Brewday!

[DEMPSEY]

Looks like a good day there and the brewery looks great so looking at the pictures I was wondering ,who broke the handle on the mug

[sub82]

It was like that when I got there your honour!

Lovely piccies there lads, well done.

Sub82 & Bazza - how are the brews coming along?

[sub82]

Not so bad haven't looked in a while but planning on bottling tomorrow or Sunday so will get some bottles down as soon as they're ready!

[Bazza]

Ditto. Had a wee look this morning and it smells class.

Andy, can YOU remember if we added the Irish Moss or not? Chris and me are at a loss.  Blaming the fumes from the fermenters.

Hoping to bottle this weekend. Had to call into Nature's Way today for more caps. Did I mention before just how much I hate bottling? Just in case I haven't,  I hate bottling.

Can't recall Irish Moss being mentioned, so don't think so!

However, in my defence - I was too busy sampling Boundary's wares!

What yeast did you use, Barry?

[Bazza]

What yeast did you use, Barry?

A leftover sachet of Gervin GV12. Decent wee yeast, though

Can't recall Irish Moss being mentioned, so don't think so!

Think you're right - bottled this last night and looked very cloudy!! A nice wee unintentional experiment to see what Irish Moss does!

[Bazza]

About to start bottling mine now. Just trying to sum up the willpower. It's tough.

Will keep you posted with results.

Cheers,

- Barry

[Bazza]

Right. Done. 22 bottles preparing for conditioning:



See what you mean about the clarity, Chris:



Could have been bottled straight from the Lagan.

Taste-wise it's okay if nothing remarkable. See how they fare after a few weeks carbing and cold-conditioning.

Oh, btw, in case anyone was in any doubt- I hate bottling.


Cheers,

Never heard how these beers turned out?

Cloudy - yeah. But were they drinkable?

[sub82]

Hasn't turned out too badly.

Has a nice citra flavour and aroma and the flaked rye gives a bit of spiciness. The first one I opened foamed like crazy but the rest have been grand.

Will try and get a photo up - have some set aside for the next meet and for Matthew.

[Bazza]

Ditto. Not bad at all. The Citra have come through well.

Forgot about the Rye, Chris. Yeah, that might account for the tanginess.

All in all, a nice summer drink if a little on the murky side still:



Likewise, have a few for Matthew and for the next meet.
