Isb Aug/sept Meeting

[barls]

so whens the next one?
will there be one before i go to the states at the end of sept?
i got some 1.5L bottles that were given to me that need drinking

 

[Edgecliff Brewer]

30 Aug or thereafter is good for me. Should we try some home smoked malt for a rauchbier or smoked mild?

 

[barls]

sounds good. hmmmmm home smoked

 

[Edgecliff Brewer]

Or maybe with the braggot we should do an amber. I dunno - too many choices - red ale, smoked porter, oatmeal stout, altbier, bock...

You guys have come so far since I first kicked off this club! - Not that anyone would remember me by now bwahaha.

How about a steinbeer, too short notice and needs some planning I know. We need to get the rocks and a stainless basket to hold them in,something to heat them with, but the Barls mega burner should be able to take care of that

 

[Edgecliff Brewer]

Having listened to Graham Sanders I understand that 300 gm stones drawn from stone quarried deep down so that there is no moisture, work best. Maybe a longer term project since we will have to manufacture a furnace.

the Barls mega burner

After it's maiden outing at my place, shouldn't that be the "Barls Concrete Cracker" ? Cause of that experience the rock choice would be important - no river rocks :excl: .

The State competition which Stu has been organising (with a bit of help occasionally from Trev & I) is being held on the 6th & 7th of Sept would be a good vehicle for the next meeting - 2 days of beers and beer talk - does it get any better?

edit: added comp info

 

[mikem108]

:icon_drool2: A marathon on beer evaluation is how I see it, can't wait. Need any help with the organising?

 

[DrewCarey82]

Not to bad actually thanks Steve, been back on the beers for a while. But still away from brewing.

Am considering comming back into it on a smallish scale, sort of miss my old American Pale Ales and Pils's ect.

 

[redbeard]

Your allowed to drink beers again Drew ?? If your not brewing, better update your sig

awwww come on guys it did the job didn't it????
besides i apologized didn't i????
could be fun though maybe after a few bottles of the braggot

 

[oldbugman]

I'm glad how the story has evolved and there is no mention of my meddling with kind words of encouragment to open the air intake.

 

[DJR]

6th and 7th Sept is probably no good for me as i have commitments for Fathers day that weekend. Maybe we could do the steinbeer thing one other weekend in Sept though?

I don't have any fermenter set up here at all but i'm sure i could twist my own arm with some creative cube input
