Howdy Folks,

Great to find some where to gain some knowledge from experienced brewers. Last Xmas I got a great gift of a coopers start up brewing kit, firstly I tried the kit brew of canadian blonde and it was horrible, After that I went straight in to extract and successfully have made 2 batches of a Pale Ale, went down well amongst friends.

Gonna purchase a mash tun in the coming weeks and wanted some guidance/help on All Grain Brewing so here I am.

Will be back soon with questions and all help greatly appreciated

Welcome Gugs!
There's a few other Kerry lads on here. Post your whereabouts, you never know how close someone might be.

Cheers Johnrm,

Do ye run nights in Cork for meet ups and discussions?

[johnrm]

Well, thats the plan, but unfortunately Cork is huge, so we're well dispersed.
We're all family men to boot, so busy busy!

I was at the Franciscan Well in Cork one night a while ago and there was a group of home brewers had a meeting there, think the club is called the Lee Valley brewing club or something similar. Not sure if they are a separate organization.

There is a discussion on the Cork (Rebel Brewers) forum about meeting dates looks like the next one won't be until october http://www.nationalhomebrewclub.com/forum/index.php/topic,3629.15.html
