Rebellious Lambic - AKA Old English October Beer...

[Garry]

Good man Taf. I have 300g of EKG pellets myself so I should have spare hops if anyone else needs them.

[johnrm]

Yeast is sorted too.
We need Malt. Does everyone have 8kg Pale and 200g Amber?
I need to check my stock.

[LordEoin]

not yet, but that's easy to fix

1. johnrm - 2 x 2.2Kw Electric 33l plastic (Have Gas burner, Propane Cylinder, need reg and 50l s/s pot) either date
2. taf
3. Sam
4. Dara
5. mr_happy
6. Garry - 1x2kw + 1x3kw, 29th
7. LordEoin 2X2.2kw

Re the EKG, I've started a consolidated list, as per below link, so we can go to Tube with one order, and can get delivery and distribute among ourselves.

I have plenty of base malt.

I don't have any Amber though!

[Taf]

Same here, as have plenty pale, but no amber.

Lads. Someone really should add a no converted starch addition for their brew. Addition of corn. Gives the beasties a food source for the upcoming year or so .

[LordEoin]

So lemme see if I have the shopping list correct:
8kg pale malt - https://www.thehomebrewcompany.ie/maris-otter-whole-grain-10kg-p-2090.html
200g amber malt - https://www.thehomebrewcompany.ie/amber-whole-grain-80-ebc-1kg-p-2097.html
140g ekg - Tube
wlp037 - https://www.thehomebrewcompany.ie/white-labs-wlp037-yorkshire-square-ale-yeast-p-2057.html

Right?

[donnchadhc]

Yeast will be provided by Andrew I think. I second the use of whirlfloc.

[mr hoppy]

Sounds good LE. I'd not thought about using finings but might be a good idea - just remember WLP037 is very flocculant.

[Dr Horrible]

Is there enough yeast for everyone or will some of us need to buy a few vials - I'm making an order anyway so not a big deal if I have to get some yeast as well. 
What size starter are we talking about?  Did a rough calc on Mr Malty and it looks like a 4.5/5L starter using two vials to get enough yeast, or else do two steps.   Or am I way off?

Haven't checked, but that sounds reasonable enough. I just got a stir plate,  so want to christen that, so will try to step it up a couple of times,  but it might just suit some people to buy it? Would dry yeast be an option for those who may not want to use liquid?

[mr hoppy]

I'm sure it would be fine. Notty would be what I'd use if I was going dry. Anyone else?

Mr Malty's a bit extreme in its calculations - I'd take it with a pinch of salt.

If you are doing a larger starter (2l+) try to chill and decant the wort before pitching. I'd say that should work quite well as WLP037 drops out pretty hard.

In terms of malt and hops, I'll be making an order for some other stuff I need to stock up on today probably, should I include what I need for this brew too or is there some sort of group buy happening with it?

[LordEoin]

There's plenty of amber malt floating around, and I believe mr happy is going to sort some yeast.
I just ordered the lot for myself anyway for convenience.
