Fab Kildare Brewday planned again

[brenmurph]

Been and gone, another successful day. Paul and Michelle were sittin beside each other on de green bus and didnt know ill I picked dem up at the bus stop....funny dat!
Lovely group of lads and lassies atteended and all went on plan. Got to share the Kurzer Altbier specially brought in from Dusseldorf and a load of other beers, Blueshed brough a collection of homebrews and a great Pie for the dinner table, tanx a mill,  all others seemed to have a ball.

Food by Kellie.....Pea Omlette, stir fried Turkey, Rice with cashews and Turmeric, spicy marinated Chickpeas, beetroot and feta salad, Michelle's salad, Johns Pie, and a few other bits and snacks...( are yis droolin?)

First time ever SG was as predicted by Beersmith, bang 1049 for dis Altbier, despite a slower  dan usual boiler ( turned out element needed descaling and I never noticed) all wen gud wit de brew, nice and clear wort, tastes great (saaz perle munich and pilsner + crystal).

Michelle pitched the magical ingredient (yeast) on top of de wort just on time to head for de green bus back to the big smoke.

Eugene picked up a load of usefull advice, John seems more motivated to go all-grain, and paul just enjoyed de few beers and banter. Justin, Mick, Phil, Sam, Gonky, Anna, Monica, Owen, Sandra & lynn  dropped in for a while to share in de atmosphere.

Mucho Gracious for all de little gifts, beers cakes, salads from de guests and Lynn who dropped in a dozen 10 litre fermenters and lids from de local chippy where she works.

Best one ever tanks to all 4 makin a great day
Till the next one
