I'm sorry I couldn't make it lads! It looks like ye had a fun evening anyway! Glad that the job is mostly done!

Couple of pics from last night.




Item of note after filling two barrels at this point, kegs are the way to go, much faster process!

Sorry I couldn't stay till the end lads-how far off the mark are we do ya reckon?

[Shane Phelan]

I would say between 40 and 60L off, the beer was still with a good bit down after putting in Joey's beer.

So whats the story with the extra brews?  Shane was saying that there might be one done at the TOG? Will that cover it?  I might be able to get one on in a few weeks if it needs a top up or something?

Jules has moved to athlone but will be back to host us on brewdays!

I'll probably add my entry to the barrel as well on Sunday during the brewday, if you can make it along with yours?

Hey, I was just wondering when we should bottle this big boy?
Do we want to be drinking it for xmas?
Would it need a few months to bottle condition as its such a big beer?

Also I think we should refill it with the next beer as soon as we empty it so it doesn't dry out. If so we would want to be thinking of recipes.
