Is it too late to join in ? When are people brewing ? I have an interesting situation in that I need to be out of my house in six weeks..so if I could get this on in the near future, and ready for shipping somewhere in six weeks, that'd be great...

What recepie are people using ? I've loads of hops that have been in the freezer for a few months...suitable ?

[Will_D]

So I am bringing the Pilsner for Pat and Mark to the 44 meet on the 14th. Any word on the wheat?

[nigel_c]

I'm still waiting for suppliers to get backup me. I'll pester them some more.

[nigel_c]

Right I ordered 25kg of Torrified Wheat. Should be delivered Wednesday so ill bag it and tag it.
We can arrange distribution tomorrow over a pint.

[Will_D]

A very sound idea Nigel

[bigvalen]

Gah. I couldn't make it out to pints on Tuesday, and I'd intended making my batch tomorrow. Could I call over & buy a some wheat off you ? (I think I have everything else).

[nigel_c]

We are still waiting on delivery of the wheat.

[nigel_c]

Right, after a few delays I got the wheat today.
We're getting there.

[Jacob]

Yuppi Let's brew!

[nigel_c]

Have the fun part of breaking it down into 1.5kg bags first. Picked up some bags in work so gives me something to do over the weekends
I'm building up some wlp500 as well in case we are short.

[Will_D]

Great So!

[For a Welsh git the Cork accent is getting better So]

If you want me to pickup and transport to Fowlers for Tuesday - just let me know

[Will_D]

We really need to step up the pace on this!

We met in Fowlers tonight and divi'ed up the Sugar puffs (aka Terrified Wheat) to those there. Big thanks to Nigel for sorting this

Next meet for the cask ingredients is at the 44 on May 12th. See below for the updated list of who is still to collect.

Next Fowlers will be the 26th May and this really should be the last chance saloon to distribute ingredients as we need to get the brews on so we can re-cycle the cask.


So where are we?

Note the yeast is another matter. There is a "grow off" going on at the moment to select the best strain. Yeast will be available in 2 weeks time (or so I am told)

So please make an effort to post up on the next 44 thread that you can come and pickup the grain!

[nigel_c]

After the sample of the sour last night I think I will put in an order for some fresh bugs. I'm building up some lacto for my own but it might just be easier to order a few vials of WHITE LABS WLP655 BELGIAN SOUR MIX for the barrel to be sure.

[Boycott]

Will you be making any trip to the city over the next few weeks then nigel?

[Jacob]

Not so sure about making a starter from the sour mix. Think that we should order few of those and put them into cask.
