Welcome aboard. Tried the Brass Works Brewing yet?Hey all! Brewer for 9 years over here north of Waterbury with a 30 gallon brew capacity! Just got on this forum awhile back! Great to meet others in the local area!
Yessir! Good place and they have steamed cheesburgers there too some days! Have you tried Lasting Brass Brewing?Welcome aboard. Tried the Brass Works Brewing yet?
Never heard of Halftime...Thanks!I'm in Stamford and usually go to Maltose or Halftime in Mamaroneck. It's about half the distance to Maltose and they're open on Sundays in case you can't make it to Maltose during the week or on a Saturday. Let me know if you want the guy's name/contact info who orders all of the homebrew equipment and ingredients, he's very accommodating.
Im over in Oakville area, Southington isnt too far from me!Hey all, I've been brewing on and off for about 2 years now. I'm starting to get back into the hobby after moving back to CT from FL, I live in Southington now and I'm hoping to get to know some local home brewers and maybe do some beer swaps. Also If anyone has some extra rhizomes I'd be interested. My chinook did not survive the winter. Thanks!
Hello CT crew, I am very new to brewing and I wouldn't mind finding some local brewers who are about to start a new batch so I can watch and learn... I'm located in the S.Windsor area, i'm looking forward to meeting local brewers.
Welcome! I am in South Windsor as well. I haven't been brewing much lately due to a new infant in the house but I'll try to keep you in mind the next time I plan a brew day...I tent to brew at odd hours, either very early or late at night, to work around the kids schedules. If nothing else I'm always up for beer swaps.
Hey guys - Naugatuck/Southbury brewer here. Wondering if anyone has an ball lock kegs you're looking to sell?
I know, I FB him like 5x, and he wasn't sure how many were accounted for, asked me to keep checking in and then never responded...Cross Culture Kombucha in Danbury was selling a bunch of them. I picked one up for $45...not sure what they have left. I posted a link to their facebook market page a few weeks ago:

You're Brew Haven Admin, right?
Well, he messaged me back the same day saying he wasn't sure how many he had left. Told me to check in again over the weekend, which I did. Still wasn't sure, said check back in, and then nothing since. Probably sold them all, but a definitive answer would have been cool. Or at least take them down off the marketplace...That's strange...when I messaged him he wrote back almost immediately.
No, I'm not a brew haven admin...too lazy to join any homebrew clubs!

New Park is very good too. Problem is they are small, and in a very populated area, so it can sometimes be a pain in the butt to get served. And they sell out of can releases almost immediately. Best beer around is Lasting Brass in Oakville.a
alvarium is the tits , ive heard new park in west hartford is good
What’s up everyone. Looking to do a beer swap. Let me know if anyone’s interested.
I got a chocolate imperial stout on nitro. Mmmm so good.I'm in Naugatuck. I have a Russian Imperial kegged.

I know many alcoholic friends, and would love to start or join a brew club. Wife and I throw a nice BBQ around the 4th of July, we joke the popular beers ciders wine have more sweat (condensation) on the faucets.Holy keezer Batman. I have trouble drinking the 4 taps I have. Cheers
Haha nice brew on and again sweet keezerI know many alcoholic friends, and would love to start or join a brew club. Wife and I throw a nice BBQ around the 4th of July, we joke the popular beers ciders wine have more sweat (condensation) on the faucets.
If 3 gallon kegs were significantly cheaper than 5 gallons I'd do that, but they are equally priced in my travels.
At any time I got 6-8 taps open. Plenty of man nights and weekend get togethers help keep them moving.
I dont drink alone thats for sure!
When I did out the spacing for the 5-gallon Coca-Cola kegs which tend to be fatter than the Italy made ones, 12 on the bottom and 2 kegs on the compressor shelf. The remaining 2 taps I was planning on getting 1.75 gallon kegs for experimental small batch brews. Obviously there would be Taps as well for Gatorade water soda things of that nature. The collar is a 2 x 10 in which gives me just enough space to put a short keg like the 1.75 ones.16 faucets... can you fit 16 kegs in that thing? I have 4 taps and it can just barely fit 5 kegs.
I moved from CT a couple of years ago, and miss going to Maltose not too far from where you’re at.Hey guys I have been out of the home-brewing scene for almost the last two years due to two small children and life just being too hectic. I have recently gotten the itch again and I'm now ready to go all in on home-brewing again. Wrapped up my first brew day in a while yesterday with a roasted coconut porter I love to make. Would love to meet up with anyone in the area. I live in Ridgefield (3 years), actually around the corner from Nod Hill.
