I've PMed you all the directions to my house.  Any problems, send me a PM. 
I'll also send you all my phone number in case you get lost but it's quite straight forward.
Incidentally, are ye doing some car sharing?

I drive way to fast to worry about cholesterol

I'd prefer early afternoon.

Im around  Friday so I'm sure i can get it over to you. PM me you address. ( again, really need to save these things) and we can arrange a drop off time.

ColMack

Will_D, can you bring some decent sized syphon tubing to speed up the transfer?  All mine is too small. 
Also, James you mentioned that you might bring a pump, I think that would make life very easy for us. 
This would allow me do less work and drink more beer!  Looks like it's going to be another hot one on Saturday, need to stay hydrated!

Good News - Collected the pump last night

I have some very long (4-5 meters) tubing with the pump - so we are good to go.

What I was thinking - was to make 5 litres of star san and pump that round the pump / pipes for 10 minutes - a CIP (Clean in Place) effort.

Do you have CO2 ? Probably a good idea to flush the barrel

I need to get up early - have to be home by four - so I might leave the pump with you and you can return it to me Tuesday at the meetup.

Looking forward to it !


ColMack

Yes I have some CO2 left in my cylinder (not sure how much - though it's reading much higher now with the warm weather).  I've a full cylinder of mixed gas 50/50. so if anyone has a regulator for it we could use that either? 
I have starsan too, was planning on making up 10 - 20L of the stuff for general sanitising anyway.

Partridge9

Thats Grand - I dont think you will need too much to flush the barrel - Just enough to cover the bottom (as Co2 is heavier than air) and prevent the beer touching too much air.

Looking forward to it.

Will_D

I will bring my syphon, plus a mixed gas reg, Oh and the cask and a few brews!!

Now what about some food?

We should aim to coordinate some snacks!

Can't believe thi sis only 28 hours away or so!

Hi I am planning on leaving Swords around 12.30 or 01.00 if anyone would like a lift.
I would be more than happy to oblige.
