Members' meetings, Beer Festivals and the like - bung it on here. Old topics will be pruned after 3 months.

27th would be best for me.
I'm away 13th and back 20th.....but the 20th would be tight for me.
Whatever you decide, I will still do the pin and drop it beforehand :)

Either as it stands, and I'd much rather brew a beer for a 7% IPA category, as you're saying, than have to stick to UK or US hops. :D

Haha, I'm just bitter that I recently followed a Lagunitas 'recipe' and ended up with 20L of a very pleasant, but distinctly English tasting IPA, full of US hops that would not fit into any category! :roll:

I'm happy whatever, really. Will brew something to fit (hopefully)! :D

You'd be surprised what you can do with some of the less than hip American hops when blended with about 30-40% of a very Hip Hop!

So in the absense of many more comments and a couple of email from NCB people... Saturday 20th August 2016.

I realise oneof you said that it may be tight for you, but at least its away from the Bank Holiday that people may struggle with.

That works for me :)

Do you have a list of people who are providing beer for your bar?

Fab :)
What are you going to brew Armchair and what are you going to put on pdtnc?
Would be good to have a bit of variety on the bar.
I quite fancy doing an APA or an English pale ale with a lesser known/used hop.

No stronger than 6%, preferably something starting in the easy drinking range, and a range of colours...
If the brewer can fill a 9g Firkin that would be handy vs a Bag-in-Box, I think we had 9 handpulls (Boxes) and a keg when we did this at Saltaire whereas we need to fill 4 handpulls on the Wishbone bar.

I've just had a confirmation from Crisp Malt who are happy to come along and do a presentation / chat, unsure if Rob from Lallemand yeast can confirm so if not I will maybe try work on someone else to throw into the mix.

I will do a pale beer around 5 to 5.5% ABV......if that's okay??

Sounding great. Not sure me getting a pin over on the train on the day would be an easy plan, otherwise would be happy to do one.

Do we just bring 3 (train-cloudy) bottles on the day for the comp?

I can only process 30 litres max at the moment, so I'm going to have to stick to the 20 litre box.
I use the Jigsaw ones......do you want me to bring the fitting to connect the tap to the beer line pdtnc??
