Lambic Barrel 2016

[imark]

250L plus. Have a couple of top uppers lined up. Always needed. Best thing is to bring full amount on Saturday. We'll have 200L initially and top up a few days later.

Hey Mark, if there's any room left in there I'd be good for 25L?

Your on the stand by list. We've got enough people planned but if we've a drop out etc I'll let you know.

Gar you can have 25L of my 50L I'd you can have it brewed for Saturday

[imark]

Leave that to yourselves to agree.

My only stipulation is that you have a container with me for last year's stuff by this Fri. And secondly, that you brew Saturday morning and deliver to me Saturday afternoon.

[GarLo]

No probs I'll sort out the minutia with Mr stilton.

Less Jumps in the Aga Khan but looking forward to the challenge.
On the plus side I'll be using "cheap rate" for the HLT

[imark]

Barrel is filling up nicely. In there so far:
DamienE
Ch
Rossa
Diarmuid
and of course my contribution 😊
~220L initially and top up next week from Lordstilton should finish it.
Thanks to Damien and Rossa for helping out with the fill. Went nice and smoothly.

Big thanks to Mark for organising and being the landlord.
Was an interesting brew day alright as I never had 14kgs in my MT before




But worked well with throttled Chugger and long mash and I went over target.



Never used one of these before in my brewing either so thanks all round for the learning experience.

Going like the clappers this morning

[imark]

LordStilton arrived with fresh wort to top up this evening. I'm happy to report that the barrel is now full and fermentation is well underway.
Thanks to everyone involved for turning up with the correct volumes on time. It was a fairly painless process this time.

[Leann ull]

A novice question, the purpose of the top up is that to replace liquid from blowoff?

[imark]

No. We needed a top up as it wasn't completely full on Saturday.

What was the cooler used for out of interest?
