We meeting this month?

Dr Horrible

I hope so!  I suppose we're talking either the 20/21st or the 27/28th, I've no preference myself.

johnrm

I'm flexible at this point, Friday's are better.

mr hoppy

I'm flexible as well.

Dr Horrible

So we're looking at the 20th or the 27th then?  If we did the 20th would that be soon enough to do the small beers thing as well?

johnrm

Yep, let's go for the small beers on the 20th.

Hopefully will make this one.  Been busy since the start of the year so trying to get things balanced (ie. a bit of brewing) again. I kept just a bit more than a litre of the barrel brew, put it on some oak for around a weeek and bottled a couple of bottles.  Tried some tonight. Very tasty - a nice complex taste, a bit peppery, vanillay, mallty. Not sure what its supposed to taste like, but to me, its tasting good. Needs some aging but will bring along for tasting.
drinking - Brown porters (plain/oak aged/vanilla)
conditioning - American Amber (Jamil's evil twin)
Fermenting - air

mr hoppy

Where? And who's bringing the BJCP compliant score sheets?

johnrm

Will we see about upstairs in the Well?

mr hoppy

Sounds good - I've a scoresheet from last year's summer comp - can knock something up if that's useful?

Taf

Should be able to pop in for a while on Friday.

BrewCity

So what's the story with the small beers comp? Is this the one that has to be BJCP Category 6?
I only have IPA, as usual.  ::)

johnrm

It just had to be sub 4% and 'Summery'. Dilute Jameson should be fine...

Taf

Has anyone booked a table at the Well yet? With the good weather and world cup matches the place will probably be jammers on Friday, so really need to let them know we are planning on coming in.

I can contact them if nobody else has already done so.
