Discussion: First cut of the National Homebrew Fest beer menu

[imark]

Well you've sold them to me!

[irish_goat]

That's a better selection than a lot of craft beer bars would have!

[delzep]

How much of each beer will be available? Do NHC members get larger samples as a perk?

[brenmurph]

Do ya still want my 1962 harp lager brewed with fresh hops and 99.999% fresh Irish ingredients?

Cork MCI lager malt,
decoction / caramelisation
kildare fresh hallertauer
Kildare fresh Saaz
and kildare  TLC

?

[Hop Bomb]

Maybe another four.

Andrews gold medal Black IPA is fermenting right now.

[brenmurph]

Nothing like fresh irish ingredients

Roast barley from Athy, Whole unprocessed oats from Athy, Barley from Ellistown, Kildare, Malt from Cork, Hops from my polytunnel (saaz, hallertauer, hersbruker, target, and saphir), Top Class organic Corn / maize as per pictures from my garden,  The Fresh beetroot ale from my garden ye can taste at Lucan and a lot of effort to make the freshest, most local, unique and environmentally friendly beer on the planet

beetroot ale below....

The cornflakes were a handful in a 40000 gram Harp lager wort and the yeast was 11 gram so not  100% Irish but is anything?  100% Irish chicken? Fed with Kerry foods chicken feed shipped in from Mexico?

Small typo in Enda's Frambtastic write-up:
"It's a yeast which has been developed to include contains yeast and bacteria cultures used "

Didn't spot any other typos.

Rossa's description sounds like hes a pro brewer... might want to emphasise the "home" a bit more.
Looks good though!! a good read like - makes it interesting

[St. Fursey]

That's what happens when you try to do the write-up when youre supposed to be working!
The word "contains" needs to come out; thanks Eanna

Unfortunately I didn't have time. I'm not around for the next week and I needed to get it into the secondary so I could add the raspberries.
