Just joined up recently and the corny group buy tempted me into my first post - so its time to say hi!
From Portlaoise but these days I'm out in Raheny. Mainly an extract brewer - been at it about two years now and I find it very versatile (and relatively hassle free) so it might be a little while yet before I go all-grain!
Now if I can only find my way back to Newlands Cross I think I know the way home from there! :D
Welcome aboard. Don't be shy and muck in. :)
Welcome to the forum! You aren't the only Laois man here btw... ;)
Look's like I'm not the only Phelan here either!! :P
Thanks for the welcome folks!
Two brewers from Laois who share the same name? Gotta be related ;D
Nah there are Phelans everywhere. No NTL in the bog on those long winter nights. ;)
Must be confusing for outsiders reading the local paper and in it the local GAA club results. You could have Phelen saving a penalty being the best defender on the pitch that day playing a long ball to himself and scoring the winning point. Its no wonder Laois are crap at GAA. :P
Yeah, there's more than a few of us alright ;D
Dempsey is a good Laois name too!
