Brewday Capital Brewers

[IsMise]

First Brewday - Gotta say it was a great day..big THANK YOU to Capital Brewers for organising this event, Padraic, Declan, James, etc., great to put faces to the names, but even better to see the different styles of brewing first-hand, Declan with the kit, James with the extract, and Rossa with the AG, thank you lads. Seeing the process and methods explained, top class! Tasting the beers that were brought along was another bonus, delish... (could convert non-beleivers to AG) but the sharing of knowledge (and lack of), experiences, and connections, developing the networks.. all made for a fantastic day. Thanks due to TOG also for their premises...
Hope the Liffey brewers and other groups can match this!

Is Mise,

Thanks for today gents. It was great to see a demo of the extract and all grain, takes some of the mystery out of it. Now to buy a boiler!

Big thanks to the organisers, I really enjoyed the day and was sorry I had to leave a little early.

Plenty more demos and brew days in the future hopefully.

Hi Shane,

Special mention to Thomas for sorting my hot water out, to out for helping me get stuff cleaned and moved, to James for the star san and hop bag and star san and last but not least to Brian for the lift with the fermenter to my car.

Had a great day, tasted some embarrassingly good beers (relative to my own efforts) ands made another few contacts.

Declan

I second all the above. Great day out for Capital Brewers, TOG, the NHC, and homebrew!

Well done to everyone involved, and well done to the lads that weren't technically involved but lent a hand when needed.

Sounds like it was a great day - I intended to go and knew i was going to be late but it just got later and later and the day had passed me by.
I was mostly looking forward to the pints afterwards

Cheers for the pictures Will, they look great.

I'm disappointed with how the Capital Brewers roadsign tshirts didn't come through very well in the pictures!

It's the light blue and white that sort of blend in together unfortunately! (In real life the tshirts look great!)

I'm amazed no-one has updated the front page of the club yet!

I'm not really sure who wants to do it? Do you want to do something Will?

I'm all for a volunteer who was there on the day penning a few words! If no one volunteers I could throw something up this evening!
