yes I do have a blog or vlog rather. I do beer reviews, interviews, random other crap, sometimes whiskey reviews - at http://www.5minfinney.com/ (all on youtube).

Welcome, 5MinFinney

Ah yes now I know you, you got upset when I told you I was going to unfollow you on Twitter because of that untapped spam thing .
In any case you are very welcome, I do like your reviews, you are fortunate as there is a great group that meet in the Darkhorse and know their stuff, meads especially
Are your batches extract or all grain?
In any case to me a really true beer reviewer will appreciate whats involved in the process of brewing and probably why so many from our group up to 25 last time I counted have gone on to be amazing pro brewers so don't be afraid to ask loads of questions as we all learn off each other.

No I just challenged you    Also just be aware my untappd does not link to my twitter anymore...

I do not do much in the way of mead, I am more worried about meeting times and what club will fit in with my schedule. I think the south Dub crew meets last Thursday of every month which I cannot do.

I have always done all grain, that is what I learned. My plan at some point is to own my own brewery if I can afford it. I love brewing. I will definitely chat it up and ask questions when necessary!

[Leann ull]

Cool, will give you a follow again so and for anybody else account is @irishfinney

On the club front there are a few on here that tend to gypsy it a bit, myself included, depending on where they are and its always great getting feedback on what we brew.
Im sure you will get to your brewery at some point in the meantime have fun

Well if you want flexibilty, consistency, and the best beers in Dubland, look no further than the North County Brewers.

We meet every 2nd Tuesday in Swords and every 4th* Tuesday in Malahide

* Exception: As its Christmas the December Malahide meet is the 5th Tuesday of Dec. (i.e. 29th)
