Any Homebrewers here

I just moved into the Harrisburg area from York, once we're settled looking to dive into all-grain. Glad to see plenty of fellow brewers in my area.

Hi All. I am a homebrewer with a few years of experience. I prefer darker beers but that can vary with mood. I live north of Carlisle

I've been homebrewing for almost 2 years. I like to do extract +grains because I can knock them out pretty quickly.

However, this year I got myself set up for all-grain, and made my first AG brew. It was a Dunkelweizen and I loved the whole process, and the finished product!

Hello from Skippack, homebrewing for years. Has anyone been to the new-ish hombrew store in Pottstown? I think it's called Weak Knee or something like that.

I am just getting back into brewing. In the past I have brewed 2 meads and they both came out like rocket fuel. Maybe I'll try again in the future. Getting back in, I wanted to do something simple so I brewed a cider (shooting for a strongbow or woodchuck type clone). I used apple juice from Wall Mart (make sure it has no preservatives) and an ale yeast. It fermented dry but it is nice and refreshing and easy to make.

Someone also mentioned the PA Ren fair at Mount Hope. Me and a few of my friends go every year. I am a big fan of the Swashbuckler brewery they have on site there.

Also currently looking for straight side half kegs if anyone has any laying around that they want to sell. (looking to legally obtain one as opposed to paying deposit and keeping the keg)

I live not too far from Williamsport.I am a second year home brewer. So far I have only brewed a few batches,but have made a few wines also. I just ordered kits :
the Innkeepr and Dundalk Irish Heavy Limited from northern Brewer. I have also purchased from Austin home brew Supply and picked up supplies at The Hoppe Shoppe in Milton,PA

What homebrew clubs do you guys from southeast PA belong to? I live just outside of Reading and I'm looking for a decent club to join.

Cheers!

@ZehBaron, check out homebrewtalk.com, it's a great (GREAT) resource by itself, but I've seen several posts on there about brew clubs (and clubs buying massive quantities of malt) in PA.

I grew up in the Lehigh Valley (Slate Belt area), lived in and around Philly for about 6 years and now I'm homebrewing in Seoul...much different experience for sure!
