JBK member meeting.......bring a sample! 28/01/2011

[jubby]

Another meeting for JBK members.........or non members, in fact anyone that makes beer, or wants to learn to make beer, or drinks beer................anyone really!

Cambridge on Friday 28th 8pm in the Cambridge Blue; http://www.the-cambridgeblue.co.uk/ PM going out to the regulars, but all are more than welcome.

Special guest appearance from Steve & Francis (tequila6) and maybe even Damian (audley), formerly Cambridge members, now dithering about in Europe somewhere

I will be taking a small sample of my Mr Nick's imperial IPA, brewed to 250 IBU at 7% with 1/2 kilo Styrian Goldings in 25 litres aged for 11 months. This will be tasted towards the end of the evening, as it will destroy your taste buds

If you can make it, let us know what you're bringing to sample. If you haven't got anything to sample.............get em in

Excellent - I've been looking forward to one of your old IPAs. Let's hope we all stay away from the lurgy until then!
Cheers,
ML.

WooHoo,

Sorry for the tardy response, but Internet in France is a bitch.

Now in March and internet access is again available and I am ready to meet at the Cambridge Blue as requested.

It will be great to see everyone again even though I don't have any home brew myself. However I have managed to put by a Portuguese "Superbock Stout" for you guy to try. It was the nearest thing to decent beer I found out there.

Supping Oakham Inferno in four pint take outs from the local pub until then.

See you all soon

Now in March

Make sure you stick to the paths and don't speak to any strangers

Very nice.

The Portuguese stout sounds interesting see you there.

[raiderman]

I should be able to make it. As for a sample I had all the kids back for christmas and my stock took a hammering. I had been saving a Golden Ale and if the kids didn't get it first I'll bring it!

[JabbA]

Fingers crossed I'll be there! Am looking forward to catching up with you guys again, and meeting you Raiderman.

Your Mr Nick's should be something special Jubby, I'll bring one of the two bottles I've got left- a bitter I brewed with Southwold yeast for a mate's crimbo pressie.

Hopefully I'll see you all there!

[OvenHiker]

Cheers jubby, I'll be there. I too will be bringing some murky mild! If anyone missed it first time around and is interested, I can also bring along another bottle of the Christmas beer?

[smp465]

Sounds like it could be a good night!

I'll bring my Citra beer along, if it's ready, and the Barnstormer clone i was meant to bring last time!

[JabbA]

I've just found out I've got to work Saturday Hopefully I can be restrained enough and not have too bad a head in the morning

Cheers,
Jamie

[cooldad]

Was coming but something has cropped up this afternoon and wont be back in time to make it.

[JabbA]

Cheers guys for another great night talking homebrew nonsense ! I'm constantly blown away by the quality of your brews and hope to come somewhere close eventually!!! Good to meet you Duncan and look forward to seeing you next time.

Cheers from the bus,
Jamie

Coconut beer out of a coconut shell, I agree..........it was all wrong! Obviously spent too much time in Europe

Thanks for the porter recipe Shane, that was an outstanding drop of beer

[DrewBrews]

Indeed it was a great beer. Thanks for the recipe Shane.

What does the Carafa III do ? is there any reason to add that and black malt?
