Learn to Brew!!!!! NEW Open Brew

Days!!! Don’t have the equipment and or knowledge? Just want hang out and brew beer. What are you waiting for? Brew with Thorolf at the Vincog brewery, on the Baroness's estate, 417 Free State Dr., Shirley, NY, 11967. Kettle fire at noon. Check baronial calendar for dates all. Please RSVP with Thorolf, [email protected] or 631-258-3576. No calls after 9:00pm. Contact Thorolf at same for more information. Email preferred text discouraged. Anyone emailing me on the subject will be added to Google calendar and receive automatic updates as they become available. Dates may be canceled without notice if no one RSVP's and the quantity of wort being prepared is based upon RSVP's.

One must contribute to the production costs and participate in the brewing process to be eligible for wort. Once the yeast is pitched its beer and I can’t sell beer. One must also provide ones own transport container or packaging, ie Primaries or carboys for wort . Estimated material cost is $4.00-$5.00 per gallon of wort. Supplies might be limited. If you need a yeast pinch let Thorolf know when you RSVP so one can be arranged.

Every month we will try to do something different: style, ingredient, technique etc or explore in depth some basic technique of the process.

March 14 Time to start thinking about Oktoberfest. The Oktoberfest beer is a Märzen, or March beer because it was traditionally brewed in March. and lagered in caves to til autumn. It will be our last lager of the year.

April 18- 2 weeks to crown, plenty of time to brew an all grain hefeweizen, the first summer beer of the year. This will have a very simple grain bill, half malted wheat and half malted barley, with a protein rest for the wheat to aid in it's utilization.

May 23 & 25- Finally a long weekend but barley long enough for a sour mash Berliner weisse. Saturday we will start a sour mash with the wheat portion of the Berliner weisse that we will brew on the Monday holiday. the sour mash will also serve as the protein rest for the malted wheat.

Looking for suggestions for 2015. June-August it's Kölsch yeast. In autumn were going back to English ale yeast and English and autumn beers in including another unspiced Pumpkin or squash beer. At some point we will have to do braggot, meads, and a wine in the fall, if there is interest.

NEW!!! Baronial Bardic Circle!!!

Come and be welcome! I, Lady Saruke thugater Elmanos, do call to all who would care to laugh, sing, dance, tell stories, and in general be merry! On the second and fourth Saturday of each month there will be a Bardic Circle in Ronkonkoma, NY at my home. Please feel free to come even if you do not wish to perform (we need people to listen/ watch our silliness). It will be open from 4-8:30pm with a food break somewhere (bring food if you want, we'll order out if not), but you only need stay for as long as you can. We will be discussing anything that comes up and throwing around some new and not-so-new songs/stories to learn and laugh about. Discrete drinking is fine, but I ask that there not be intense drunkenness for my housemates' sake. Who: Everyone!

Spring Scola

The Ducks of the Barony of An Dubhaigeann have really enjoyed travelling. Last year we went to the Far Off Lands of Russia to sample their lifestyle & culture. Where shall we go this year?! We are excited to announce this year's annual Spring Schola and Feast, inspired by a visit to the Sorbonne in the 13th Century. Learn to cook the "local" cuisine, take classes in various artistic and scientific endeavors. Our Friendly Neighbors in Lions End had their Schola just four short weeks ago, and many of their classes were PART I. Come on out to the Ducky Domain for the PART II's

The Spring Schola will be held on March 21st 2015 at the Universalist Unitarian Church in Huntington. Baronial Champions Lord Eanraig MacEanraig and Lady Galle Amsel will be stepping down after a long hard winter, choosing new Bardic and Arts & Sciences Champions. All are invited and encouraged to participate in these annual competitions that welcome Spring's beauty back into the lands of our Barony.

