We have been given permission to give similar samples to last year - Those small plastic sample glasses that Will got us !
If you brewed last year and fancy doing it again - please get brewing !
We need about 5 kegs corny kegs (19l). This is to give a sample to someone who you are talking to about homebrew.
It worked well last year but we need to be careful it isnt abused - so no homebrew into glasses - just the sample plastics.
Anyways if you fancy donating a keg - please reply- also handy if you are about when its on - as people will probably be interested to talk to the brewer.
I suppose we need to max this at 6 for the moment.

So we have a great list of beers already but who is manning the stand?

We really need to step up to this oportunity to recruit more brewers!

Oh is that the craft range cider kit Jacob? I've been itching to pick that particular one up but wasn't sure if I'd like it. Perfect timing :)

:) Yes, that's the one. Going to post review tomorrow.
Do you need anymore samples I have a 11litre keg of Common Lager / steam beer I could send up
Should we bring along at least one duff beer so as not to embarrass our young and not so young commercial brewers on the day >:D >:D >:D

I can help you out there, I have loads of bottles of duff beers, probably more like cider now :)
Shanna
Absolutely - do you have someone who can bring it in on the day and take the empty away ??
Try not to leave kegs overnight - we cant take responsibility for them.
Guys -
Any more samples people can bring along ?? 1/2 kegs are good as well !!
Have ye an in line chiller like last year? Ive just over half a keg of awesome juicy citra pale ale.
I have 2/3rds of a quite nice american pale ale I can bring on Saturday and stay with at the stand for the morning if it's wanted?
@hopbomb - we have an inline chiller
@enna - class, we need some there for 12 on Saturday , thanks a million, bring the beer as well ;-)

Cool, I'll be there for 11.30. I presume I only need to bring the keg, gas and taps will be already set up?
Gas / Taps / inline chiller / disconnects all setup
Just the keg and your grand.
Great stuff !
Is dere room on table for 30 ltr oak cask?
We can make room !! If needs be we can setup a smaller side table or the like.
Can it be dispensed normally ? We have two lines setup with disconnects / taps / inline chillers for cornie kegs
Our plan was to bring the oak cask on handpump filled with a blend of an English IPA and our bos red ale. Been tasting and blending all week deciding on which 2x cornies to fill de cask. The cask is significant vanilla hint in the finish with a great malty ale using our home grown target. We want to bring a beer that reflects nhc best brewer quality and we believe the above fits de bill. The cask will draw a lot of attention to the stand as shud de handpump.
Sorry to answer can it be dispensed normally.. Yes from its own brass tap however the beer deserves a great head which the handpump and sparkler will do with small samples. Dropping a small sample by gravity may not work. Serving oak cask via standard beer tap may not marry well with an oak cask ale
Well Feel free to bring all the associated bits !
We have space on the stand - might have to shuffle things around a bit
Great stuff
