BTW, I'm digging the banana.

Re: Single Hop Tasting - Jan 19th
I'm still getting caught up on the forum from the holidays. I have been fighting back a cold that floored me. I am on the mend, but don't want to commit until I know its gone for good. I did brew the bramling cross and I'm not a huge fan so I would really like to trade some bottles for others brew, but I have it in a keg and have yet to get it into any bottles. Hopefully I will feel up to bottling after work later in the week.akr71 wrote:I'll see if I can get my beer down to HRM, but its doubtful I can make it. Best case scenario, I can make it for the beer swap, but not stick around for the tasting. I'll have a better idea soon.
Graham, did you brew a single hop beer? Are you headed to the tasting?

Re: Single Hop Tasting - Jan 19th
Bottled last night. Odd tasting, but I think if it's carbed and cool it could be OK. We shall see.
I am still going to brew another batch.
My math on the co2 splitter was off. I can handle 5 kegs.

Re: Single Hop Tasting - Jan 19th
Sounds good, though in reality we'd only need a ball and pinlock connection, don't think we'll be draining kegs so quickly we'll need them all hooked up simultaneously!GAM wrote:Bottled last night. Odd tasting, but I think if it's carbed and cool it could be OK. We shall see.

People bringing kegs should bring a thumb tap if they've got one.

Re: Single Hop Tasting - Jan 19th
Also, how people can you accommodate? Did you want to open this up to the full BN crew, or just the single hop guys plus a couple of others? Might be nice to invite folks who can't normally make it to the Tues evening meetings.

Re: Single Hop Tasting - Jan 19th
I can't make it, but I would still love to swap if folks are willing to wait a month for delivery. I don't see me making it to the city until mid February when I drop off my Brew-Off entry. I used Simcoe and I'm very happy with the results - I'd gladly drink all of it if I can't get the beer to you.
