Next Brewday - 14th April @ TOG

[Shanna]

Hi Paddy bubbles

Only problem with getting a bottle is that it takes a fair few weeks for there to be anything ready to drink

Shanna

I've no problem contributing a few bucks to cover a brew day like this - after all, someone has to pay for the ingredients and asking people to donate ingredients on the day is too unreliable.

Would it be possible for brewday contributors to get a bottle of the finished brew to take home and savour?

Hi guys

Just had a thought do we need bottles?

Apart from my sarcasm let me know some of the more exotic ingredients required for your AG, I have been promising for months, down in HBC Thurs.

Your presence would be appreciated more than your presents! Are you free on the day?

Only allowed i week-end pass in April and its going on red T's

Hi Thomas

Hacked Ipa kit from 2nd December cost approx €26 for kit, hops and spraymalt

Shanna

Can we maybe get an average of the cost of the last brew days?

[beerfly]

I would guess james and rossa's last time would have been in the 12 -14 range each.
maybe a tiny bit more with james using a bit of every grain available and rossa a bit of every salt available

With regards to the costs -

I have no problem donating my ingredients most of which are very cheap (except the DME).

Its a great day !

Can wait for Sunday !

Hi guys

Just had a thought do we need bottles?

Shanna

I have about 60 flip tops boxed up which I can bring down, can get us more regular bottles if we need it.

I'm going to have to miss this again unfortunately. My day off this week is being used to inspect the barrels. Can't wait, but gutted to miss another TOG

[Shanna]

 Guys any decision on a recipe yet?

Shanna

[Garrett Murphy]

I've got wlp 300 that was bottled yesterday. If we use it what would we want brewed?

1.Hopfen-Weisse
2. Hefe
3.Dunkel
4 WeissenBock
5. American wheat

[irish_goat]

I'd not say no to a Dunkel or a hopfen-weisse(but one that is more focused on dry/late hopping rather than being bitter).

[Bubbles]

The Hopfen-Weiss or Dunkel gets my vote too. I only recently found out what out a Hopfen-Weiss actually is! I've never been much enthused by American wheat beers.

I did an extract Weissen myself recently with WLP300 and I'm in two minds whether it actually turned out well or not. There's bags of banana in there and a little spice, but there's a slight off-flavour I'm not happy with. If I bring in a couple of bottles on Sunday, will you fellas diagnose it for me?? (Or is drinking during brewday a complete 'no-no'?!  )

Thomas, slightly off-topic I know - do you ever come across any empty Duvel bottles up there? I'm after a few for a barleywine project I'm planning.
