Sully (shebrewer1) here. Sorry I'm only getting on the forums now, had to set up a Gmail account and change my username (to Shebeen Head Brewer). On the brew day  I can bring 28L brew in the bag system with a double IPA and a light ginger beer recipe.

I'd love to but cooling would be a bitch and dragging it all back to Naas would be even bitchier.

Hi all, is Sunday open to newbies?
Title: Re: Tog brewday 13th October
Post by: Dunkel on October 10, 2013, 03:55:36 PM
Hi Paul

Yes, Sunday is completely open to all. I would encourage you to come along, see how beer is made (there's many different ways, and it's interesting to see how different brewers use different techniques) and ask lots of questions. And taste some home brews. All free. Sure, what else would you be doing on a Sunday anyway?   ;)

Fantastic.  I'm interested in learning how to brew and get better at distinguishing different types of beer.  Looking forward to it :)

I was talking with a guy last night who runs a food & drink show on Dublin City FM. I mentioned the NHC, and he was very interested both from his own point of view, and also his show. He wants to come down to a brewday to interview people, describe the brewing process, try a few beers, etc. He can't make this Sunday, but was interested in the November one. What do you reckon?
Title: Re: Tog brewday 13th October

Sure! The more the merrier.

Me too, after my brewing plans were derailed by an 11 month old yeast activator pack sent to me by a clueless UK supplier.

Shana. Sully here. I'm going to brew a double IPA with the brew in the bag system and use the run-off from that grain bill to brew a ginger beer between two and four percent alcohol. I also managed to buy a box of Five Lamps Liberty brown ale in that Prospur off-licence just off Westland Row because I have no homebrew to show on the day due to building going on at home.

Had an enjoyable brew day as always. I don't think I had seen someone do BIAB style brewing before.
Thanks for the Cider Kevin, fingers crossed the other half will approve!  ;)

I went along for the first time to TOG today. There seemed to be a lot of confusion about who was coming along and who was doing what on the day. There was a long delay before we eventually got started.  Organisation could have been a bit better. I got to talk to some interesting people though. Enjoyed the few beers that members brought along to share.  Interesting to see the brewing process from basic raw materials. Not sure I'd have the patience !

Post by: Shane Phelan on October 14, 2013, 01:08:41 PM
I wouldn't worry about it too much. It was only Sully's first or second time brewing in TOG compared to the other brewers who would have been brewing every month since the start and have an optimised their set-ups to suit.

There is normally an extract brew done on the day which is more straightforward than the all grain method which took place yesterday. There was a lot more beer for tasting than usual though, so everyone was spoiled in that regard.  :D

I should have organised another couple of brewers for the day, and thanks to Sully for doing the job! His first brewday in Tog I think?

I'm sorry I missed out on it as it's alway interesting to see how everyone does things just slightly differently!

Have never seen the top of my head like this before. How long have I had a bald patch?
