Righto -
one of the next things I reckon we should do is to pick a brew - something suitable for the Ballarat winter - formulate/find a basic recipe and then all brew it BUT brew it with our own personal tweaks to suit our systems and personal preferences.
For e.g. we might choose a basic stout but I might use some English crystal, someone else might ferment with us05, someone might use oats etc etc.
OR we could pick a definite/specific recipe and all try and brew it blow for blow and then sample the differences?
Thoughts/ideas? My place is fine for hosting but my shed has no power and inside is not big enough for a brew day, so I thought something like this might be cool.
The idea is that we would be drinking it in Aug/Sep which gves us a bit of time to choose a style and/or recipe, brew it and bottle it. For you keggers that may need a few longnecks: ask and ye shall receive, I have more than I'll ever need. We only need to bring a few longnecks each for the day to be worthwhile...
(I'm more than happy to have this somewhere else, just thought I'd float the idea...)... :icon_chickcheers:
