Ageing: bretted 1890 export stout.
To brew:  2015 RIS, Kellerbier, Altbier.

Any interest in this starting up again? Maybe instead of picking a particular style you can bring a homebrew sample & we can taste & write score sheets for it. Discuss the good & bad points of each beer & feedback on how to brew it better.

Midweek night every three weeks maybe? 7.30pm - 10pm.  If there is interest Il organise another venue as Cottage bar is closed now.

Yep I'd be interested in restarting it. What you're describing sounds like some kind of organised homebrew meeting! Combine them?

St. Fursey

Definitely interested.  Combining with homebrew tasting could work. Would it be too much work to brew for the style being tasted?

Kevco5

It appears I'll be off tuesday nights for the near future, so if that suits I'll be well up for it! Won't be brewing for it specifically though!

Hop Bomb

It'd take some forward planning to brew specifically for it but would be good to bust people out of their IPA rut & brew lots of different styles.

Lets say May meet for the first one of these planned brewed tastings? Plus we could taste other styles people bring also obviously.

Someone pick a style there thats easy turnover by mid may.

I have a Saison on which should be ready by May and a... (ahem) IPA :P just bottled.
My next possible brew day would be mid April at the earliest. I was sort of planning a English pale, I might change away from that again.

On a related note... What we doing with the lambic!? Can we check in on it sometime?

Kevco5

If we're going for mid May should we not be thinking of the Summer session comp?
I know it's anti-bjcp but it's always an interesting one!

Sure it's only in the barrel a year or so!
What we refill it with?

I just saw this recent post.

I'll try to brew something this week and have it bottled for then.
