Hello NCDers. I took a very healthy root cutting from my colossal Fuggles plant a month or so ago, it had a pretty healthy shoot coming out of it which has just recommenced growing after a little shock from being separated from the mothership. I'd say if it goes in the ground now, this plant may even produce a bit this year. I will swap it for a decent bottle of something from our many fine craft offies! I'm posting here first out of love and patriotism for the north county! :D

Any body need some base malt(MO)?
I have extra crushed if anybody need some.
I drive way to fast to worry about cholesterol

With the next round of group buy malts coming up soon what do you guys think about getting a few specialty malts between us and breaking them down. Say 2.5 - 5kg batches. Might be an idea.

Did a big clear out of all by bottles tonight and have a fair few to spare is anyone wants any. Have a big box with mostly O'Hara's , paulaner and a few green flip tops. Anyone wants any let me know or they go to recycling.


mcgrath

I'd take the flip tops no problem. I have plenty of normal bottles. My cousin might need some though. I can ask him

mcgrath

Sorry for the late reply, my cousin has enough bottles and you've probably dumped them by now anyway..Haha!

Have just racked  my Belgian tripel into secondary so have some lovely fresh WLP 500. If anyone would like some brought along on Sunday give me a shout. Really is a great yeast.

Time to start building my yeast bank so please bring me some just to make few slants.

Ok I'm completely new to this lark but I've just ordered my equipment. First I'm gonna make a small batch of cider to use up the last of my homegrow apples, however the place I ordered my stuff from was out of Campden tablets. Seeing as I only need one or two anyway, is there anyone that could give me a few?! I'm located in Skerries!

Jacob

Campden tablets dosage depends on your juice ph, but usually it's 3 tablets per gallon.
How many you need?

Welcome to the group.

We will be holding our next meetup at the Old Boro in Swords at 7pm Jan 14th and you are more than welcome.
You don't need to bring any beers/ciders but if you have some then a couple of bottles will do nicely.

Keep your eyes on the about to be written "Next Meeting Jan 14th" thread.

Re: Campden tablets: There is the Health Food shop in the pavillions that has a small HB section - they should have them or Tescos may still have HB stuff.

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