If U can link up with a local homebrew club,U'll probably be able to tag
along and learn and even brew by sharing materials/equipment
NEW YORK
Endicott: Brewers In the Endicott Region
New York City: Malted Barley Appreciation Society
New York City: New York City Homebrewers Guild
Orange County/Washingtonville: NY FOAM (North Yeast Fellowship Of Ale and
Mead)
Poughkeepsie: Hudson Valley Home Brewers
Rochester: Upstate New York Homebrewers Association
Staten Island: Grumpy Old Brewers of Staten Island
Staten Island: Homebrewers of Staten Island
Syracuse: Salt City Brew Club

....i perfected my technique in my early years with an excellent brew shop
and this GREAT newsgroup...I have never personally met any of them but
consider this the most focused,helpful, non-political,non-foul mouthed group
on the 'net
