Post by petehoar » Sun Jan 11, 2015 7:53 pm

Hi all sorry to be a pain I am new to all grain on my third brew and im doing my best but seam to be going wrong here and there with my mash and then kegging, can anyone tell me are there any clubs in Cornwall for brewing or courses or help in around the area to help new comers.?. Anything would be great even to watch a more experienced brewer would be good and id even supply the ingredients I just want to learn the right way.

We were only discussing this the other day.

See here: viewtopic.php?f=1&t=69707

There are no clubs but we were thinking of starting one.

Homebrewing in Cornwall seems to have grown massively lately. Perhaps everyone got brewing related stuff for christmas? We've gone from 3 to about 6 haha

Would be nice to have some all grainers closer to Okehampton!

That's a brave way away mate. You're always welcome to come down but understand its a bit of a trek.

Add to that Newquay.

I think I saw there is a beer tasting night in the beer shop in Truro Fri 30th of this month. Unfortunately I'm working until 9 so looks like I won't be able to make it.

We're growing all of a sudden :)

There is yeah. I've not been to a beer tasting there yet but I think it's important to support the beer cellar to keep it open.



Perhaps we'll do a meet up in Truro to keep it a bit more central for everyone?

I'm down that weekend and might well be able to make it to Truro for a meet if there's a going to be a gathering (and if I can get Mrs. F to drive)...
Tea is for mugs...
