What she did not give you is  the pitching amount for this yeast. Do not underpitch 

I take it two packs will do the trick

Or even 3

Liffey brewer's for the cup next year. 

Just make sure all the scores are double checked

Put the recipe into beer smith and it will tell you how much yeast is needed

Cheers for all the kind words on the day and on here. Makes it all worth while. I'll get the slides from the speakers etc put up on here tomorrow too.

Again, massive thanks to Hingo, James, Brian, Anil, Dean, Peter and John for all the work put in behind the scenes.

That was a great day out. Plenty of tips and ideas to pick up on for the future from the speakers during the day. I think the highlight was actually the club night, it was a brilliant opportunity to meet a few homebrewers outside of our own circles and to taste some cracking brews. Looking forward to next year!

What club is going to do a side by side, Narziss vs Traditional?

Thanks to all involved, was a great first Brewcon for me. Brandon in particular was brilliant I thought. Could tell he was incredibly passionate and spoke very well. The neighbours will be wondering where all the mason jars are coming from!

Thanks also to yourself Tom, and all the lads mentioned there above.

I was unable to make the whole day, but bypassed the stringent security and made it into the Club Night.

Did anyone take a picture of Brandon's second slide on yeast wrangling. I have the first slide where he showed with the cheesecloth etc.

Is it any of these you're after? Not the best quality as I was at a bad angle but have a look

[armedcor]

Those are the ones! Cheers dude.

They'll have to have a look at getting more heavies in next year for the door

Good idea, but due to interbrewer and interbatch variance, I think the right way to do the comparison is to split a batch of wort. Unfortunately that means they'll be ready at different times...!

I made the Marzen that was on tap using a fast lager method. I brought it to Jasmin and she couldn't find any fermentation or conditioning flaws, which was interesting. That said, she did pick out a number of deviations from the typical German recipe, but that's fair enough. I wasn't really making a purely German beer.
