New Year, New Venue - Jan/Feb Meet

[sub82]

Normally 8pm is about right. Everyone's generally there around that time and then it's just however long it takes for everyone to get a beer and a seat!

[Bazza]

Just off the phone confirming with Spoons.

We'll be upstairs in the training room (same room as CAMRA use for their meetings). Just ask a member of staff to point you in the right direction.

We'll see how it works out in the room versus a more open environment.

As for who's going, I'll set the ball rolling here:

1) Bazza


Cheers,

-Barry

P.s. Alan, will you have a chance to talk to your mates at Nature's Way about the meet?

Great idea. I'm sure there'll be enough collective experience there to get you well on your way.

Nice one Will. Everyone's welcome, laden with bottles or not.

TBH, since I've moved to exclusively kegging, my bottle reserves have all but diminished. I got a Blichmann beer gun at Christmas for such occasions as tomorrow, but haven't had a chance to try it out yet. Also, all but one of my kegs got depleted over Christmas. Been brewing like a bugger last couple of weeks but nothing's ready.

Cheers,

Should make it down with a bottle or two of black IPA in the bag.

Hmm... in light of this,  how's our numbers looking for Spoons?

[Ciaran]

Won't be missing the weird beard night, but still about tomorrow.  As is Shane I think.

[Quiet_Man]

I'll be at Spoons, meeting some real brewers! Heh, heh.

Haven't been doing much. Have a Coffee Porter to bring along. Poor imitation of Ciaran' s.

Hah. No worries. I just got this fear that I'd be sitting there alone in a large room explaining to the Spoons staff 'There's normally more than just me comes to these things'. Having said that, I be interested in finally making it to at one of those meet the brewer nights. Criminal that I didn't make the 10-minute walk down to the Errigle last Friday

Interesting. Porter's next on my list to brew and have a few questions, especially around how much and when to add the coffee, e.g is it enough to just bung in a couple of shots of espresso after initial fermentation.

Some good topics for discussion tonight.

I'll be there this evening and will bring along 2 bottles of my Best Bitter (TT clone). Will also bring along a few Corny keg bits and pieces and off course a couple of plastic jugs!   Don't forget the bottle opener!!!
Heard on the grapevine ( pun intended!) that House of Homebrew is setting up their own Brew Club and are plannnig monthly meets...not just for beer but wine, kits and the like.
