I just wish an all grain brewer lived nearby. My first two batches have gone well, but there are so many little questions that come up during the session.
I feel like I'm brewing on an island around here...
Don't you have a club nearby? The AHA site lists 32 clubs in NY. I realize that it is a big state and I don't know where many of those cities are, but there should be one that is a reasonable distance from you. If not, start one up in your area. I felt the same way that you do for the first 3 years of brewing until I finally got fed up and started a club here earlier this year. I had only met one other homebrewer before this, but it turns out that there are at least 30 in the area based on our membership. I've learned a lot, tasted some eye opening beers that I may not have tried otherwise, and even taught a few people a thing or two. Basically, I'm a much happier and better brewer now that I am a member of a club.
