Pitched an out of date(by one and a half months) vile of yeast...massive underpitching to try and produce more esters...70 hour lag time :)
Sat on the yeast a little longer than planned, 3 weeks instead of 2

3. Nigel : something. Will update.


With all the competition talk going on, I think we should come up with some ideas for out own. As the garden county lads are doing I think a single style or theme is a great way to keep everyone on the same page but still give people space to play around. 
I like the idea of a low abv "Summer beer" competition that we could run June/July. Sure we can talk it out and see what people think on Tuesday.

Also I would like to discuss a brew day at the Boro, probably in May!

I may may have some excess hops I wont get to use before the group buy gets in so I'll bring along anything I have to spare.
If anyone has any new yeast strain I'd be interested in taking a vial. I will post anything i have to spare in the next few days.

gonna miss this once guys, until next time :P

also if anybody has different hop plants or are willing to take cuttings let me know, I got cascade and bramleyX just showing a few leaves but want to get as many types as i can, also let me know if anybody wants either of those (bramly might take a couple months to get cuttings established)

I'd certainly take the Brambling Cross when you have it availble.

Can swap you a Goldings or Challenger (In pots already) See you in April unless you want to pop around sooner.

Talking of hops:

I lost my Tettnanger and Northern Brewer!!

Any body got any cuttings I can have?

Maybe the April meet could be a big "hop-swop-shop"

or have we time for Tuesday?

I'd like 2 please?

Suggest you bring them to the meet - am sure people will take the spares.

I know you said free but I will certainly pay!
How much were they?

If you don't want to take any money then we donate to the NCB fund
Title: Re: March meet 11th 7pm
Post by: magnethead on March 10, 2014, 02:27:40 PM
haha No bother, they were only a few quid....and I know they'll just rot with all my other spares if I don't get rid of them.

I'll bring the bag along to the meet so  :P
Title: Re: March meet 11th 7pm
Post by: Partridge9 on March 10, 2014, 10:27:07 PM
Put me down for one - they are handy -

I bring you some hops in exchange.

Great night again last night.

A very productive meeting. I will be creating three new threads for them.

Sorry I had to run but the beers I did taste were awesome. Here's to the next meeting!
