Dublin Mini Maker Faire 2014 - July 26th

[Shane Phelan]

Are we giving out beer at the stand this year?

[Partridge9]

Maker Fair ?

I dont think we can do that. Its just a demo stand.

Was hoping to demo all the gadgets and gismos that we make for homebrewing.

We did a homebrew demo as well last year... not sure if we need to do that this year but I have ordered all  electrics just in case we want to do that.

Once we  have all the volunteers organised - we can see what gear they would like to bring along.

Last year there was a lot going on, so glad we are part of it this year as well.

[Damien M]

I have the demo stuff. Kilner jars of grain etc. I have them since AllTech

[Partridge9]

Great stuff, I'll nab em off ya nearer the time.

[Partridge9]

Just a quick update, our application for a stand at this event has been accepted.

Any ideas of cool brewing  projects we could demonstrate
Keep in mind size of the event etc...

[johnrm]

Battery drill and malt mill?
Have you electricity? Put on a small AG batch on an induction hob.

[Will_D]

Arduino/BrewPi/STC-1000+ projects??

[GrahamR]

What about a small extract brew, 1 gallon maybe in a 3 litre pot with an empty 5 ltr water bottle as fermenter, show how little equipment you really need to make your own beer

[johnrm]

...on a gas rig?

[Partridge9]

Yeap I have asked for two 13 amp sockets off a 15 amp breaker.

I like all those ideas, certainly the small extract makes a lot of sense, and after seeing will d arduino's setup last night, that's gotta be on the demo !!

Great stuff

We could also add,

home made stir plate, I have a number of fans spare as well.

[Partridge9]

Ok - the maker fair lads have been in touch. Its all shaping up nicely.

If you feel you could be around for even an hour on the day - please feel free to put your name beside the demo.

The theme is - homemade projects for homebrew.

It would be great if we had 8 or 9 things on demo throughout the day.
oh - you'll get free sandwiches !  - preks of the job   

We will have a number of sockets (no arc-welding please!!)

Projects and person willing to Demo it!

Guys - this is coming up in a couple of weeks - Saturday 26th July

any chance people could confirm they are good to go ??

Just want to get an idea of the numbers - even if you are just floating - let me know.

We need about 4 people there between 12 - 3 to make this work well.

[Saruman (Reuben Gray)]

In case anyone didn't see it. Remember that video that was shot last year? Well, they compressed it down to about 3 minutes. We are at 1:20ish

Would love to be there but it clashes with the Beoir AGM in Kilkenny.

[beerfly]

[Shane Phelan]
