Title: Hello from Drogheda
Post by: helmet on June 06, 2014, 06:14:32 PM
Well, I've been doing bog standard kit brews for the last few years, but branchhed out into extract recently. I have 2 extract brews under the belt and am hoping to move to all grain soon.
Are there many on here from around Louth? There doesn't seem to be a group for the area.

Hello. I'm based in Ardee. I nearly have my all grain kit assembled. Cue laughter from my wife.

Great stuff, that's 2 of us then! When are we opening our brewery? I hear the Harp plant in Dundalk is up for grabs.

@partridge thanks for the offer, the next few weeks are mental for me, but hoping to make it to a meetup over the summer.

@dmcdermo where abouts are you in Drogheda?

I am from just outside Dundalk myself, in Cooley.
I am brewing all grain BIAB.
Seems to be a couple of brewers from Louth now.
