I am located in the Cowboy Capital of the World, Oakdale. Hey neighbor!
Would you be talking about Dano? Dude is bomb. He came to my last brew day and we enjoyed some awesome beer.
I get all my stuff from Barley and Wine, when possible. The guys there are REALLY cool. Last time I went, he had a Pliny clone in the keg and offered me a sample. So awesome. Great place to go and talk about techniques and equipment. I don't agree with everything they promote or say, but it's a great place to get stuff.
I'd come to your brew day if I wasn't brewing the first batch of my Covenantal Coffee Ale, myself. I'll let you know when my next one after this Saturday is, and keep me posted. If I can make it to a brew day of yours, I totally will. Lathrop isn't far at all. I'll hop on the motorcycle and head over. Heck, I'll get in touch with Dano and see if he's down, and maybe we'll both show up bearing beer.

I'm in the Valley, Fresno to be exact. If I can be of help, just shoot me a message. I have too many hops (pellets) at this time. If you want a deal on a variety of hops, PM me.
Nice. I'm in Pleasanton.
I'm down in Porterville. Don't brew with too many people, have a few buds who like to come brew, drink some beers and barbecue though.

Im in Dublin. Do you go to hoptech for your supplies? NOBODY can beat Jade and Robeerto on customer service!
Porterville huh... Do you know the Muirheads? Holmes? I have close family/friends in p.ville. Not a big craft beer following out there, but everytime i visit and bring beer they are willing to drink it!

I am new here, and figured I would post a shout here... I am interested in learning to brew, but have not done a thing about it except, well... drink up to this point.
We are in Salida right now, and are moving to Ripon this summer. The new house has a third car garage which has been okayed as my man cave - podcast studio, cigar lounge, and now a brewing area!
Looking forward to learning from everyone and doing what looks like a lot of reading to catch up.
I posted on a forum hosted by the CVBG and have a registration pending with the Modesto Mashers forum so I can get some good info from locals.
Welcome. Those are good groups. I also am part of a club that meets in Manteca that is just starting. I highly recommend barley and wine in Modesto to get your first kit and do one of their brew classes (which you can get for free or discounted just by asking).
It is a little trickier brewing in the summer in the valley but it can be done. Enjoy!
Livermore here. I'd love to check someone else's brew methods or have another brewer over. Always brewed solo so far.

The folks at Perry's and Livermore Saloon are great. And yes, the best selection!
Nice. I'm in Pleasanton.
