Mountmellick beer needed

Hi,

I am doing an amateur exhibit in Mountmellick library in August on the old malt factory and would love to serve Mountmellick beer at reception launch.

Would you happen to know anyone who brews it with the home kits? Here are the kits:

I'd gladly pay for some if someone has any made.

Many thanks,
Sean

Hi seansouth,

Welcome to the forum.

Firstly, selling homebrew beer is illegal.

Depending on process, Homewbrew beer can take 2 weeks to a month to be ready.

When in August is this event?
Have you a link to it?

Making beer from kit is pretty straightforward once you follow a few basic guidelines and keep sanitation in check. Assuming you are in Mountmellick you have a homebrew store on your doorstep.

Why Muntons? There are many other kits, but have a look here...

I am by no means a historian but here are 2 links to Mountmellick and Brewing...

Best of luck,
John

Some other thoughts...
If your presentation is a paid ticketed event, and you were to give beer samples away, you are breaking the law.
If you have a bucket fermenting in the corner, then you are 'probably' ok.
An active fermentation might be eye-candy enough for people who already know what beer tastes like.

For about E60 you could be bubbling away...

Just add water.

Not a ticket event, just an amateur history event. I'm dropping the idea now as Mountmellick beer kits have been removed from market. [I had included in link but don't think you saw that]
Thanks,
Sean

Hi seansouth,

The link was there all right.

muntonsbeerkits.com seems to be a Canadian spin off from muntons.com (UK)

Maybe they put together Diddley-Aye kits for Irish ex-pats which might be a nod to the stuff I linked.

Kind regards,
John
