What are the acutal chances?
Has to be done, although May's looking pretty bleak for me at this stage :-\
We have the go-ahead from Brewbot to use their premises for a brew day, and Mark from SPBW has been trying to get us to agree on a day to use one of his 20L pins (think May's bad for him too due to Woodfest - ooo-er, missus).
Probably worth starting a survey to see which Saturday suits most folk.
Cheers,

For a Saturday I'm looking at 17th June....fits my schedule perfectly
I'm interested but nat 17th or 24th of June.
Interested also, flexible on dates at the moment.
Always up for a meet. I'll try and make the date work regardless.
Would be up for this, pretty flexible with dates apart from the 3rd of June
I'm on call most Saturdays in May/June but as long as there's power and wifi I'm good. Only Saturday I can't do is the 10th June.
Do we want to try something like this? Should just be a matter of copying and pasting the last line and replacing the symbols and name to reflect your own availability. See how it works. Might be a pile of sh*te to use.

Lost Bazza from that list already, or was his just a template?
Could use Doodle...

It's not perfect, I'll grant you. But I work in IT so it's not what you asked for; it's what you're getting :)

OOps! First IT blunder of the day. I'm only in.

Just removed May 13th from the list unless we can get the lend of a DeLorean with a flux capacitor.
If everyone agrees I'll remove May 20th too. Kind of too short notice at this stage.
Looks like a toss-up between June 17th and June 24th. Guess I should check with Mark from SPBW.
-Barry
Hi folks.
Looks like we have a tie between June 17th and June 24.
My personal preference would be June 17th, as we will have access to a Grainfather on that date to do the actual brew. Given this will be happening inside a bar, it might be the best approach, involving least mess and fuss. It'd also be a good way to show off the merits of the Grainfather as an all-in-one brewing solution.
Anyway, just wanted to know your thoughts.
Cheers,
-Barry
Obviously I'll second the 17th since it's my ball and if I'm not playing I'm taking it home.
17th suits me lads!
Good for me too.
"It'd also be a good way to show off the Grainfather as an all-in-one brewing solution"
As opposed to what? Brewbot?
Ouch!!!
17th good for me!
Still looking good here too.
Is this open to all, I should be able to make the 17th if so?
It is always open to all and we encourage more and more to come along. If nothing else it's some craic

There's likely very few of the old guard left there to pick up on the (unintentional) irony.
I'll confirm the 17th with them today.
Mark from SPBW had specified a Kentish Ale as a preferred brew. I've plenty of EKG, Pale and Crystal, Biscuit and Amber. Only other consideration is yeast.
Maybe a decent Spitfire clone?
Roo/Ciaran: will you be in contact with GEB any time in the next couple of weeks? Might be worth mentioning our plans to them in case they fancy popping in.
-Barry
I also have plenty of grain that needs used up now that I'm out of the house for 10 weeks - I won't be using it any time soon. Also should have a range of hops that might be useful. I can try GEB and see if they're interested.
Got confirmation from Brewbot today that Saturday 17th June is a go-er.
The only minor issue is that the bar doesn't open till 1pm, but they've said we can come in and start at 12pm when the staff arrive. Suits me, as I'm always self-conscious about drinking pints before noon :P
So, officially it's: Belfast Homebrewers brew day Saturday 17th June at 12pm in Brewbot bar. Everyone welcome.
I'll ping Mark from SPBW to see if he has a preferred recipe.
Cheers,
-Barry
Awesome! Will be there :)
I've double-booked so it's a ? for now.
Ditch the other thing and hang out wit your homies
Count me in too!
New guy here, I'll be there.
i might show my face if that's all right? Was the brew decided in the end?

Yep; come along. Always good to see new members.
Probably going to settle on a Spitfire clone.
Cheers,
-Barry
Excellent, on my list that one.
Hi folks,
Last reminder about our wee brewing event in Brewbot tomorrow.
Hoping to start as near to 12pm as possible, although the bar doesn't officially open till 1pm, but hoping to have the strike water heated by that stage.
The gorgeous Ruairi will be showcasing his Grainfather system as we throw together a Kentish style ale for conditioning in a wooden pin, supplied by SPBW NI.
Should be a great day. So forget that big yellow boyo in the sky and come join is in the excellent Brewbot bar.
We're all planning on sporting our Belfast Brew Club finery, right?
Cheers,
-Barry
Rock and a hard place for me Barry. I'm torn between official Club attire and the Grainfather tee and truckers cap.
Screw it....there's more quality in the polo.
