Just wondering if there is anybody on the forum from Louth. Im based in Dundalk. Just thinking it might be handy to know some homebrewers in the area. Could be good for group buy participation / distribution, help on brew days, swap hops / malts / experience, that kind of stuff.

Hi,

I am from Cooley, so only out the road.

I also have a mate who does a bit of brewing.

Would be handy knowing another couple of brewers in the area

3 seems a good enough place to start. I know 2 others in Drogheda, have been trying to encourage them on to the forum but maybe a club in the area would be more encouragement.

Is there a procedure for setting up a club.

When you set up a club you can have it listed here so members can link quickly to it for club things :)

Well then I propose the set up of Wee County Brewers. Once we get a few members interested we can look at more permanent names and decide what were about.

Congrats. Just hope some of our north county brewers from up that neck of the woods don't decide to jump ship with our barrel of barley wine   ;)

Thanks but I'm sure your members are loyal. It would still be good to know who is in the area. Anybody have any experience of setting up a club. Any tips

@B4B, get them on here with a few posts first, then a Board can be added.

Hi Cronan, only getting a chance to respond properly now that im home from work and the child is gone to bed. Im just south side of the town, out past the college. Cooley's a nice area. I go walking up Carlingford direction a bit.  What kind of brewing you in too.

I am into all grain biab method. Not brewing too long just started in March last year with kits.

What about yourself what kind of brewing?

Brew_for_Buttons

Only starting all grain, going to get my first all grain brew on at the weekend. A friend and i have just finished building our set up based on a braumeister Its been frustrating as hell but very enjoyable. Been doing allot of reading. Have been doing kits and hedgerow brews up until now, started in college when funds were tight and never looked back.
