Hi all midland brewers.
Got me thinking on what's the interest in a brew day on Sat 31st Aug?
It would be an all grain brew.
Location my place.
All attending could help with formulating the recipe under my guidance for those not too sure.
Result brew will be split to all helping.
BBQ on the day.
Camp over to enjoy home brew into the night
Invite goes out to my Liffey brewers!
Let me know what you think.
Dodge
That's the day I fly out to texas Rodger so unfortunately I Won't be able to make it
Fair play Dodge. Count me in. The Midlands Branch lives :D
Just checking and I'm off for a week over the beginning of August so the 10th could work out aswell if not better for me.
How does this look for you all?
Yep I can do the tenth
Great idea Dodge, unfortunately I wouldn't be able to make the 10th. I'm going to the Liverpool v Celtic game.
It would have to be later in the month for me to make it..... I'm away the first 2 weeks! But keep the thread going we'll find a date that suits most!!
Ok Damun and Damofto, would you be up for a brew day and tasting on the Sat 31? Camp over as well with a fab BBQ?
Other midland brewers don't be shy. Don't have to stay over if you don't want to
Sounds great Dodge, probably won't camp but I will get a lift home so that I can have a few beers.
Damofto, that's fine. It was just to keep the midlands club going. If there is any style or beer you want to brew on the day let me know.
Dodge
I'll make the 31st....
For those thinking of the 10 Aug. I'm brewing an unusual beer. A black barley wine. Something to keep and treasure. Don't be afraid to join me and others on the day
wat time u kicking off?
do u have everything u need? should I / we bring anything to help? A stack of garden chairs / gazebo air beds???? or ar under control?
I might start just after lunch, don't want to be busy all the way into the night.
I'm assuming all that want to stay over have what is needed. Maybe an extra couple of chairs won't be any harm. I might pick up a gazebo on my days off.
I think I have all covered. Just hope all can also bring some home brew.
Anything else you think I may need feel free to give me a shout
Any ideas of numbers yet Rodger? I was thinking of bringing along the smoker and firing on a shoulder..If the numbers are small it might be over kill
Brenmurph defo 2 ( maybe 3)
Myself, kellie and good chance one my (adult) sons will be along.
Gareth I think we are up to about 5 and a couple still to decide. It would be nice to see the smoker going. If there is anything I can contribute or pay let me know.
No need for that dodge your hospitality is payment enough.. I'll bring it along so
I'm looking forward to it! Let me know what time you think you'll be down at :)
No bother shane
ll have 2 + myself and two teenagers if thats allowed? We can all crash in the trailer tent.
I brought a corny of my dry hopped mild to doolin the weekend and the lads kept drinkin it so it must have been allright :) its empty coming home :( lucky I have another keg of same.....I can bring this keg of the same and I also can bring a keg of my garden english ale ( lovely session bitter) if ye be havin a few pints on the day.
Ill bring a hamper from my garden ( cucumber, lettuce, beetroot, onions, and a few spuds)
Hope above will help the party
anything else I can do let me know
regards Brendan
That sounds great Brendan! I'll be having a few and look forward to trying yours.
Thanks for your generosity ;D
I have to bail on this, sorry, too much on.

Excellent photos Gareth,
Super pics, sorry I missed the gig.
Dodge, are you still thinking of doing something next weekend?
Yeah no problem for Saturday. Just have to see if Damun is free as well since it will be just the 2 of you
Brew day is cancelled on Saturday 31st Aug
I was knocked off my bike and I have broken my collar bone. Sorry about this, maybe we can organise something at a later date :'(
Sorry to hear that Dodge.
That means 6 weeks off work though.
I expect to see LOTS of posts on here! ;)
Sorry to hear that Dodge, don't worry about the brew day at all. Hope you're back in action soon!
That's a bummer Dodge! Did you see who it was ............... Was there a Liffey Brewers Sticker on the back of the car? :P
Thought they'd wait to closer to the comp to take you out
Were you knocked off by a crazy fecker on a skateboard?
A case of mistaken identity maybe?
brewday Kildare saturday and sunday. If ye are so dissapointed with Dodges misfortune come on over to It, bring ur tent :)
