Brew Day at my place - all welcome

[drsmurto]

Throwing open my place and the bar for a brew day this Saturday (23rd of February). This is mainly for the benefit of those looking at making partials and working your way up to AG or even if you are just interested in the process and what gear/methods are involved. Its only my 14th AG but i have pretty much got the process down pat except when i get stuck into the sherbets too early.

Will aim to get started around 11-12. On tap are 3 AGs - the last of the Guinness, a mates dark ale and my latest LCPA attempt that was dry hopped last night with 15g of this seasons cascade. Damn it smelt good.

Brewing an ESB to this recipe - an attempt at Timothy Taylors Landlord.

3.75 kg Pale Malt, Maris Otter (5.9 EBC) Grain 92.59 %
0.30 kg Munich II (Weyermann) (25.0 EBC) Grain 7.41 %
45.00 gm Fuggles [4.40 %] (60 min) Hops 25.2 IBU
30.00 gm Goldings, East Kent [4.50 %] (20 min) Hops 10.4 IBU
0.50 items Whirlfloc Tablet (Boil 15.0 min) Misc
30.00 gm Styrian Goldings [4.70 %] (20 min) (Aroma Hop-Steep) Hops -

Will be dumping it onto a 1469 yeast cake.

Its up in the Adelaide Hills town of Mt Torrens, PM me for address and contact details.

Cheers

Have a great brewday - I'll be thinking of you all as I mash in the Steam beer that same morning...

Cheers,

Reverse gear on tardis engaged. Brew day is 23rd of February! Years gone fast enough as it is without me skipping a month.....

I was gonna "quote for truth" but I'll leave such pettiness to the AHB forum!!

Maybe you could send a mini bus up here so we dont get lost from Newy.
Or a all expenses paid flight may be concidered

As long as doc has Foxtel so I can watch the GF next day, 'cause I'd be in no fit state to travel after that day

That's great to open your doors to us doc, when I go to the Car Museum, in the not too distant future, I'll definitely be "popping" in for a few lessons.

Top work for putting the offer out there Doc.

Really wish I could make it, if for no other reason than to sample your on-tap offerings, they sound great.....but I have this little distance problem.

That is a great offer to your homebrewing buddies. I hope you have good attendance. Hope to hear how it turned out!

[Timmsy]

Would of really loved to make it mate but this weekend is booked out for the V8s (gota see FORD dominate ) if that wasnt on i would be up your joint in a flash thats for sure. Hopefully next time

[James L]

Yeh, i'd love to make it too, but the distance is too great...

But good on you for doing it...

[drsmurto]

The silence is deafening......

Apart from the 2 ppl coming around to pick up bottles i am selling there are no takers. Might not have been too clever to do this on Clipsal weekend. If noone turns up i might just make it a double brew day and belt out a CSA clone.

[Trough Lolly]

C'mon folks - get into it!

I'd be in like a rat up a drainpipe if Canbeera wasn't so dang far away! Who know's he might even pour a sampler from his keg of dry hopped / tea balled goodness !!

Cheers,

or crack a stubby or 2 of the 99 and 00 coopers vintage....

[rwh]

Yeah, I'd be there too, 'cept Aussie land is just too damned big.

[James L]

go halves in an airplane ticket?

[rwh]

Bags the seat! You can go in the cargo hold...

Hang on, you're from WA.

[Boonie]

Can you hold on to a few 'til I get there?

Saving my holidays as we speak so I can have a month off next year....not a month at your place doc, just 3 weeks kidding

Plan on heading south to Melbourne then SA and back again. Might pay a few visits to the Melbournites, like Rysa.

Boonie's great Southern Tour, I'm gunna call it

Cheers

Havent even cracked the 2000 carton and am only halfway thru the 99 so i reckon they will still be here next year......

Happy to host visitors to Docs bar and the various micros around SA ( i havent got down to the Gulf or the Steam Exchange yet). Also surrounded by vineyards home to the best sav blancs outside NZ. Its hard driving past several cellar doors and 2 micros each day to and from work.

Top effort for you opening your house up drsmurto

If i lived in Adelaide, i'd be the first to take up your invite. God knows i'd love to brush up on my mashing skills.

I'm four hours drive away, so maybe next time i might make a trip of it. And swing past Grumpy's too. Good luck for tomorrow. let us know how ya get on.
