Tomorrow is the 9th !!

So far 3 people have committed to the 9th:

1. Will_D  march 9
2. McGrath march 9
3. Shiny march 9 (Will have to leave after lunch)

I sugest tomorrow is postponed and we try and get organised as to when we are going to fill.

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

Uh oh, time won't kill us.
Can somebody advise what's the status if the barrel, is it mouldy yet, it has water and a steriliser in it?
How are we getting it in, I want to go carboy and use drums and siphon all flushed with shed loads of co2. That will allow me use all I brewed.



Shane Phelan

Barrel is currently full to the neck with water, probably a bit of yeast and some whiskey/oak flavours.

Last time we filled the barrel we hooked a siphon up to a solar pump and that worked perfectly. We didn't purge the barrel though so it might be worth doing that this time around.

Do you reckon it would be ok
Nothing nasty growing on the water?
I'm happy to flush 10 quids worth of co2 into it on the day we fill it

Shane Phelan

The only way to be sure would be to get a couple of plates done for the water in it. If Jules gets back to Ronan about whether he is around or not this weekend I could pop over and get a water sample.

CARA

Just a note, I haven't been paid for the barrel so I suggest people donate the cost to TOG. Good luck with the fill!

So just to be clear:

We are not filling tomorrow.

Did anybody figure out the status of the Barrel? Is it healthy or fit for purpose? And CO2 isn't really going to sanitize
