SEPT 2021 HOP DROPS

Hi Folks,
 
Some info about this weekend including the brew day so please have a read!
 
• It’s hop drop for Cascade only on Saturday. If you are unsure what your hops are, please pick them the following week for the Bitter Brew. SEPT 18TH
• Please do not bring Prima Donna this week. As they are younger plants, we have given them the extra week to grow. SEPT 25TH HOP DROP For Prima Donna
• Please do not bring hops on Friday. We need them as fresh as possibly. Ideally, we should be picking and brewing within 24 hours.
• If you are bringing bines please stick around to pick your hops. This is all about community, so we need to work together.
• If you are picking your hops at home please bring them in a paper bag or a box. It stops the
hops from sweating and start to go off.
The Taproom is open between 12noon and 8pm on Saturday so there’s plenty of time to drop off your hops. The bar is open and we have an Italian Street Food vendor so make an afternoon of it! We are child and pet friendly too.
 
BREWDAYS INFO:
SEPT 19TH AND SEPT 26TH
• If you are coming to the brew day you can bring your hops on Sunday. We will need them by 11am at the latest.
• The taproom will be open from 12noon – 5pm. However please note those taking part in the brew day will not be able to drink alcohol until the mash tun has been emptied. This is a health and safety aspect.
• You are welcome to pop along between 9am and 5pm to see us brewing, or stay for the whole day and get involved.
• Please note it is labour intensive. Please wear clothes you don’t mind getting dirty and waterproof shoes and a change of sock are a good idea.
• We will be in from 8:30am and the brew day starts at 9am when we mash in.
• Unfortunately, we cannot allow under 18s to take part in the brew day. There are many hazards. The Taproom will be open so children are allowed in the venue but will need supervision. I.e if you are taking part in the brew day you will need another adult to supervise your child at the taproom.
• We don not have a street food vendor on Sunday so please bring a picnic or Aldi is just around the corner to grab some grub.
Looking forward to it!

Event Details:

HOP DROP
Sat 21st September 2019
1200 -21:30
Nomadic Beers
Unit 11, 15 Sheepscar Street, LS7 1AD

Tips for picking:
Cut the strings bottom first and lay out on a table to dry a bit
Wear long sleeves and gloves if possible
Check for bugs and give all the cones a good shake before bagging up
Make sure they are dry as possible
If you need to pick early please bag and refrigerate -freeze for longer storage get all the air out
Fresh hops need to be used within 24-48 hours so don’t pick too early.

If you are bogged down just bring the hops on the binds on the Hop Drop day and we can all pitch in and pick the cones. I’ll have a table set up for picking.

Do get in touch if you have any questions.

Hope to see you all there – New members welcome to join in

I want to apologise for being a bit quiet over the past 6 months. No excuse really.
