Hello from Wales

[Grizzly299]

Hello, my name is Tim and I'm 27.

I used to be an electrician and I'm moving on to electrical design engineering and most importantly I've got the brewing bug.

I'm mainly into beer, but I'm not averse to the odd batch of hedgerow wine.

I've got three all grain brews under my belt on my system(See http://www.thehomebrewforum.co.uk/showthread.php?p=603380#post603380 ).

I kind of dove in at the deep end and started designing my recipes with pen and paper, just to give me a deeper appreciation for the process.

So my first three brews are all of my own making.

Here's what I've done so far;

01/11/2015 - PP Kalifornien(PPK) - California Common (Consumed and enjoyed)

19/07/2016 - Stop Wittering On - Belgian Wit(Still in Primary)

23/07/2016 - Hasselhops Porter - Robust Porter(Still in Primary)


(There is some logic to the names, honestly.)

I look forward to participating and getting some feedback for my recipes and maybe even sharing some brews with you all.

A bottle Swap is certainly on the cards. I don't live far from Swansea. Only down the road, just outside Carmarthen.

Whereabouts? I am a Llanelli boy originally but now living north of Lampeter. Will be working in Carmarthen when I start new role in a couple of weeks. Stuff bottle swaps, I am thinking joint brew days lol

I also help out at a local brewery when I have time, have any of you tried the offerings from Caffle Brewery? Chris the head brewer has come up with some lovely ales.

 

[Leon103]

Is that castle brewery? Is it quite new? Not seen any of their beers but seen the name on my Facebook feed

 

[Grizzly299]

No Caffle, they're based around Narberth. Not sure how far the beers get but one of the local pubs goes through two 9gal casks a day during the summer.

I'd recommend the Kift Blonde if you can get your hands on it, lovely nettle beer!

A Joint brew day could be good fun! There's already a guy across the road from me who's just started all grain. We're having a mini beer festival( read as **** up) sometime in August to taste each other's brews etc.

Will check them out. It's castle fm gate brewery that I was thinking of.
