Hi lads
The next meeting will be in soraghans pub adree road dundalk on the 16 of May at 9 pm
We usually run it on the second Friday of the month but for this month only we are skipping a week due to brew con being on sat and some of the group are way on a pre arranged piss up in Dublin
I am hoping to get to brewcon and want to save up some brownie points to escape on sat !
Regards
Brian
The 16th? That's a Saturday. Did we not say Friday the 15th?
Sorry lads my fat fingers hit a 6 in stead of 5
Yes Friday the 15 of may at 9
Danger Zone you'll have alot of prep to do for the next meeting with these new BJCP guidelines :P

Dammit,now I have to re learn all the catagory numbers
What are we all bringing next week?
I'll be taking my American Brown Ale and a Pale Ale that I entered in the Garden County comp
I'll hopefully have my ipa (if i've any left) and a fuggle smash (english bitter) that i only bottled last night. It might be carbed in time
I'll have the pale ale and black ipa I had at Vantastival.
I will have an American Amber and an ESB - I didn't have any of these at Vantastival.
What would you guys think about sharing any left over ingredients with each other? We could get a wee swap shop going
For example: I have some crystal EBC113, crystal EBC145, chocolate, and biscuit malt that I probably won't use up any time soon, that I don't mind sharing if any of ye need a few grams
Looking forward to meeting you all on Friday lads.
I have a horrendous Kriek that I won't bother bringing as it's kin to cats p**s and making it's way towards the drain.
Other than that I've nada :(
I do have the Apollo IPA and the Particular Peters Stout coming from the Homebrewing Company and hope to get 1 on this Saturday
Should be up after the Dundalk game around 9:45 / 10:00!

Nice one Acott, I won the Saison kit from THC, result! I don't mean to piss on your parade, but I think we just get one of the options we listed for the comp. See you Friday!

Fierce fancy, congratulations on all fronts!

I believe you'll be nominated to do our next brew day to make us all envious :P
i'd love to see the grainfather in action it seems pretty foolproof but it'll take out all the fun of messing up our next brewday...(i wonder how that stout is doing)
If anyone has any entries for the Garden County competition bring them along on Friday night. Just remember to take any existing labels off the bottles.
As much as I enjoyed scraping the life out of Danger Zone's, I don't fancy doing any more.
Woops. Thanks :)
No bother really, I just like whinging!
We're irish. Whinging and moaning are our favourite pastimes

If it's ok, mind if I drop my bottles into the pub for collection? Should be at the Dundalk match Friday night and that's about as close as I'll getting to Wicklow.

I'll be at the match on Friday night, then meeting the lads in the pub after. I could save you a trip if you want to give them to me after the game? There's no problem if you'd prefer dropping in to the pub for the craic!
Come on the town ;)

That's perfect. We normally head straight back after but I'll see the craic on the day sure. :)
Just throwing this out there for anybody thinking of going from south/mid louth and needs a lift. Myself and helmet are heading from drogheda so just ask if you want a lift. You'll also be dropped home afterwards ;)

Great to have you. I've been looking at my gear in the shed with disgust all day after seeing your pics. Need to keep up with the Joneses!

It was great to meet you and see the set up I'm sure all of us would love. If you want to go to the next meeting myself and helmet can organise a lift for you
Totally forgot to say thanks for a great night on Friday lads! Great to meet you all and finally put faces to names.
There were some amazing beers passed around, makes me wonder if I should bring some next time for fear of embarrassment!
Big thank you to Cronan for all the bottles, I can't remember which was which but i'm looking forward to enjoying them all ;D
I'll be leaving the car at home for the next one!
