Lads, I'm suggesting Thursday 2nd May for the next South Dublin tasting. 6 weeks should give everyone an opportunity to get another brew on.
Could I suggest we go with a theme this time? Everyone should have plenty of hops in stock from the US/Aus 2012 harvest so how about restricting beers to single-hopped brews? Is that a bit restrictive? It would be a great opportunity to compare the different hop varieties and particularly useful for any less experienced brewers.
Naturally, the style can be anything as long as it's a hop-forward beer - pale ales, ambers, brown ales, black IPA, Belgians, hop forward porters etc.
I'll suggest the Dark Horse as the venue again as people seemed very happy with the location, but if anyone has any alternatives in mind, just shout.
What do you think? If interested, throw your name below, but don't worry if you don't have a beer in mind yet.
1. Paddy Bubbles - Amarillo Brown Ale
Sounds good Conor!
Well done again on sorting this out with the black horse.
I usually take a short dart trip for my trips to the pub, I might just go a couple of stops further in future to blackrock.

I can't make Thursdays, pretty much ever. Possibly in July but otherwise that is it. Is it Thursday you are thinking of from now on?
No not at all Rossa. I was conscious of the last meet unintentionally clashing with the Beoir meet so I wanted to play it safe this time and avoid Wednesday. Though now that I think of it, I think irish_goat mentioned that the Beoir meets were on the 3rd Wednesday of every month.
If Mon/Tue/Wed suits people better we'll change the day/date no probs. Jimmy/Shiny would either of you object to a change in date? How about Tue 7th instead?

Ok for the 2nd of May but can't make the 7th :(
No objections here.
I was actually thinking wednesday suits me better because I often go for a pint with another crew of a thursday.
And yes - beoir meets are every third wednesday. But I dont think anyone on our list really attends them - could be wrong

Ok lads, as most people have responded positively to Tue 7th, we'll settle on that date for the next tasting. Andrew, sorry the date doesn't suit, but if your plans change, please do come along.
I don't seem to be able to change the "subject" of this thread, could one of the mods do this for me??
Just bumping this to remind everyone. Come on lads, bring your single hop beers down to this meetup.
(Of course, even if your beer isn't of the the single-hop variety come along anyway. All welcome)
I still havent brewed :( - still time though!!
Ah sure, just bring along whatever you have dude. I want to taste some of the world famous JimmyBrau.
I bottled up an American Brown last night as it happens, hopped to feck with Amarillo.

A correction from me. My mild was made with Fuggles, not Goldings.

That's allowed. ;)
Looking forward to tasting it!
Surely you must have something with diacetyl in it that we can use to compare notes!! :P

Haha - yeah I most certainly do - one bottle! I'll bring it along!
Paddy, ;) can I pay you for my share of the barrel at the tasting?
Certainly shiny. All cash gratefully accepted! :P
By the way how much is the payment. How many people are owners of the barrel.

If the other barrel I'm in on is anything to go by its around €7 each approx.
At the end of it all I still see the barrel as being property of the person storing it so if you want to use it as firewood or a garden planter you wont have any objections from me.

Good question! We'll have to wait a get our signups finalised, before we can determine that.

I quite agree, though I'd love to see a second brew going into it. A barleywine perhaps? Or we could go Belgian and spike the barrel with Brett and other such funkies.
Hi there,
As the barrel can take a 2nd beer I would hope that we can go and use it to the maximum. However as we will have between 4-6 months to figure this out (or however long we decide to age the first barrel) it should not be a problem. I was thinking that when this eventually goes to the great big cooperage in the sky to cut the barrel down the middle both from the top and the middle. This would produce four decorative planters for my garden(will buy a sheet of cheap ply and stick that on the back of the fourth of the barrel). With an old style carpenters plane I see no reason in the world why the entire inside of the barrel can't have a good shave to remove as much usable oak shavings as possible. The shavings could be shared out among the buyers of the barrel. The planters I am going to insist on keeping as it how I am keeping my wife on side while this rest in the shed (darling imagine how this barrel will look when it is filled with flowers).
Shanna.
Absolutely, I think it would be a shame to only get one use out of the barrel.
I like your thinking with the oak shavings.
Can you confirm this is still on for tomorrow night. What time do you meet up roughly?
Looking forward to meeting up - I'll bring a bottle along for tasting - it is single hop although not a style intended to showcase that hop.
Brewtus
Confirmed for tomorrow night! Hope to see you all there. :)
I won't make this one. I'm in before sunrise tomorrow. I'll bring my wai-iti pale next time.
Ah shite*.
I thought it was at 7...

A small turnout tonight, but the standard of beer and conversation never suffered as a result. :)
Full write-up on the blog to follow.
My image's weren't great due to focusing issues last night. Here are a couple anyway. Just keep the blurry ones small and no one will notice... ;)

Yes, I was having some "focusing issues" myself by the end of the night... :D
Cheers for those.
