Venue: Tog, Chancery Lane, Dublin 8 (www.tog.ie)
Cost: Free (Donations will be accepted, by tog or the capital brewers)

Format:
Brewing -  All Grain, possibly Extract and a Kit
Beers - I'll be bringing a few of mine, hopefully others can bring theirs
Building - Has anyone got anything they might like to build during the event (ie a stir-plate perhaps)?

Kick off at 10:30 (finishes around 4.30 depending on the complexity of the brew's), see you there! If the weather is good that weekend we can plan out the logistics for a full barbecue for breakfast and lunch. We can see about that closer to the time.

Alright lads, I'm a new member here but long time homebrewer. Just wondering how this works? Do we bring all our own stuff? Is it multiple brews?

Shane Phelan

Hey! Welcome to the forum!
We normally agree here who is going to brew on the day. We have had two electric brews going simultaneously in TOG and there are two sets of newly installed outdoor double sockets. If I'm brewing I bring my own equipment as I know what to expect in terms of temperature drops and dead space. I have given a loan of the mashtun to some of the lads on more than one occasion as once the mash is done its free for others to use if they want.

Personally I try to get in early to get the water heated and mash on but up until now that hasn't suited many people that would have been on the beer the night before. We are trying a Saturday to address that.

You are more than welcome to come and brew! If there are unusual ingredients or equipment that you want to use its good to suggest it here and someone can bring it on the day such as water treatment stuff, oxygen, yeast, etc...

Haven't been to one of the days before so would like to just turn up to see how it goes.  If someone would like some assistance with an all grain that would be fantastic, I'll happily chip in for ingredients too.  Or just help with the BBQ  :)

Not sure I can bring equipment, but I can bring a mash kit if someone else has the equipment to brew it. I'll also be filming for the podcast.

Hi Paul you are welcome to come along, there might be a few TOG members there also. I won't be able to do all the things I listed out so I could definitely use a hand! Will bring a couple of beers with me for tasting also. If Ronan is at this one make sure to bring your water to have it tested for hardness.

Also, I may have left coupla bits there last time - stock pot lid and a wooden box with demijohn bungs / small Dial thermometer & for other bits in it. Anyone there since see them?

Shane Phelan

Hmmm, I was last to leave and I don't remember seeing any of those things. If they were left in TOG they will definitely still be there somewhere.

Found the box, never mind! The pot will turn up I'm sure, may have left it in ciarans car in the morning as never used it on the day. (Don't use it either way)

Oh I might do, just after getting a load of N.Sauvin inand thiking of making another punk like clone, except with my own minor alterations. WLP001 might be good, how long would it keep for?
