Irish Goat has just come up with a great suggestion:

Rather than post it around the local groups I will repleat here for all to see:

[size=12]"Since I'm only extract I can only really offer cash. Obv can pay for ingredients too if we do a group brew."[/size]

I replied:

Agreeing to split the costs like this is a great way to "Buy into" the cask.

However its really up to the group: If for example 7 AGs were done and 1 good kit or extract of the same style was used who would notice?

As we know from the comp a lot of the kits/Extracts were better than some AGs!

After all even using identical ingredients (Malts, Hops, Yeast) all sourced from one bulk supply, ye would still get slightly different beers.

More likely: Same recipe but "interpreted" as to whats in the stores at home - even if all same they will be different ages so again different beers.

Some goups were even thinking about blending a couple of different recipes??

As I said its up to you.

Also if the non-brewers (who help pay for the ingredients) want to help out on the brew days then "way to go"

So even if you can't manage to brew yourself you could still "buy into" a group brew.

Does this help to re-kindle some interest. Remember these cask may not be available again for another year or so!!

[Greg2013]

as is how long could these casks be stored without putting beer into them?
