Homebrew Expo - Saturday 10th May 2014
Location – Franciscan Well, North Mall, Cork
Time – 2 p.m. till 6 p.m.
The 2014 Homebrew Expo orgniased by the Lee Valley Brewing Club in association with the Franciscan Well Brewpub will be held on Saturday 10th May 2014. This is a great opportunity for anyone interested in commencing home-brewing to come along and see how home brews are done, sample homebrewed beers, buy equipment / supplies from the National Homebreew Company of Ireland and discuss brewing with experienced home – brewers.
The day is also an opportunity for homebrewers to meet.
The day will consist of the following;-
- An all grain home brew demonstration
- A basic Kit homebrew demonstration
- Samples of homebrewed beers produced by members of the Lee Valley Brewing Club and other homebrewers to show what can be achieved by homebrewing.
- Full range of homebrew supplies from the National Homebrew Company. Prior to the event if anyone requires any specific equipment contact the Homebrew Company directly.
- Barbecue stall with tasty food prepared with beer as an ingredient.
- Possibly one or two more items to be added closer to the time
It has been suggested in some places that a Homebrew Competition also be held on the day. However after discussing this at a Committee meeting we feel that it is not feasable to do same as well on the day. We feel that primarily it is a day for new and not so new homebrewers to meet as above
All Homebrewers and those interested in making the plunge to same are most welcome on Saturday 10th May.

If it is anything like last year it will be a good day.
One question! Who is the National Homebrew Company of Ireland?
I tried to google them but can't find anything. Is it, perhaps, The Homebrew Company, or some other? :-\
Just a reminder Homebrew Expo Saturday Week 10th May between 2 to 6 p.m. at Franciscan Well.
Great opportunity for new homebrewers or anyone thinking of same - come along to learn more about it.
always a good day.
All welcome.
Parrot - sorry yes Homebrew Company of Ireland - no National!!!!
I wonder would it be possible to get a list of beers that we're gonna have at the expo?
Only three days away from Homebrew Expo.
All systems go.
All Welcome
Great afternoon with some great beers and interesting people!

I love peanut butter but not in beer, Taf how do the lads get it in there, is it an essence or something?
Did anyone try the Hugo Pilsner. It's brewed near me and I know the guys would be delighted with any feedback/reviews. They r just getting up and running and trying to get their beer out there.
Chris told me he used powdered peanut extract in the GBB peanut stout....

On the yank forums they were using pb2 which is peanut butter that has had the oil extracted.

It's called PB2. Seems like he reads HBT too;-)
Oh interesting stuff, I had visions of Reece's being chopped up!
i made a peanut stout recently with roast monkey nuts from lidl.
Took ages to take the shells and skins off, then bash them fine with a rolling pin.
saw it a few years back on a different discussion on pb2
Good event, only tasted a few beers, the pistachio and vanilla was the standout for me.
I was chatting with Shane at the HBC, he's interested in feedback on Polaris. I'm sure we'll hear all about it soon. As I understand it's a German hop to compete with high Alpha American hops.

Yes many people tried the Hugo Pilsner and it went down very well with many favourable comments. One of the brewers of Hugo Pilsner is also a member of the Lee Valley Brewing Club so naturally we are keeping a close eye on their progress and I am sure they will do very well once they fully launch into pubs in their local area .for a start.
Thanks to all who turned up on the day. I people enjoyed it, as Taf said good beer and interesting people not to mention great food too!!!

Looks like something Jason Carroll would brew. His pistachio and vanilla beer at the Bernard Shaw was epic.
Most certainly was!! No extract was used in the Peanut Butter and Raspberry Milk Stout. Happy enough with the results 8)
Unfortunately I had very little time at it this year due to hauling gear to a gig I was playing at, but as always it was enjoyable. Some unreal loking beers, wished I could've tried them all. Had the pomegranate and mint which was lovely and the breakfast beer too - very tasty, really reminded me of strawberry roses chocolates for some reason, always a good thing! :D
