TOPIC:

I'm thinking of coming along tomorrow. I'm planning on starting my first brew soon so hoping to get some advice on how to get started.

I can already feel my liver shuddering <!-- s:shock: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_eek.gif" alt=":shock:" title="Shocked" /><!-- s:shock: -->

UpsidedownA: Noted, thanks

agodinho: Yep, pile on in. You've come to the right place.

I think we're past the point of being able to hand beers round one at a time, so I propose a more ad hoc method of putting a few beers out at once and people helping themselves. So:
[list:355tpimg][*:355tpimg]
[b:355tpimg]please please please label your bottles, and not on the cap[/b:355tpimg][/*:m:355tpimg]
[*:355tpimg]bring a bottle opener[/*:m:355tpimg]
[*:355tpimg]keep an eye out for any particular beers you want to try as they may not to come to you automatically[/*:m:355tpimg][/list:u:355tpimg]

I've got a friend in from the US who is getting into homebrew there. He's here for a week helping me out in the brewery at Messrs and getting some experience under his belt.
We'd love to stop by and sit in and talk with you. No brews to bring but I'd like him to meet all of you and have some great beer talk!
See you all tomorrow!

Are you sure there's not a little of that old dark Messer's bock laying around any where that you could bring?
(Or even the rumored up and coming dark doppel bock?)
; )

-Joking, obviously, but I do miss the old, dark bock...
