Title: Lambic barrel emptying - end of March
Post by: admin on February 22, 2015, 09:50:48 PM
Everyone who brewed originally, if you want your contribution back you will need to get enough sanitised containers to me by the 18th of March. You need to email me with your plans. If you're not in you can't win.

Due to space constraints there won't be room for anyone bar a few helpers on the day.

Great. I'll probably drop it over on filling day and not hang around with the shed being so small.

Great. What day is the filling?

What's going in our barrel this time or is it being scrapped?

I'd certainly like my portion of scrapped barrel if that is the case.  It was probably the most expensive barrel project I've been involved in.

TBC. Yeast cost more than the barrel. €110 vs €88.
True enough. Looking forward to hearing what we are going to do. What are our options?

Anybody got a source of sour cherries yet? I bought these sour cherries in a Polish store but I don't think they're going to be any good for kriek because I think they're sweet after using Google translate.

If it wasn't for the fact that we don't want to help you brew great beers  :P ,we could have asked our Polski brew master (aka Jacob) to help with the translation!

Am pretty sure that Polish/Russian shops should have sour cherries.

Maybe they are available in Japan?
