Are we planning on throwing in a range of different bugs.
I have some brett lambicus wlp653 i could build up.

That's what I was thinking.

No real plans to be in town any time soon. Why you ask?

Lets consider "Terroir"

According the never wrong Wikipedia: "Terroir can be very loosely translated as 'a sense of place,' "

So as the foremost brewing club in the NHC we certainly have a PLACE. Therefore we need our own, carefully guarded, soon to be patented, domain registered, Site of Special Scientific Interest, and all the rest!: 

"NCB Bug Strain"

Lads - I have that yeast - about 2litres of it, ready to rock

It takes 24 - 36 hours to go from 200ml to 2000ml

so if you give me a couple of days notice I can have a very healthy 2l starter ready for ya.

I can all the ones above - no worries at all.

Sorry - but Im swamped until Sunday!!

Fermenting: IPA, Lambic, Mead

I was putting in an order today with THBC so added some nice fresh bugs to my order. We should be starting to brew next week hopefully. We can talk dates on Tuesday.

Yeah I'm going to do my brew the weekend once I get the bits and bobs, as I'm out of the country for the second half of June. Need to get it brewed and given to mr. cask. man early :)

I have 3 vials of WLP500 ready.

Add it to 2 litres of starter (2 liters of water and 200g DME), at around 22C.

Do this 48 hours before brewday.

Ok I have 12 tubes filled out. They will require starters but are looking nice and healthy.

Great! No prob with yeast supply then :D

Anyone who got yeast of me last night should get it into a starter ASAP.
It was stretched a bit further then I was expecting to get yeast for everyone.
Try get it I to a 500 ml starter and then into a 1.5L in a few days if you can.
