Folks - one of the hot topics from Thursday night's agenda, was arranging a tasting panel for beer off flavours as one of our Belfast Club meets.....

I thought we normally addressed this at each meet, tasting Barry's beers! Ha, ha! - only jesting!

So the idea is to buy-in a sensory kit and arrange a meet, run a tasting panel, etc.....

First-up, we need to see who is interested. So in time-honoured tradition, we need a list.....

You're funnier than piles, Andy.

Yep; well up for this one. Do we have an upper limit on numbers?

"Do we have an upper limit on numbers?"

The kit has a range of taints in capsule form, which you dilute to make 1 Litre of each.

The one we discussed is £80 and covers Diacetyl, Lightstruck, Mercaptan, Metallic, Papery, Phenolic, Sour, Dimethyl Sulphide (DMS), Butyric, H2S.

To keep it manageable as a Club meet, probably 8 - 10 folk who are willing to share the costs.

Any more takers for this?

Or do we reckon 6 is a nice manageable number for now?

Cheers,

6 is probably a good number to run with.
