Is provisionally pencilled in for the 1st. This is the Saturday of the bank holiday weekend.
Would it suit more to move it to the 8th?
yep Ive planned a trip away in my camper tent
I'll be away that weekend too.
I'm good either weekend but if anyone wants to meet up for drinks anyway on the bank holiday Saturday, I have nothing better to do.
First Dublin match of the championship on the 1st..i will be in croker watching the mighty blues start the campaign to bring Sam back to his rightful home on the liffey
Can probably make the 1st
Probably can't make the 8th
No more interest for this?
Could be the stout-off that was mooted a couple of months back....
Might be working that day :(
Only just started the job :D
New Baby due that date..I'll leave the imperial stout down with Tube this week so mine is there for the filling.
+1 Congrats!
Are we defo doing 8th? I'm going to be away then. :(
I'm probably good on any Saturday.
I'll put a poll on a new thread. I like a good graph!
wat time on the 8th? need to put it on my calender
Looks like the 8th is good for me. At Tubes or in the County?
Time for a list methinks
1. delzep - smoked blonde ale and ropey weissbier
Anyone looking to join up with paid membership and for whatever reason has difficulties doing so online can pay on the day of the tasting (8th of June).

there's a poll. But the 8th is in the lead. I can't make 8th anyway. :(
People gonna be missing either date (summer eh!). Should we try to keep normal Liffey Brewers meets to Thursday in LC and supplement with special events like barrel fill to weekends during the summer?
It looks like the 8th is in the lead. At least it will allow Saurmans beer to finish.
I can't make the 1st or 8th as such but will make the evening party if its still going. ( that work thing really gets in the way! )
The people have spoken...its the 8th. Can it be added to the calendar and twittered?
Tried adding it to the calendar but couldn't figure out how to
I was gonna add my name but it's there as if by magic already!! Would ya mind if i came out on the train before that? Or are ya busy beforehand?
It's at your gaff? How come?
So roughly 1 to 2 is barrel filling and from 2 it's the usual homebrew tasting? Suppose everyone should bring a few beers from the offie as well if we're staying at yours for a couple of hours
kellie & myself b dere with the barrel brew!
I'll be going from Clondalkin. Dunno yet if Kevin and Colin are going too yet but if anyone else from the area wants to share a taxi let me know
Oh yeah fair enough with the beer, I can make a massive coddle and bring it along. Perfect drinking food
Sticking my name down but I need to leave about 6 or so. What time is the BBQ?
1. Tube
2. Rossa
3. Cara
4. Delzep
5. Bren
6. Kellie
7. Saruman
No way I'm bringing it on the train ;)
Will drop it over either on Friday evening or else Saturday before the meet.
What's everyone bringing? It's a tasting session after all
Ropey weissbier and smoked ale for me

That's cool Ronan!
Final call for Saturday lads! Will be buying food tomorrow...
Put your name down if you want in! :)
I'll be there with guest.... Looking forward to it..
Watched the chops brew video hop bomb posted link to. Those guys did a two thumbs quality check. All contributors taste and if 2 people don't want it in... It doesn't go in. May not be feasible approach for Saturday? Have you got all the beer at your place now?
Just to confirm that this is a homebrew tasting session as per usual except it's at tubes gaff as there is little mention of anyone bringing homebrew with them in this thread

they way we did it was everyone tasted it to make sure it was ok. your mainly checking for off flavours or infection, its not that important taste wise as once its in the ballpark it should blend well. definaly want to have everyone in the group taste it cause half way through when checking one fermentor i passed the glass around a second time and 1 or 2 gave totally different comments on the same sample ;D

Derek, yes bring Homebrew. It'll be fairly informal tho.
It's never formal! ;D
will be down @ 1 but need to leave @ 6ish. got a few btls of the Bulldog kit I won for people to try, all my first batch of cider is gone and 2nd batch is only 5 days bottled.
got some free time tomorrow and Monday evening so going to bottle a brew and put on 2 more brews, so im looking for a few little favours.
1 - anybody got crown caps for sale.
2 - looking for hops to add to a dark ale kit, was thinking Bramiling cross and Bullion.
ill bring 100 silver tops for ya
anyone got 3 kg malt I can buy? I just fancy a brewday tomora to do the spruce beer.
seeking any base malt but optimum is lager / pilsner malt otherwise ill make do with maris munich or pale
Blueshed re hops havnt got what u want but have hops if ur really stiuck
willamette, summit saaz perle galena dana (magnum x slovenian) cascade bravo

im planning on doing the Dark ale Finlandia and a wheat beer MYOB.
have cascade, magnum, dana, galena, will, fuggles.
deffo take the caps and what hops you reckon would go with the above kits ?
@ 50g - 100g of Bram X would be perfect.
http://www.thehomebrewcompany.ie/bullion-100g-vacuum-packed-alpha-acid-100-2011-harvest-p-1480.html

well the wheatbeer needs no hop additions as style is lightly hopped, but if going for some xtra aroma / flavour id stick some saaz dry hop or dana for floral / fruity.
will use the Dana I have then for the wheat brew and Tubes Bram X for the dark ale then.
now to tell the wife im going to bottle 20lts of beer and 15lts of cider and brew 2 beers 8)
I'm not able to make it today :(

Great meet yesterday.
Shane, I left a beer at yours. Blueshed gave it to me to review. It's a 1litre or so, I think it was a plastic bottle. It's eastern European beer. I left it on the windowsill in the corner. I'll have to get out off you sometime if it survives. I also forgot to give you money for the barrell.
Magic day alright, I haven't laughed and cried so much in a long time! I alo forgot about the cash and I owe dodge 13!
I'm raging I missed a great day >:(
Well...... How did it go? Were we alright on the fill? :D
Ragin I missed it yesterday. What brews did people bring along?
So cos there was no June homebrew tasting as yet, it can happen on the date you proposed in the July thread with the July one happening a couple of weeks later ;D
I won't be able to make it to the "June meet". Would it be easy to cycle with do ye think?
If you're in the area that would be great. Working days on Tues and Wed though. Should be there Thurs and Fri though. Itching to start all grain brewing
Sounds like it was a good day. Looking forward to seeing the pics.
Thanks Shane for a great day :)
Yeah cheers Shane and Cliona.. really enjoyed the day.
It went well and of course Tube's angel was being the perfect angel she always is :).
finally over came the technical hiccups and got the pictures on to the laptop. should have these and south dublin up tomorrow
Raging I had to miss this.. Still no sign of this child.. Did you taste each brew before going in? Hope mine made the grade
Yes indeed, mucho thanks Il Tubo for a great day, lovely food, tasty brews, and of course mrs. Tube for her patience.. did'nt realise those beers were that strength, no wonder I was struggling on Sunday :-\
Hope Cara has recovered from his mishap ....
I'l bring that purloined tankard to the next meet ;)
