Also I think a lot of Liffeyers aren't into Belgians (yet) so won't vote.
They will be if Marks list for the beer order for the LC goes ahead ;D

eh! Don't be confusing matters further you :P
Oud Bruin of course.... we don't even have to look very far for a recipe. Dodge can sort that one out ;)

Agree...Hopefully we'll get a bit more interest in a barrel fill. We'll need to provide 60L each at this rate!
I'm sure dodge can help us out on that score too.
Was just passing through M&S liffey valley and they have own brand old bruin in bottles. Also have bottled Bo Bristle pale ale first I have ever come across this beer on sale.

I noticed the store on Grafton St. is now stocking O'Hara's and 8 Degrees also. Massive coup for these breweries I'd imagine.

Did you try a bottle of their oud bruin? Never had that one. Might be worth a spin over for a bottle.
Hard decision to make since I'd like to brew both for the barrel. I think it would make sense to do the Oud bruin first before the lambic as I've already said but will go along either way.
Timing is the only issue since I'm away on holiday over Xmas period for 3 weeks. This will determine if I brew for the barrel or not.

Ha, ha. I'd like to persuade the rebels to do a flanders (rebel) red - but I think I'll need to do one meself first persuade them!
Have you voted above mr_happy? I haven't yet ::)
Which way do we want to sway it? :P

Checked out a bottle. Its not oud bruin and not worth the price they're charging either.

Doh, I thought it was gueze, then geueze, and now I read it's gueuze! Spell check has a problem with them all...
Some are gueze and some are gueuze as far as I know
There is also a gose from what I remember.

Polish isn't it?
Just double checked and it's German
Lambic will need a late surge of interest to swing this one away from the Oud Bruin fill.
I think so. Probably worth starting a new thread with Recipe and contributors?
I'll check in with Dodge and we'll get the recipe up. We need to have a discussion about where and when we want to do this. I heard rumours of a migrating barrel? If this happens I presume fill best to happen post move.
Is there any interest in buying a few cans of krieken From Belgium?

Tell me more.
You can buy tinned kriek cherries for making a kriek. Oud bruin is the base of a few commercial fruit beers, as previously mentioned Liefmanns kriek is based on OB. Not that Liefmanns is a particularly good one although it's a nice sweetened example.

Do you have a link or source we could get them Eoin? What verieties are in them etc. I had been planning on getting some frozen or fresh Morello cherries but if there is a better option I could be interested.
I found them previously, I'll look from a pc later. They are krieken, which as far as I understand is the lambic variety, they are not particularly good eating cherries from what I understand.

Kriek is simply the Dutch word for cherry and krieken is the plural. It's not a variety as far as iI know

Nope, a cherry is a kers, plural would be kersen.

Sour morellos
Sent from my HTC One
There are morello cherries in every garden centre you go to. There should be an abundance of the bloody things around. Now to find a gardener with a few pounds of these that they don't want.
Or better still...anybody know of wild irish cherry tree somewhere we could tap for a few kg next autumn. I imagine they'd be even more tart and therefore excellent
There is a certain public house in town that has Leifmans Goudenband in stock. Might warrant a field trip :P

If it's porterhouse it'l be on the menu but out of stock
It's Porterhouse and I confirmed stock this morning. 8)
Hope you saw it in person, cos if it was over the phone they may have been looking at leffe, not Leifmans

Wasn't in person but I spelled it out to them. I've had it there before on a few occasions. Still, I'm a risk taker.
Cool. I should be there before you. Can't stay too long though

It is possible to get tins of the original Schaarbeek krieken, local morellos if available would be cool too.

I thought that Schaarbeek cherries were super rare and not available commercially. Schaarbeek is basically a grotty suburb of Brussells now. Tim Webb says at best most krieks have sour Polish cherries.
Even Drei Fontanein Oude Krieke only contains 35% Schaarbeekse Krieken and it's not exactly cheap, even at the brewery (which is well worth a visit).
I think I'll have to move to Kildare....

You mightn't have to migrate just yet. External input may be required.
Thoroughly enjoyed bottle of Goudenband I had in porterhouse yesterday. Excellent beer. I'm really looking forward to this brew.
Just reading up on a Belgian site, I can read a bit of Dutch, 50-60kg of krieken added to a 250l vat of lambic..... :O

Wow...that's a nice few punnets. I made 20L of framboise and used 3.5kg of raspberries.
I think we'd be adding fruit to part of the 200L and doing it on our own.
