Title: Hows tricks?
Post by: CB_Phil on January 29, 2013, 07:05:05 PM
Just joined after the forum being recommended by a few people

Main thing that takes up my spare time is my motorbikes, both riding & fabricating & having a few beers while I do it (not the riding part, LOL) so......
I've been thinking about getting into home brewing for a while, I went to a starter class set up by the Brewclub, found it pretty good & has pointed me in some sort of direction.
Unfortunately I'm back out to work in a few weeks & wont have time to get started yet!
But expect some newbie questions when I get back in 4 months or so, sorry

Look forward to getting involved & living in Lucan, hopefully making a few beer nights  :)

Hover around Phil it's amazing the amount of shite we talk here no different to the bikes I guess.
Always happy to walk new brewers through the process, Lord Eoin did a great write up on kits, got a few things wrong about dry-hopping :o, but it's a real solid reference
Deadman lost his virginity here over about 100 posts one night, and rasher sandwiches cooked by Tube.
