Since I’m just a partial masher, I do it all in my kitchen. When my young family is older and I can devote more time to the craft, I will do all grain. I always envisioned doing it on my backyard patio, but this post has me thinking that I should do it in my driveway for all the world to see.

I’ve been personally responsible for getting 6 other locals into the hobby, so I know they are out there.

In my neighborhood I am thought as strange (so my teenage boys say) for brewing beer. No one else homebrews, but they like to sample my creations.

I wonder if more people would perk up to my late night kettle goings on if I WAS frying turkeys? I should try that out some night.

I saw a guy on the bus with a BYO magazine just two weeks ago. It was the issue with the article on brewing gluten free beer…so it wasn’t the most recent issue. Maybe he’s looking to make a beer that won’t cause an allergic reaction?

So I speculate there are at least two homebrewers in Malden, MA.

My neighbor is a homebrewer. Brews a few times a year. Other than that I don’t know of any within walking distance. Of course I live in suburbia where the houses are a bit farther apart.

Within 10 miles there are certainly a few I talk to from time to time.

I brew out on my front porch (cue banjo music). Never once has anyone (who didn’t know me) stop and ask if I were brewing beer. They always ask “are you frying a turkey?” I’ve tried to encourage other homebrewers in my neighborhood, but no one else does it consistently.
