New guy here, the name's Kevin. I have already talked to some of you through PM, and have been lurking around the boards as a guest for a while, and this is a really cool group of people. I am looking forward at meeting you at the next club meeting, or around Hollingshead's or something (I have probably seen some of you there already).
Well I have been brewing with a buddy of mine for a couple months now, got a few batches under my belt. My latest was a Black IPA (somewhat based on the Stone XI Anniversary recipe) that we brewed a couple days ago.
My username on beeradvocate.com and homebrewtalk.com is findthefish, so say hi if you are on there too

Welcome... When I moved back to CA from GA last year, I ended up finding this club as my first homebrew club. I had previously learned everything I knew from beeradvocate.
So far I've picked up a lot more information, and met a lot of good people. Make sure you find your way to the SCHF this May!
The only thing I can say is that this place might cost you some money, as there always seems to be fellow members here selling things I desperately need (BTW Tim, the counterflow chiller worked great on Sunday!)...

Yeah, I used debittered Carafa Special III. Also some Crystal 60L, but it was the carafa that made it black of course.Brew Captain wrote:Welcome Kevin!
What did you add to get the "blackness" in your IPA? Dehusked Carafa or a more traditional malt(s)?
Cheers!
It was an extract recipe, but if you want it I can pass it along. After the first sample it was pretty tasty. We overshot the OG like crazy. Little bit too much DME, but that's OK, should be over 10% now.
Hey Kevin, Welcome!
I hope you'll attend our meeting next month and meet up with some of us.
I guess Orange is the mecca of brewers in Orange County!

Everybody has the right to be stupid. Some people abuse the privilege.
I hope life isn’t a big joke, because I don’t get it.
What I don't Know Far out weighs what I do.
