Top idea !!!
Sounds like fun!
I'm there!
just a month to the expo.
I have a spare 20L keg from an R&D batch of Kinsale Pale Ale if that's any good to you? Very nice a little high on the ABV (6%)

I think they were supposed to be there last year to give a talk about malting, but didn't make it. I They did leave samples of malt I think via Peter, or maybe that was just from the F Well. Probably no harm to ask mci though, as they might contribute something for the day.
I'll give Chris a call so ...
Hey Sean, any word on MCI@Expo ?
Hi Lads,
I've a wedding on the 22nd at 14:00 but I'll swing in in the morning if ye need a hand setting up.
I presume there'll be lads inside from 08:00 or wahtever?
Lemmie know.
Brian
I Don't think MCI will be there and they won't be selling grain .
I'd say it'll be closer to 10am start on the day for those of us working the Stands
( that's 4 whole hours to set up and be mashed in ready to sparge around 2pm . )
The Homebrew Company will be in attendance on Saturday.
If anyone wants anything specific brought down just send us an email or pop it on here.

Looing for a Counter top capper and caps.
Your website says counter top cappers are out of stock.
Is this the case?
Hi Shane !!
Couple of things actually
LVBC wants to Buy a bottle tree and also We were hoping to demonstrate extract Kit Brewing ( using a Brupack brewers choice kit ) If you can bring a few of those
it'd be great ( Maybe the Czech Lager one or the Dusseldorf alt ?)
The all grain Brew we'll be doing is a Kellerbier with a noble hop twist so I was in a little while back in mountmellick and picked up Saaz and Hallertaur Leaf
but if You can bring me a pack of Spalt and Tettnang ( leaf ) that'd be great ....
I think I'll use Perle for bitterring , but I have some of that already .....
Cheers Shane and See you on Sat !!!
