Brewshare Night In Sydney & Melbourne

[mikem108]

Josh, you can usually get a spot on South Dowling at that time but many are only one hour, otherwise in Surry Hills and walk up.

Don't know if I will make it in time, am still down the coast(was at the Wig and Pen last night,mmmmm) and haven't even bottled my beer yet, really bummed I screwed up my timing

bus lane starts from 7pm and we're meant to be there before then.

I'll probably be late then. I thought it was 7.30

 

[oztapguy]

Sorry I couldn't get up there tonight. Paul told me there was 31 peeps which is even more than last time and that having it downstairs was much better. There's plenty of room to grow in that space.

Congrats to John for winning the voucher!

I'd love to hear how you guys thought it went and any more feedback you may have.. I'd certainly love to wrap up formalities by 9.30pm at the latest in future so people can socialise before having to go home.

BIG thank-you to the taphouse and to Dave's Home brew for their continued support of this great event - the pizzas were great and the beers superb. Thanks also to everyone for the votes - very unexpected especially when I was up against such fantastic beers.

I'll be posting my recipe for anyone who is interested later in the week.

Looking forward to trying everyones stouts and porters in three months time!


Cheers,

Jonny.

ow my head.
The 2 tasting paddles beforehand were very nice, but not a good move.
Great beers everyone, and congrats to John!

It was a great night, Im very glad I made the effort to get out and finaly meet up with some fellow brewers. Already looking forward to the next one Quite a good choice for the next style too as I have an American Stout in the fermenter right now :icon_cheers:
Thanks to everyone sharing their beers and well done John.

Dave suggests that we have a couple of timers and run it more along the lines of speed dating! Divide 2 hours by the number of beers on each group and that will give them a set amount of time for each beer with the timer sounding at the end of each beer to hurry people up. This would have the main body of the tasting finished around 9pm leaving 30 minutes for the final swap and counting of votes. If all goes to plan we should be finished by 9.30 and we can let the public in. I love this idea. What d you think?

I think this is a good idea - also leaves more time at the end for mingling and trying the beers from the other group.

Must say very well done Jonny and thanks once again to Josh for transporting my beers.

Also well done on the 3 million point turn Jonny, cant work out how that car got into the spot so close behind you.

I am glad I caught you and managed to get a lift, discovered this morning I had left my wallet in the centre console of my car when I got dropped off. Would have been a long walk home from central.

Trying to find out what the style for May 5 in St Kilda is, but can't seem to find out what it is. Is this still going ahead?

We will do the same style as Darlo so it will be Stouts/Porters. A few Open Class beers (judged separately) will also be accepted so get these applications in early.

Where did you get May 5 from? Was it me?!

There's a link nearly halfway down on the left hand side to book for St Kilda Brewshare May 5th.

It so happens I have a cube of stout waiting to be fermented, so I think I'll be along.

 

[Bizier]

Hey all, good show on Tues in Darlo, and some great beers. Did anyone happen to notice a hand-held Genuine Innovation gas dispenser (soda bulb thing) connected to a grey gas ball lock disconnect somewhere on the night? I came home and noticed that I had left this behind.

 

[oztapguy]

The date set for our next Brewshare in St Kilda is Tuesday May 5th and Darlo Tuesday 18th May. You have heaps of time so get brewing!

We are hoping Melbourne homebrewers come out in force to secure the future of the event there. Come on Melbourne!

The chosen style is Stouts/Porters. A few Open Class beers (judged separately) will also be accepted so get these applications in early.

The button to book will be posted on our blog soon and you will have to fill in the questionnaire to submit yout beer.

I'd definitely go to the Melbourne brewshare but I'm moving to Sydney in March, so will hopefully see at the Darlo brewshare!

 

[BrenosBrews]

The date is in the brew diary.

 

[Doc]

Looking forward to the next one already.
As always it is going to be difficult to decide which beer to bring, but this time it will be on style.

[Josh]

Had a great time on Tuesday night. Thanks to the Taphouse and Dave's Homebrew for supporting the homebrewing community.

I'll brew a Stout for the next event in Darlo. That'll be about 10 days before we fly to the USA so I might have to book myself in for a farewell drink that night.

 

[oztapguy]

Darlo and St Kilda BrewSharers asked me to remind them so:

How are the brews (Porters/Stouts or whatever you choose) coming along for the May BrewShare??!
