I thought that I would put a post on a home brewer's group on facebook about our next meeting. Might get one or two more people interested.

There are definitely a lot of brewers in our area, there are 3 shops between Gosford and Toukley..

 

[n87]

A week out.
@gone brewing have you got any bites from the Facebook group?

2-5

 

[trq]

Pretty keen to come along but probably couldn't get there until around 2:45 (wife works, have small boy).

Just bring a few bottles of beer? (I'm only on my 2nd biab so don't expect anything exciting).

 

[trq]

Oh, and if arriving a little late is ok, then count me in.

Turning up late is still turning up
I think I live near you, so if it was a lift you needed, we could work something out.

And yeah, a couple of your beers you either want to show off, or want to ask questions about.
I brought my first ag beer to my first meet, great place to start.

 

[Mikeyr]

Bugger, didn't get the email again, probably in, just need to check a couple of things. M

 

[gone brewing]

Update from the facebook post - there was a bit of interest and a few people got tagged in it but no-one has contacted me about it. I guess it might lead to a new member or two further down the track.

 

[mr_wibble]

Ok, I will be coming too. I do have a bit of a cold though.

I will bring my new & shiny grain mill, and some pale malt to play with.
Maybe someone who has used one before, can give us a bit of demo on how to use it.

Also, a Swiss guy told me that Aldi sells bake-at-home bretzels that are pretty good, so I will endeavour to bring some of these (cooked).

In terms of homebrews, I will bring my Porter (3rd place in Staves Brewery Dark beer comp) and my Munich Dunkel (proper lager), which IMHO turned out pretty well.
