Hi, I was at Rascal's brewery today and they were collecting fresh healthy Belgian Wit yeast from a fermentor. They kindly offered me some to bring to the meet tomorrow for anyone who is interested. If you want some let me know and I'll fill a vile for you..

Do you have a good recipe you can share? Wit just jumped to top of my brew schedule now.. Probably order grains tomorrow..

Sorry, I have to pull out, the Missus kindly informed me of a school meeting I forgot about.

Partridge,  Can you bring my corny and give it to R@H please?


nigel_c

I'll take some yeast please.
I'll have a look through my yeast and see what I have spare. Have been growing and tidying up my yeast bank so have some spares.

Pat_buttercups

ill take a bit of that yeast if theres any spare

mcgrath

I have 2 X 500ml bottles of yeast. It has settled etc since but I'll pop it in some vials and bring along for whoever posts here.
Thats  nigel, buttercups and James so far.

@ Jacob.. We could ask if Rascals would supply some yeast from their next batch. No harm in asking.. If they have excess and schedules match, it might be possible.

Fun night again lads. Some great beers and ciders.
I'd happily have Jacobs summer ale represents us in the summer competition.
I'll start coming up with a recipe for the quad and hopefully post by the weekend.

Will_D

Must kick the minutes secretary up the backside!

Sorry for delay!

Great night as usual and some imprtant discussions:

1: Still need to finalise the cask recipe and ingredients. James has LME/DME but what about Candy?

2: A quick show of hands showed about 8 people entering our "ICBINL" Cat 6 comp. About 3 entering the summer beers and about the same entering the Wicklow one. Reminder: Have you seen the prizes they are offering in Wicklow? Seriously worth winning

3: R@H is sorting out date for the Bru tour/bbq

4: Still need to talk to Boro re: a brew day

5: Hops given out and sugestion is to do a Smash beer - not a comp just focused brewing
     I have popped the rest of the hops in the club freezer - ideas about what to do with them?

6: Reminder about maker fair!

TCF: 139!

Remember: The Nationals are just round the corner - time to get brewing
