Title: Rebel Brewers - May Meet
Post by: johnrm on May 05, 2014, 01:38:57 PM
We need to start thinking about the May Meet.

As well as the Gi-Normous Barrel cup, I have received a box of beer for the Rebel Brewers.
Big thanks to Dean McGuinness at Premier International for this.

Here are the beers...
Widmer Brothers Old Embalmer '13 670ml
Widmer Brothers Rasberry Russian '13 670ml
Urthel Samaranth 330ml
Urthel Saisoniere 330ml
Urthel Hop-it 330ml 330ml
Hogans Dry Cider 500ml
Hogans Medium Cider 500ml
Hogans VIntage Perry 2010 500ml
Black Sheep Progress Limited Edition 750ml
Bosteels - Deus - Brut de Flandres 750ml
Brown Paper Bag Gose 330ml
Brown Paper Bag Pleasant 330ml
Brown Paper Bag Big Red 330ml

I suggest we bring a few to each of the next few meets and share out samples then.

Love to, however this Sat might be a bit short notice, I know I'm booked.
Meets tend to be at the end of the month, how are you fixed for Sat 24th?

Post by: LordEoin on May 08, 2014, 08:58:57 PM
Yeah, with the barrel filling on friday night and lee valley's thing on saturday, i'm sure a lot of people are running short on brownie points, although I'd love to come out for a brewday at your place some time :)

Post by: johnrm on May 16, 2014, 09:55:27 PM
I can duck in for a bit on 23rd possibly...
Title: Re: Rebel Brewers - May Meet
Post by: LordEoin on May 17, 2014, 01:36:19 AM
23rd is good with me, hopefully my low ABV will be carbed up by then too
Title: Re: Rebel Brewers - May Meet
Post by: mr hoppy on May 17, 2014, 12:15:32 PM
Probably ok for me as well.
Title: Re: Rebel Brewers - May Meet
Post by: LordEoin on May 17, 2014, 11:08:51 PM
I have four spare 50ml vials of Danstar Nottingham Ale Yeast (WLP-039) if anyone wants/needs some.

Possibly make this, have a really salty bitter. Was messing around with water treatment and my "hand slipped". Good example of what not to do.

I should be able to make it on Friday on what shall hopefully be my first of many meetings. Should I bring something along? I have the Hbc extra stout, and a turbo cider but that's only been in bottle forover a week. I'm drinking a glass of the stout now and loving it, bought ingredients to make a few brews in the next couple of days so would appreciate ideas. I look forward to meeting ye. I'm guessing it will be the Fran Well?
Title: Re: Rebel Brewers - May Meet
Post by: LordEoin on May 21, 2014, 08:50:51 PM
Yup Farn well :)
Bring soe of that stout, i'd love to try it. folks generally bring about 2 pint bottles so that there's enough for everyone to have a taster
Title: Re: Rebel Brewers - May Meet
Post by: Garry on May 21, 2014, 11:11:15 PM
I'm not going to make this one lads  :(

Title: Re: Rebel Brewers - May Meet
Post by: johnrm on May 22, 2014, 07:39:54 AM

Title: Re: Rebel Brewers - May Meet
Post by: LordEoin on May 22, 2014, 11:45:22 AM

Post by: johnrm on May 22, 2014, 11:15:44 PM

Cork is Far Away.
Fran Well is Exotic.

Post by: mr hoppy on May 22, 2014, 11:49:52 PM
BTW if anyone is coming along and has 100 - 200g of acid malt to spare I'd happy to swap / pay whatever.
Title: Re: Rebel Brewers - May Meet
Post by: johnrm on May 23, 2014, 07:19:21 AM
So 100 or 200, which is it?
Title: Re: Rebel Brewers - May Meet

Either.
Title: Re: Rebel Brewers - May Meet
Post by: donnchadhc on May 23, 2014, 08:35:49 AM
I might have some, but it'll be about four years old though!
Title: Re: Rebel Brewers - May Meet
Post by: Taf on May 23, 2014, 09:20:38 AM
I'll try to get in for an hour, but will only be flying visit.
Title: Re: Rebel Brewers - May Meet

Shove it in an oven for an hour, toast it and put it in a dark beer.
Title: Re: Rebel Brewers - May Meet
Post by: donnchadhc on May 23, 2014, 09:44:16 AM
I'll see if I can dig up the bag of it, I've no need for it anyway.
Title: Re: Rebel Brewers - May Meet
Post by: LordEoin on May 23, 2014, 10:08:44 AM

Title: Re: Rebel Brewers - May Meet
Post by: mr hoppy on May 23, 2014, 06:44:44 PM
Could be an idea to give them a heads up all the same.

Definitely definitely need to give them a heads up, as I got a lot of grief the last time we didn't. I will call there now.
Title: Re: Rebel Brewers - May Meet
Post by: Taf on May 23, 2014, 07:42:46 PM
Just rang and they are jammers, so can't book a table, but will stick a reserved sign down if anywhere becomes available. Definitely need to give them more notice in future if you want a decent table.
Title: Re: Rebel Brewers - May Meet
Post by: donnchadhc on May 23, 2014, 08:13:21 PM
Won't make this one, something came up.
Title: Re: Rebel Brewers - May Meet
Post by: johnrm on May 23, 2014, 08:17:40 PM
Oops, lots on do didn't think. Looking like a small gathering though.
Title: Re: Rebel Brewers - May Meet

Title: Re: Rebel Brewers - May Meet
Post by: Garry on May 23, 2014, 09:40:20 PM
They're usually out the back. Look for national homebrew club hoodies and bags of home brew.

Been busy lately and Minding small fellas tonight so won't be there. Enjoy lads.
