Hi all,
I'm new here but would love to join you for the meet this month. I've been meaning to for a while but things have been a bit hectic in our house!
If bringing a brew, how much do people usually bring? I brew in 2 gallon batches split into 1 gallon demijohns that usually have something different about them (e.g. dry hopping or different yeast) so I usually only have a maximum of 8 bottles of any particular beer. I will have to put some aside from one of my brews if I'm to take it with me on the 25th!

Heya, new people are always welcome to meets. Normally in South Dublin, you just bring 1 500ml bottle of your finest and then we chat away about everything and anything :)

Welcome good Doctor!
As molc says, 1 bottle of beer is enough. Always good craic and lots of brewing chat at the SD meets. See you at the end of the month hopefully.

There's going to be a table quiz in progress on Thursday night (yeah, I know.. crazy people..), so we won't be in our usual spot.
Can whoever is first to arrive just ask Alan or Adam where they want us seated? They know we're coming and have said they'll squeeze us in somewhere.

Out of the 11 candidates in my constituency, 1 has actually personally canvassed my road. And the no-shows actually include a sitting TD who has her constituency office 10 mins walk from my house. >:(

Beerfly's turbo cider was pretty acidic alright, but that's turbo cider for you. I didn't get any hint of brett off it, it was drinkable, but putting it away for 6 months would do wonders. Not so turbo, I know..
The raspberry was very nice, big fruit character.
I've made my mind up on sweetened ciders after last night, they're just not for me.
