Brew Quantity and When

[ColMack]

Is it a standard US bourbon barrel?  190-200L?  I've just been doing some googling.

If we have 187 and each of us loses 1-2L in trub/miscalculations etc. we might end up with about 175ish.

Do we need a volunteer to do another 20L to be safe?

[Ciderhead]

Yes you do and also to top up over 6-12 months

As I mentioned earlier I am doing a Brown Porter next.

That would be available.

I am out of Stout specialities at the moment.

At worst on the day we could just knock up a kit.

I like the idea of keeping a gentle sloooow fermentation going for at least the first 3 or 4 months

Any ideas - anyone wnats to become number 9 in the project?

Lads, any of ye brew with a 32L mash tun?  Any trouble with it or is it ok?  Partridge Im using your old set up...Im half thinking of just mashing twice.

[Cahalbrua]

I used the 33L mash tun from HBC maxed it out with 9kg grain bill, and it did the job.

Hi lads,

I'm back from holidays which was the reason I didn't commit to the brew in the first place. But if you're short beer I was planning a brew this weekend... What do you reckon? Won't have all the ingredients to hand though....

Good Man Colm!
I say go for it.  If you can brew something in the ball park, that would be great.
I have a few bits left over that I could donate to the cause. 
What you really need to hand I think is some DME to help make sure you increase the OG.
Tell us what you're short of and maybe we could all chip in?

[nigel_c]

Have a fair amount of toasted , crystal and choc malt if your short.

[Cahalbrua]

What grains are you short colm.
