And Garry's making us a pavlova!

johnrm

There are 24 vials. Allowing 7 mins each, 5 mins plus 2 mins changeover, that's almost 3hrs.
We may not need 5 mins with some, but the time will balance out on discussion.
How does a 7pm start sound?

dcalnan

7pm is fine with me, would the pavlova fall under acetic acid for the tasting depending on whether its made with vinegar or not?

johnrm

Don't forget Kegs/Buckets for the Barrel beer!

I'll be there on Friday. Sorry, no brews to contribute. I need to step it up!

LordEoin

how much do we owe towards the sensory training and cheap wrecking beer?

Garry

Yeah John, is this a cash on the day job or paypal?

I've booked the main function room! Anyone who needs directions, send me a PM. Dress warm too lads, forecast is 4°  ???

20 a head will cover it.
I got a letter from a debt collection crowd during the week for the duty. Bastids.
Cash on the day is grand. PayPal if it suits, PM for details.
[Edit:Just did my sums, 20 will do.]

How many off flavours is there?

Maybe I'm misunderstanding this but if we're doing 24 different off flavours in one go it's going to be very hard to remember any of them.

Is it the flavours on this list?

johnrm

That's pretty much the one.
The kit I have has 24.
1 or 2 differ.
We could split it over 2 sessions if that's what the people want...

johnrm

We may well split this into 2 sessions.
We will see how we go on the night, I don't want to rush anyone.
If a second night is required I am incloned to do it sooner than later, we will agree this on the night.

First task on the night is to empty the barrel, then down to the tasting.
We will have 2 syphons, so emptying should not take very long.
Make sure you bring buckets/Kegs!

For the tasting, please bring a notebook/paper and pens.
The order will be random and the off-flavours will not be announced.
Once everyone is happy that they have it or not - We announce and discuss.

LordEoin

why wouldn't we announce the off flavor?
This is starting to sound like a quiz

johnrm

Because some people will prefer it that way. We can announce after 1 min, that way everyone is happy.
