Hey,

I'm a newbie here and am wondering if I can come along? Do you have to be a full member, or can online members come along? Myself and a friend have just brewed our first all grain pale ale, so we can bring along a few bottles of that. Would love a bit of feedback about it....

Cheers,

Phil

Hey folks.

newbie meself, wouldn't mind coming along and showing the face O0
Spoke to a few of you in the Intro thread and was saying I'd only have a few beerkit brews bring along, so wont be anything spectacularly original but  a bit of feed back to see I'm getting the fundamentals right would be appreciated. (the first batch I did I'd say will need some welcome constructive criticism anyway!)

Hi Hingo!

You are more than welcome to come along. Farringtons generally gets quite busy, we will be upstairs where there is plenty of room.
Generally whatever number of people put down their name, we tend to get double that with people who show up.

Anyone heading along tonight got a medium size stirbar they could sell me. Mines about a centimetre and not big enough now my starter is about a pint... Cheers...

Mr McGrath, If you don't need both stir bars could I buy one? Expecting 2 from China but they could be in the slow boat!!

No conspiracy,  simple mistake on my part as I picked the wrong thread to copy.

Aplogies.
