Hey guys,

Working late tomorrow so won't make it sorry.

Is there a beer set for the June meet?

Could do a nice pale for it.

[Weiss]

Got injured last night playing ball, so won't be able to make it tonight. 

Nothing too bad, but it could do with some rest.

[lordstilton]

Gonna have to sit this one out too.. See you at the barrel filling

[brenmurph]

[mcgrath]

[Dodge]

What a great night getting to meet fellow club brewers. Pity about work, next time I hope to sample with you guys

[imark]

Yip. Good beers (and cider) tasted last night. That strong one Dodge brought was f'ing outstanding.
Could have used a bottle of Blueshed cider this morning if I didn't have to go to work.

[brenmurph]

Who needs a barrell...........just steep ur figs in some whiskey and ferment the figs!  Worst beer of the night seems to be the trouble Or after that probably the pilsner Urquell!  Wel dun lads who brought beers, I particularly liked the belgian ale and the fig beer and Blueshed is doin well with his experiments! all nice beers last night except my Turf Beer

[imark]

my Turf Beer

Would like to try that again in a few months if any left. The lime'd kit impressed. I may do a batch to enjoy when summer eventually comes.

[brenmurph]

the turf mellowed beyond recognition since its kegging 6 wks ago. Ive about 10 pints in keg, which I will bottle, prime and  leave a month r 2 more, can taste at future event. Peter Bamforth suggests that a beer should be tasted slowley with multiple sips over a period of several minutes to all ow flavours to balance out. In the turf case Ive drand several pints on a few occasions and after a few minutes turf cant be tasted at al really it changes to malty and sweetness with a lingering bittersweet finish.

But as Colin says "holy jazus" turf not for me! Dats Y I gave him a bottle of LImey