Bardic Championship The Bardic Championship Challenge will be based on the 3 elements of bards: storytelling, poetry, and music/song. I, Eanraig the Bonesetter, your current Champion, encourage anyone to participate, and wish to have those gentles who accept the Bardic Challenge perform any 2 out of the following 3: First, an original piece of poetry, in the style of their persona if able, of any SCA member from whom they draw inspiration. (4 min time limit) Next, a short story: Glory or chivalry of a baronial member at any recent event - you can interview anyone for details starting NOW. (5 min or less). Last, a song or style of music played, preferred in your persona but any period culture is fine (3-4 min suggested). Anyone can perform one or two of the above without committing to serve as champion, and the populace will vote on those performers who have entered the competition. The winner of the day will be the new Baronial champion, and I will sponsor a special gift for the singular best performance of the day, chosen by the Baron and Baroness and their Champions.

Arts and Sciences Championship

1/7/15 This year the A&S competitors will be asked to incorporate some aspect of snow into their piece. Pieces that incorporate an aspect of snow will be given three points. Pieces that are documented will be given up to 5 points based on the depth of documentation and the populace will vote on their favorite. The piece with the most points will win an award and the Baron and Baroness will take the points into consideration for their choice of the new A&S Champion for An Dubhaigeainn

CLASS LISTING

FEAST CREATION CLASS... You will learn to make a Dayboard and A Feast by doing just that for today's event. The theme of our Schola is spurred by the food which is 14th century French. See menu for the class list. Bring Your Own Apron and knives if desired. This is an ALL DAY class.

***** YOUTH CLASSES

The schedule for children includes two 1 hour blocks, a 1 hour break to sample the Dayboard or your own food from home and the another two 1 hour blocks. Well supervised children aged 5 & up are welcome, parents can participate too!!

Candle Making Making dipped is a craft that dates back to . In this class, students will learn about the history of making. All students will have the opportunity to make a dip candle that they can take home with them.

French Knitting French knitting is a form of knitting that uses a spool and a number of nails to produce a narrow tube of fabric. Spool knitting is a traditional way to teach children the basic principles of knitting. The craft dates back to Ancient Egypt, over 6 thousand years ago. Many things can be made from the resulting tube. It can be wound in a spiral to produce a mat or rug, or if a larger spool with more nails in is used, a sock or a hat could be made. Spool knitting has also been used historically to make horse reins. In this class, students will make a simple French Knitting spool, and learn to knit.

Heraldry for Children. Heraldry is the way in which families and knights could be identified through the use of symbols and signs, either on banners, shields or seals. By creating crests and coats of arms warriors could be identified on the battlefield when encased in armor and people could be seen as part of a family. It is a colorful way of identification, full of meaning which has evolved over hundreds of years and is still used today. In this class we will learn about different vocabulary used in heraldry. We will learn about the colors commonly used as well as some common heraldry symbols. Students will be given the opportunity to create a heraldic device and to make and dress a knight paper doll.

Medieval Games The game Nine Men's Morris is known to have been popular in medieval and and probably shares a common origin with ancient versions of tic-tac-toe. The ancient Roman game of ROTA is easy to learn and quick to play. It is a great game that teaches planning ahead and the points of the compass. In this class we will make game boards for ROTA and Nine Men’s Morris. Then we will learn to play. ***** The Barony of An Dubhaigeainn 7

From the Coronet Unto the populace of An Dubhaigeainn, do your Baron and Baroness send greetings!

The month of February was not very eventful – with the exception of the winter storms, of course. Let us hope that winter is showing its last actions and the spring is soon to make an appearance. With the Barony hosting Crown Tournament on May 2nd for Their Highnesses (soon to be Majesties), we ask that anyone interested in working on or being involved in the event to contact the autocrat ([email protected]). Many hands make light work. Let’s show the kingdom what An Dubhaigeainn can do. Before Crown Tourney, there will be the An Dubhaigeainn Baronial Schola on March 21st; this when the next Baronial Bardic and Arts & Science Champions will be chosen (check event listing for parameters of each competition).
