August meet

[n87]

Hi all,

As discussed at the last meeting, a brew meet is due soon.
Due to me being a masochist, I have decided to do dry July, so I would appreciate not having a meet during that month.
I will also likely be on puny human watch towards the end of August, at which point I need to be able to drive, so I would like it to be before then.

Which gives us:
Sunday 7th
Sat/Sun 13/14

I may be able to push the next weekend, but that will depend wholly on the universe and the plans of HIM.

Im happy to host again, happy to go somewhere else also

Both dates fine for me too.

All the dates are ok for me.

The 7th is good for me, working weekend of 13th.

My wifey is doing some baby shower thing. Is it possible to get a lift with anyone?

Im happy with anywhere, ill just need a lift

Hoping we have enough people from this end to be able to ask one supportive wife to drop us there and another to collect us....

Who else is going?

If we can't work travel arrangements I'm happy to host.

I'll have
1. Heady Topper Lite
2. Dutch Lager (grolsch clone)
3. Dark Mild (2.5%, and yummy so far)
4. Vienna Lager (maybe, it's fermenting now, might be a little young still)

 

[silvana]

I'm 90% confirmed
If I can make it I should be able to sort a lift one way but I can only fit 2.

I'll have

1 Diacetyl infused American pale ale (drink ice cold!!!)
2 Robust porter
3 Old skool IPA
4 5 month old Dark mild (for comparison)
5 ?? Something from the cellar

I have in my possession an enzyme that I think would be good to experiment with. It can reduce maturation time of lagers by up to 2-3 weeks.

It's called ALDC (http://www.murphyandson.co.uk/datasheets/Data-Sheets2/ALDC.pdf)

I have a brew fermenting with this enzyme chugging away nicely. Sampled the brew today at 5 days with no hint of diacetyl whatsoever.

Will bring a sample if anyone is keen on trying the enzyme in a brew.

Hey - I'm definitely interested - I'm brewing a Vienna right now for the castle hill comp, and because I'm not organised to have done it a month earlier, I'm using the Brewlosopher fast lager ferment method.

Started at 10c 11 days ago. Once it hit 50% attenuation (1.030) I started ramping up to 18C - it's at 13.5 right now. Should be up at 18 by the weekend.

You can try some at the next meet

 

[Peter80]

I am right to come along. Will have:
Nelson sav american wheat if i can figure out how to botle off my tap.
English brown (under carbed but might have a plan for that).

Can drive if needed. Will check if i can organise a lift. What times are we looking at?

 

[n87]

2-5 are the normal times

 

[gone brewing]

2-5 works for me.

Sorry guys I'm out..... very, very disappointed, have fun.
