At the moment I only attend the Chelmsford meetings at The Orange Tree. The best way to inspire others is to invite them to sample some of the tasters brought along for comment. Also there is a lot of brewing knowledge and advice on offer.

If Gurgeh spots these "Colchester posts" he'll probably try to drag you down to Chelmsford :lol: :wink:

Might even drag myself up the A12 for 4th October :shock:

I believe it's near the railway station, but one of the Colchester attendees will pick up on these posts and confirm.
Also click on the "Links" at the top of the page and follow the CBA links to the Shed brewers or click on the link on Gurgeh's signature.

Good luck :D

Yes that's the one, as Stonechat say's right next to North Station.

I'll be there so hope to see you both

Hi Steve, hope you have found time for a few brews since The Orange Tree. I'm delighted with the thermobox as a mash tun that you advised me to get. Thanks for that 8)
A great example of why it's worth going to CBA meetings and the beer tasters aren't bad either :D

Aye - walk out of the station towards the roundabout, turn left and walk towards East Bergholt. If you've been on Shank's Pony longer than 10 minutes you've missed.

Hi Mike, yep I managed to do a brew using Nethergate's yeast again, tried to go for a maltier beer, which I got, but could have done with a bit more bitterness to balance it out :( . Anyway I'll bring it along for some constructive criticism.

spotted it!

I'll be going to colchester 4/10. should have a couple or three brews off my new brewery to bring along...

good to meet some new faces there - I would ask that anyone intending to go gets in touch with Mike Rumsey, the colchester organiser, so that he can order you a lunch (£5 usually)

you'll find his e-mail on the shedbrewers site below.
