Introductions / Hello from the Lee Valley
Last post by MuddyRiver - April 07, 2024, 09:30:36 AMGreetings everyone. Great to be part of this club. I have been making bread for a few years now and I get a great kick out of waiting around for the dough to rise or feeding the starter for my sourdough everyday (It's like a pet). I love the quality of a product when you have to wait around for the ingredients to do their thing.
I am ready for my next journey in beer making but want to do it properly. I love beer. I love how it looks. I love how it tastes and I love how varied it can be. But I don't love the price!
Would be great to meet a few of you down the line and I look forward to perusing the forum for top tips on equipment, recipes and techniques.
The very best to everyone.

Last post by cgueret - April 06, 2024, 12:35:30 PMHey!
Thanks for the reply :-) I've seen discussed the matter with a few more people on the Discord channel of the Homebrew Club and also with some friends. Recently GEB released that video tour https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2AKMppiP72g which is pretty close to what I have in mind: small scale at home as a side job, local distribution, etc (indeed, no bottling system in his garage). I'll have a look at the place you point me to...

Underdog
Date:
Thurs 25th April 2024
Start time:
7.00pm
All new members welcome
If you have some brews for tasting, bring along ~1 Litre of each.
To show some thanks to our hosts for allowing us to drink home-brewed beers in their pub, it is customary to buy some drinks from the house.
This is the last meet before the Nationals, the closing date for dropping Nationals entries is May 8th, so if you want feedback on possible entry category for your beer, or other general pre-competition feedback please come along and let us know before the meet if you are seeking such feedback, we will get those beers around first.

Last post by johnrm - April 05, 2024, 07:45:22 AMHey Christophe,
You say commercial.
In order to do this there are some legislative hoops to jump through.
Revenue, licencing, health and safety are the obvious ones, there may be more.
You will need an outlet for your wares, so if you own a pub or are well in with an owner you could do this. Bottling is not really practical for very small scale.
If you want to see a small scale model on action, have a look at The Roadside Tavern in Lisdoonvarna, Clare.
The owner there, Peter Curtin, retired now, was very creative commercially as can be seen with his other venture, Burren Smokehouse.

Chit Chat / Re: Corny Key Openings
Last post by johnrm - April 05, 2024, 07:30:03 AMThere can be some variance in lid and ope sizes and some effort required to close.
There are a number of manufacturers, some are better than others.
If you find that a seal is not quite sealing, put it in place as best you can, invert your keg and bounce the keg handles off the ground.
The weight of the beer should seal the lid.
