I'm giving plenty of notice for the next brewday so if any Dublin CC based people are asking in the RDS for a brewday there is a fixed date.
Venue: Tog, Chancery Lane, Dublin 8 (www.tog.ie)
Cost: Free (Donations will be accepted by tog to pay for their electricity/rent costs)
Format:
Brewing - All Grain, possibly Extract
Beers - I'll be bringing a few of mine, hopefully others can bring theirs
Building - Has anyone got anything they might like to build during the event (ie a stir-plate perhaps)?
Kick off at 10:30 (finishes around 4.30 depending on the complexity of the brew's), see you there! If the weather is good that weekend we can plan out the logistics for a full barbecue for breakfast and lunch. We can see about that closer to the time. I'm hoping to try and cascade brews with some one starting early, before lunch and maybe after lunch. I have got splitters for the water supply so multiple brewers can chill at the same time.
Confirmed Brewers:
Shiny - AG IPA - Brewed on Braumeister
Hingo - Extract Brew - Brewed on TOG Equipment

-Still haven't tried to fix my kettle since the element shorted out, went back to extract partial boils on he cooker. Keen to see the Braumeister in action as am leaning in just cutting out the BS and just going out & getting one. (No more of this DIY non-sense)
Will be Volunteering at the RDS, will try do some recruiting for the day.
I'll pop my head in to check out the braumeister in action at least. Same as bingo, thinking of getting one and just going AG in one go :)

So it will be my first time there as I just joined, how does that work, can I just bring my equipment, plug it in and let's rock 'n'roll?!!
I'll be at the RDS on Sunday.

Pretty much! There will be at least 3 people brewing so we might stagger the brews slightly so that people are not competing for water for chilling.
That's cool, I'll bring all the brewing stuff then!
Great! PM me if you have any questions!
Won't be brewing this time, but plan to in the future. Is there parking at Tog, or do you just drop your stuff off and then bus it back in usually?
It's possible to get 4 cars into TOG but with all the people brewing it would be very tight so maybe 2 or 3.
I just heard about the NHC and Capital brewers over the weekend and was very interested in the brew-days etc.
I'd love to pop my head in and would be more than happy to bring a few of my own brews. Likely a raspberry/lime wheat beer.
I wouldn't mind doing an all-grain brew but being car-less I don't think carrying 20 litres across town would be the best plan!
Hi Sebastian, by all means come along! We have a good few brewing anyway so definitely bring a couple of bottles of your beer and see the set-ups. ;)

Removing myself from the list as it looks like I'll still be away on a work trip for this, unless I get amazingly lucky with my flights.

Sorry guys, I just learnt that I will have to cover my colleague's shift starting in the afternoon, I will come as a spectator but I won't be able to brew...
I bottled my stout this Sunday, do you reckon it's too early to bring a couple for sampling? I usually give it 3 to 4 weeks but do you think it'll be ready?
I won't be able to bring any brewing equipment with me but I will have some yeast for Shiny and I can bring up my pH meter (it's a pretty good one) and some water testing kits. I'll also bring along some bottles of lager (Munich Helles and Vienna Lager) and some barrel aged Imperial Stout + DIPA.
I have lots of vac-packed hops in the freezer that I'd like to sell. If there's any interest I'll post some info here. I have stuff like centennial, citra, amarillo, sorachi ace, EKG, saaz, columbus etc. They're mostly in 100g or 200g packs. Let me know if you're interested in buying some and I'll work out some prices.
Could anyone bring a small gas canister and I'll bring a half keg of hefeweiss? I've only mixed gas left.
I might take some Sorachi, Peter
No worries Rossa. I'll get back to you this evening.

Pellets?
Yep, all pellets except the amarillo.
I'd take 100g of Citra, Centennial and Sorachi Ace off you Peter. I'll bring a sample of my water to test if that's alright?
Mark
Sure, no problem. I have a carbonate hardness test kit and a calcium test kit. They're the two key bits of info you'll need to figure out how to treat your water. We can have a proper chat about it on Saturday!
Well lads, so who's confirmed brewing? I think I can do an extract brew, Im just waiting confirmation of a lift home but one small hiccup I'm facing is a boiler - I haven't looked at my boil kettle since the element burnt out while back, not sure if I can salvage the element with a clean or if I need to replace it.
Do I remember someone saying there was a spare boiler in tog? Or was that a mash tun..?
An alternative is that I can do up a wine kit, just to throw that in the mix for the day that's in it.
I'm brewing anyway, could definitely do with someone else brewing to keep things interesting along with the other stuff going on. There is no equipment in TOG at the moment other than a full fermenter. We will be talking about that 2moro about what we are going to do about having a permanent set of equipment so that people don't always have to lug in equipment to do a brew. Peter can you bring some of that buffer solution for the PH meter, I want to use some to soak that sponge in the lid of mine?
Hi Dr Jacoby,
I would be interested in 100g of amarillo and 100g of Citra. Do you have any Nelson Sauvin by any chance (just trying... Lol)?
@Shiny yep no problem.
@normanbrew i have no Nelson but the rest is fine. I'll be up at about 11 tomorrow hopefully.

I can bring my 16oz bulbs and connector to dispense it if that suits?
Would love to drop in to this but not sure I'll have the time. I presume it's fine to swing by for a nosey unannounced?
Best of luck regardless.

For sure.
Ronan are you bottling 2moro?
Plan on putting it in a keg for now
Cool, that's handier indeed. I'm bringing a cider from last years group buy in addition to a young porter ;) and red.
I'm including the following hash-tags where I can in today's tweets for anyone else who is tweeting during the day: #bigbrewday #NHCIRL
Hope you have a good day. visiting the NCB enroute to Ikea.
