Hi guys,
A meet is organised for Sat, Nov 7th @ The Wolftrap in Tullamore (venue subject to final confirmation).
We're planning on bringing a few bottles of whatever we have at the moment; which I imagine may be Smithwicks comp heavy. There's also a selection of craft on offer in the pub.
More info is on the Midlands Club Meet event on FB so join there if you want more info!
Cheers
If I ever rack my single hop/single malt pale ale in to a corny, I'll have that. Hope I don't get autolysis.
How long has your smash been sitting?
Long enough for me to forget how long.... I have been an awful lazy fecker recently.
I kegged it yesterday before I headed in to Dublin for the rugby.
No obvious off flavours. Tasted nice enough. Will see what a little keg conditioning does for it.
Will you be force carbing that in the keg?
Are you bringing the whole keg with you on the day? Or just a growler type effort?
Hah, can't be bringing kegs in to pubs ;)
A growler yeah.
Natural carb in the keg, not forced.
If you don't mind me asking...did you have to add a pinch of extra yeast to get some back in suspension after that long in the FV? I just kegged my amber ale. It was in the FV for about 5 weeks (same as you, just too busy to get to it). I'm trying to naturally carbonate, but I think all the yeast will have dropped out of suspension.
No, I just make sure to siphon out a bit of yeast while transferring.
Looks like I'll have both an Irish red and a Citra Ipa for the day . Looking forward to the meet up. Gonna be a good chance to catch up and see what you've all been brewing . C u there
