Tog Brewday Dec

[Shane Phelan]

Yeah hopefully. I can bring one of the fermenter's that I was planning to donate and we can leave the beer to ferment in that over Christmas. I'm thinking the Sierra Nevada clone would be suitable for them due to its broad appeal?

Jules was well up for firing up the BBQ, I think everyone would be up for that too. Bring your own food and cook it whenever you are hungry so then we don't have to be worrying about numbers, only coals. If it rains they have a pretty epic cover which would allow for brewing and eating.

Any news on this? Are we still aiming for the 14th?

[brenmurph]

Ill try get to this one

[beerfly]

any grain/yeast or other stuff needed?

[Shane Phelan]

Who is willing to bring their equipment and brew it? I was looking at Jacobs recipe and it looks like we would need hops and crystal 60. I have 5kg of crushed pale malt to bring.

TT

[beerfly]

the only thing i have that would be portable is my mash tun, i think i have a few 200 or 300g of crystal 60

Talking with Padraic there...could we make it slightly later than normal. 11.30\12.00 kick off?

I can collect gear if needed on Thursday night but I'll be getting a lift in on Saturday so can't bring it home.

Don't mind the later start. Saw that tog have something else on there Calendar for sat but I assume it won't be a conflict. 

[Shane Phelan]

Don't mind the early start either but I will have to leave before a bit before 5.  I will email the calendar dude from TOG to make sure its ok and change the time from 12-5pm instead.

I have some banged up corny's that we could look at and try to get ready for use! It would be good to get these up and ready for use as club corny's? Maybe a bit of corny workshopping on the day! Is anyone able to run through all of the bits?

I've not got my corny's set up so can't show people the ropes!

What is best for cleaning corny's? All sorts of crap on these ones so I'm basically looking for something that will melt everything else but the stainless steel and will leave the keg still food safe! Will Oxy be strong enough to do the trick?

[Ciderhead]

Sulphuric acid drain cleaner will shift it, followed by scrubbing with green pads and a second treatment not a spectator sport tho.
