TOG Brewday (Saturday 4th February 10am)
TOG members and Capital Brewers return to TOG HQ this coming Saturday (4th February). Hearty brews are on the menu, in both brewing with guidance and instructions from the experts, and tasting craft beer made at previous brew days!
A very rough time-line of a brew day is as follows (a little earlier than usual to be finished before AGM):
- 9:00am – 11pm: Heating water, water treatment and mashing grain
- 11pm – 1pm: Boiling & beer tasting from previous brews and visitors beers
- 1pm – 3pm: Cooling and clean up
Every brew day is slightly different with a mix of brewers, recipes and techniques. The long term goal would be to get a full set of brewing equipment that TOG members can use themselves at the space and make your own beer, cider or wine whenever you like! All you need are the ingredients. We are already well on our way to achieving that goal with several sets of equipment for members to choose from.
Its always a fun and engaging day, the cost is free (donations are welcome) so come along, ask questions and even help with the brewing!
TOG Brewday
Just completed our first triple brew day in TOG with 3 members making 75 liters of Stout, Brown Porter and American Pale ale. Colm Gorey from Silicon Republic also dropped in to ask us a few questions about how to get started with brewing as part of his Tech Tips series.
The beers were brewed on 3 very different types of equipment. the stout was brewed with the traditional mash tun and kettle combination. The mash tun is made from a large cooler box and the kettle is a very large boiler that is normally used for keeping water hot. The brown porter was brewed using a Braumeister, it is an automated brewing system that has the mashtun built into the kettle. The American pale ale was brewed on a semi automated brewing system called the Grainfather, it operates in a similar fashion to the Braumeister as it also integrates the mash tun and kettle together.
All of this equipment and ingredients is permanently located in the TOG space and is available for all full members to use anytime.
