Brew Demonstrations?

[pk.sax]

Wondering if any brewing demonstrations are scheduled for the September club meeting...

If not, any Brewers up for showing grain brewing ropes around the eastern/SE suburb areas/Closer to city? 3v, BIAB/newbie friendly?? (See, I'm gettig some of the darn acronyms now) Really interested in BIAB.

I'll bring along a few bottles of my first K&K so we have a good excuse to drink something better to drown the taste. If somebody is already planning one plz let me know, would be great to see one done first hand, I'll make sure to slow you down and ask too many unnecessary questions until mollified by spirit or knowledge :chug:

Cant help with a demo of BIAB, i did do it, so I can answer your questions to a spot..
I am not far away and brew on a very simple 3v system, most of my beers are ok. My friend Arthur brews on a herms and his beers are shit all the time.

Drop me a pm if you would like to come for a brew day with one or both of us one day!

tipping when Arthur reads this, he`ll poison me...






with more beer

Count me in guys. I cannot make the Saturday demos at G&G so this is a true treasure.

What is expected of me? I do not have any beers (apart from a stout- not brilliant!) ready as my latest batch will be bottled next Sat night. Do the attendees usually bring some of their stash to the demos? Do I bring something else? A sixer of something nice?

Thanks,

Reuven

You may bring a sixer of something nice , if you feel like it...been somewhere interesting ? got something new to share ? Bring that !

Hey Ferg,

Do you think someone would be game to try my kit brew that's NQR for some feedback?

 

[MeLoveBeer]

practical fool, I was talking to Chris Taylor at the last Melbourne Brewers meeting and he was considering running a brew day for beginners on a 3v system (think it was boronianewbrewer that was interested at the time); might be worth having a chat with him...

 

[HoppingMad]

Shame you guys missed the Melbourne Brewer Demo/Monster Brew a month back at Pete's Warehouse. Five rigs and a BIAB were going full steam.
Then Grain & Grape have just had a demo too. Where have you boys been?

Jokes aside Chris Taylor is one of the most talented guys you'll find with plenty of brew gongs to prove it - so if he's doing a demo that's a great place to start. His set-up uses an esky mash tun - but regardless of your middle vessel the principles are the same.

From memory Chris does one to two demos a year for new interested Melbourne Brewers. If you don't get across to him take up Brendo on his offer - an awesome setup he has (with a pump h34r: ), and plenty of good knowledge.

Cheers,

Hopper.

I was lucky enough to crack at a bottle of Chris's Russian Imperial Stout a couple of nights ago and it was a near religious experience; he is well worth learning from.

We're both gonna turn up at the westgate brew day this weekend and then we (I definitely) WILL turn up at the melbourne brewers meeting end of this month... I'll remember to ask around for Chris and Brendo and see if we can hop into a session

Where have you boys been?

drinking! where else

Practicalfool...if you would give up that vegie crap and toss back a nice steak and stout once in a while then maybe you wouldn't be mistaken for a straw.....plus it is all genetic......I couldn't possibly be so stout myself because of liquid carbs...could I?

I will definitely be there...and I'll bring PracticalFool along as well. It should read "PracticallyAFool" but it confused him way too much. The stout is really not judgeworthy (not to my taste) but I'll find something to bring.I am more into Chocolate or Oatmeal when it comes to stouts. American style excessively hoppy beers (Is hops snuff available anywhere??) are the go....my ambition.

I appreciate the help you are all giving. The Wellermann presentation was very interesting, and the demos. Great bunch of guys.
BTW do you ever have fem brewers? Haven't come across any yet.

Many thanks,

Reuven
