This is a call-out to all those folks that read the NHC forums but haven't posted here yet.
Just a quick word to let you know that we love you  <3
Who are you? What do you brew? What's your favorite colour?

You beat me to it Eoin.
I bumped into a self-confessed lurker (Hydroponic Kevin) in the Well on Saturday.

So how come peeps aren't diving in?
The Dog ate your keyboard?
Too much like politics.ie?
(I don't care what your fave colour is)

every forum is like that though, there's always far more readers than posters.

I also met Kevin, and gave him a hop plant, so reckon it will be in good hands! Met a good few other brewers, who may be on the forum, but probably don't post much, so nothing like a real life event for meeting new people. Hopefully we sill see some of them at some of the upcoming meets.

Nope, the other Kevin, the lad with Glasses and Baseball hat.

This Kevin did have glasses and baseball hat, and is based in Clonakilty I think, or in that direction anyway. Did I give another Kevin a hop plant as well so?

I saw a Kevin (I think, lad in a Black bomber jacket) running off with it.
Maybe they are associates.

I brought 4 or 5 plants, so could have been one of the other recipients.
