October Belfast Meet - Brew day at the Hudson

[sub82]

Unfortunately can't make this as we've a birthday on the north coast but have plenty of pale malt if needed.

[Bazza]

Okay. Polls have closed, votes counted, 19th October it is!

@Chris - Pity you can't make it. Thanks for the offer of Pale, but we should be sorted.
@Matthew - Hope you can make it down for a while. W/spoons festival? Sounds tempting...

So before I alert the Hudson, any more movement on the head count?


Cheers,

Guys the 19th suits me, but are we postponing again as October doesn't suit anyone ?

Hi Matt,

We're still seeing what date suits the most folk. As long as we get a handful of people who can bring the necessary equipment and ingredients between them, then it's still a go-er. Looks like the 19th of October is the most popular date so far.

@Razzer - Sorry I missed your intro too. Welcome to the forum. Like Chris (Sub82) says, all comers are welcome to the brewdays and meetings. No pre-requisites apart from a liking for craft beer.

@Andy - How're you fixed for October? Does the same plan as last Saturday's postponed brew day suit you still?


Cheers,

Nice one Andy. Yeah; I reckon we keep the same plan. You still okay to bring an FV with you too?

guys - hope to call in for a while, to introduce myself but very much depends on the day. Boomtown Rats on the Friday, and maybe curry and a few? beers before and after - who knows. Football, swimming with the kids and whatever's left of my hangover on Saturday morning. I have some fuggles, styrian goldings and a wee bit of black malt that I'm happy to donate - which kind of fits with the brew plan. Let me know if you need it. Andy.

[BrewBilly]

Yea, I ill also bring an FV. Looking forward to it

[Roo]

The only equipment I have is that I am a willing student. If Saturday us still on what sort of time do you begin?

[Bazza]

No worries, Razzer. That's all you'll need.

Hoping to kick things off between 12 and 1. I would ideally like the mash in before 1. Might just do a 60 minute mash instead of the normal 90, for speed.

Does anyone have a decent thermometer they could bring? I broke my good glass one last week, so am reduced to this cheapo digital one that takes about half an hour to tell you what you'd already guessed long ago.

Still waiting for final confirmation from the Hudson, but shouldn't be a problem. Only worry now is the weather. Looking a little unsettled for Saturday so far.

So, who're the definites again for Saturday?

So far I've:

Definites: Barry, Andy, Razzer
Hoping to call in: Matthew, Quiet man, Stab, Matt.

Any others?


Cheers,

I should hopefully make it down

[kaipee]

W00T!   

I'll be there for sure.
I'm just getting ready to move to AG so don't really have any equipment (or much knowledge lol) to bring. I have the usual basic stuff (FV, FV/barell with tap, bits n bobs if anything is useful).

I missed the first few so will defo be at this one!

[Bazza]

Nice one Chris and fubofo!

On a side note, would anyone be able to bring a solution of non-rinse sanitiser with them? Just enough to swirl round the inside of the FVs?
A spray might be nice too.

Cheers,

-Barry

I got some Vanodine V18 that I use, can bring it with me.
Do you just want me to bring the undiluted bottle so you can mix both non-rinse and rinse?

Do they allow us to use their water?

Hi Fubofo, that'd be great. Even some pre-mixed non-rinse would do the job.

Do they allow us to use their water?

I certainly hope so; I'm taking a hose reel down for the wort cooler.

Sounds like it's gonna be a good one! Pity we can't make it
