2nd Truro Meeting

Post by Woody » Fri Feb 21, 2014 10:42 pm

I think it's about that time to start thinking about another Truro meeting. I'm going to throw Thursday March 6th out there around 7pm ish. I'd like to give someone else a chance to host as I heard others at the last meeting saying they would like a chance. I don't have any weekends off for awhile so let me know what you think. I noticed we have a lot of Hop heads in the crew so a few weeks ago I started a Citra Hop Double IPA. I'm dry hopping this baby with more Citra and Centennial. I'll have a few others to sample as well. :mebeer:

I'll not make it to this one for sure, but in the event of an April meeting I'll be bringing back some local brews from Quebec City in March that we can break into.
Nova Prime Taproom
Tap 1: Festa Brew Scotch Ale
Tap 2:
"Fill with mingled cream and amber,
I will drain that glass again.
Such hilarious visions clamber
Through the chamber of my brain -
Quaintest thoughts - queerist fancies
Come to life and fade away;
What care I how time advances?
I am drinking ale today." ~ Poe

I can do March 6th but later is good also. I can host if we need somewhere depending upon the date.

Sounds good Jeff. Let's wait until the dust settles with the Garrison Competition and look at the end of March. X)

Hey Everyone,

Sandy has offered to run any orders up to the meeting from Halifax. If you want to put in an order and not pay shipping get it in by tonight! Just add a note in the notes section that it needs to go to the Truro meeting and it'll be there waiting for you.

Thanks!

Dave

That's much appreciated. I'll send a PM to the others to make sure they're aware. Not sure when/where the next meeting will be yet but I'll offer to have any supplies dropped at my place as I'm fairly central.
Thanks Sandy!

Just got a text from Pete. Thanks for the offer Dave and Sandy. I've got enough supplies to last until the wide mouth fermenters come in and then I'll head to EverwoodAve to pick them up and stock up on supplies. Anyone from Truro or nearby wishing to have anything picked up let me know as I'm more that happy to do it.

When is Sandy coming thru? Or is he waiting until we have the next meeting? Would be great to have him. We need to look at a date.

Ah, ok, bit of a misunderstanding there. Thought you were on your way up here (truro) soon.
Thanks for the offer though Sandy!

Ok guys time to start thinking about a beer appreciation night. Jeff aka Mac Brew mentioned to me he would be up for hosting a get-together but needed some notice. What do you guys think of April 22 or 23rd? I find with my limited weekends off they are saved for family time so thru the week works better for me. If those dates don't work for Jeff I can host again or we can let someone else have a chance.

30th works a little better for me. Though after tasting Mark's black IPA last night, I'll make it to whatever date he chooses. :drool:

know i'll be in town 22-23 hoping to be there for the 30th. Predicting my work schedule too far in advance is like predicting NS weather, you know its going to rain but just now quite sure when

I'm out for the 30th...can't do wednesdays in general. I can't make any promises the black ipa will be in existence for much longer...this keg is going in record time. I should hopefully have some India Brown on the go relatively soon...just kegged it Sunday.

I see Jeff hasn't signed on the site for a bit so I fired him off a text to see if he was still up for it and get his address. I think he is over in Brookside. I'll bring a growler of my Double IPA, ESB and possibly another. Look forward to it!

Mark I would imagine after 7pm but I'll let you know when I hear back from Jeff. Definitely come whenever you can and I know I'll still be there at 9pm. Mark I did my last double IPA with Citra and loved it. That keg went dry fast but I started one a little over a week ago. I hopped it up to 120 ibu's with Columbus and Centennial and just did Nash's hop tea dry hop technique with 2 oz Centennial and 2 oz Columbus. I wanted a hop bomb for you hop heads. Should end up being about 8%.

Hi guys, sorry to be slow getting back to you all but been hectic at work. Yes, meeting will be at my house at 7pm on Wed, April 30th. I am over in Brookside. Send me a PM and will send you my address. Would like to get an idea of numbers. Please ensure you have a ride home. All are welcome. :welcome:

Just bring some beers to share and I will provide the rest. Mark, no worries, come after your son's hockey, I am sure we will still be going :spilly: Looking forward to it!

I should have an IPA kegged but my oatmeal stout is all but a memory....
