Hello from Limerick

[bazkennedy]

Hi everyone, my name is Barry and I'm a web developer from Limerick. I've been into craft beer for years and this year my goal was to take the plunge into homebrewing. I recently did a course with Treaty City Brewery and my equipment has arrived so all is set for my first Brew Day on Sunday when I attempt a pale ale. I'm going to set up a blog to document my brewing successes and failures.

Welcome Barry! What sort of equipment setup did you go for?

Hi Barry
Welcome to the forum! There are few other homebrewers based around Limerick and Tipp too. We try to meet up a few times a year so keep an eye out for that.

What kind of a set up have you ordered? The Treaty City course looked interesting, only for the day didn't suit I would have signed up.

Hi Barry welcome to the mad house, post plenty of pics we love stalking brewing equipment
Limerick is on the cusp of something big I can feel it in my waters

Well Barry, welcome to the dark side, let me know how you get on, we'll meet up and sample when brews ready !!

Hi all, thanks for the welcome. Using the starter all grain kit from the Homebrew Company.

First brew day got delayed by a week which unfortunately means my plan of having a few bottles to open on Good Friday has gone out the window. That said I'm looking forward to give it a go on sunday.

Will definitely keep an eye out for meetups
