Really want a ris at home, so yes!
Fermenting: IPA, Lambic, Mead
Conditioning: Lambic, Cider, RIS, Ole Ale, Saison
On Tap: IPA, Helles, Best Bitter

An RIS sounds excellent

If this route for a barrel doesn't work out what are our other options?

nigel_c

RIS, foreign extra stout, brown ale, imperial red,big porter, Boltic porter, weizenbock, old ale, English barley wine. Anything big really.

Jacob

It might be difficult to keep lager temps. Would love a cask aged baltic porter but because of that will say yes to another RIS :)

nigel_c

If would be class alright. Age it outside over the winter next year under tarp.

Will_D

Defo!

Stout first then sour when barrel becomes sour all by itself (Just like NCB Cask #1)

So after tonights meeting we agreed:

We will buy the cask through Dempsey with James transfering the club funds required (approx €100)

We we will then collect the individual moneys from the above names as and when and refund the kitty.

Simon will lead on this (with James and Brian)

Talking of casks here's a nice bit from a US publication that I drunkenly signed up to one dark night the other week:

https://beerandbrewing.com/VrOmmyoAACoA8K0t/article/8-beers-to-brew-and-the-barrels-to-age-them-in?mc_cid=baea4f2924&mc_eid=2a3546da7a

Btw: It s a pretty good magazine, with pdf version as well. I used a beersmith discount code!

DEMPSEY

I have a contact number for the barrels and will be chasing 1 or maybe 2. Do you want me to ask about 1 for ye.

Will_D

Yes please Brian, as above James will sort the money asap from NCB funds and Simon is the delivery point.

DEMPSEY

The man has 120 Liter whiskey barrels and 225 Liter wine barrels. Imark and I are going to inspect them tomorrow. :)

Pheeel

Just my opinion (and depends on price) but I'd prefer the whiskey rather than the wine, even if we have to buy two. I've not met a beer condition in a wine barrel that was better than a whiskey one 😊
Issues with your membership? PM me!

So as above and talking to Brian (Dempsey):

The Whisky barrels are Laphrohaig (V. Nice single malts) with bungs.

Yes they are only 120 litres but that may be a good thing. 6 people should be able to fill one.

Also if we buy two some of us will double up.

Also: If we don't get enough people to pay for 2 barrels (90+vat) I would suggest the NCB kitty pays the difference and then can rent out the barrel fills to those who didn'y buy.

Or You can buy 2 shares!

There are lots but we would all like toi get this moving.

What thinks ye all??

Above posts show that 13 peeps are in for this  :)
However 90+vat * 2 = €221

221 / 13 = €17

Are we all happy to go?
