Rebellious Lambic - AKA Old English October Beer...

[LordEoin]

i have 97 camden tablets and 150g citric acid

[johnrm]

I need to hook up with the lads in the Mad Monk.
I haven't had a chance yet, with the Comp and cooking the results.

Has everyone got what the need in terms of grain and Yeast?
I came away with 2 vials of Yeast on Saturday.
They look like they're going to explode.

Please post here anyone missing stuff.
I had baggies of Amber malt in with the Hops.

@Billy did you distribute the Hops/Malt?
Also, How much is owed for the Hops? (I need to fix up for the valve too.)

[Garry]

I need amber! Forgot to order it :X I've booked Saturday off so I could brew then.

[Taf]

I distributed the hops and some malt, but maybe not everyone got sorted? I actually left the bag with all my bits in the Well, and forgot to pick them up when I popped back in Sunday.

I will ask Jason to check that they are there, and anyone who still needs them, can collect directly from the Well maybe.

I got hops, amber and yeast on Saturday, thanks to Taf, John and Andrew for those!

Put the first step of the yeast starter on last night. Had no DME so had to do a mini mash with some leftover Maris Otter to get wort, PITA!

[mr hoppy]

That yeast was at high krausen when  I gave it out so it might be an idea to loosen the top.

I'd try to step it up to 500ml and then 2l.

Oxygenation or some sort of serious aeration might be an idea when pitching - or you might use the old olive oil trick.

If anyone is short I've plenty to spare.

Any info on the status of the barrel?

[donnchadhc]

Oops, I stepped it straight into a 1.75 L. Hope it doesn't crap out, smelt lovely and clean though.

[johnrm]

One more time...

Is anyone missing Yeast? I have an extra Vial.

This happens Saturday.

[donnchadhc]

Has anyone got 200g odd of DME  spare? I need some to do a second step up

[Eoin]

I have but you're down Cork right?

Sent from my HTC One

[donnchadhc]

Yea, sleep in cork, work in Clonmel!

[Garry]

The barrel is settling in nicely 

[johnrm]

Looks good, but week those twigs hold the  weight?

[LordEoin]

I'd be more worried about the nails holding the 'twigs' together

[Garry]

It's only creaking a little bit. Look at the barrel's face, does it look worried?

(i used 5mm screws, not nails, nails aren't worth a f...)
