I didn't think we had to go that far

I brought my brew log to work today

Since April 1st, I've done 16 brews, and have 3 different strains of yeast in my fridge

I think that's pretty damn good for a n00b!

I've had these sitting in my AHS wishlist all day today:

Blue Moon Belgian White (02519)
AHS Promotional Black Ale (06439)
more yeast for Apfelwein
and another stir rod
Total Wishlist $51.18

but then again, I have my brew log with me to go to the LHBS, a container for more LME (save $3!) and I'm torn.........so indecisive. I do need some more DME for starters either way, so I'm going to the LBHS after work regardless...but I'm wondering if I should get something while I'm there

I'd have to pick up yeast from the LHBS if I order from AHS....

Man, you need to get an 8 gallon kettle so you can do full boils and join the All Grain Club.

and a burner.....but for now, I like brewing in the AC....but come fall and winter....I'll be outside with a burner and big kettle sitting in my Lazy-boy-garage-chair....yeah, that's right...nice pleather garage chair! I just can't do it in the summer, to hot.

I think I've finally come up with a game plan for this event:

Buy yeasties for Fat Tire Clone, Blue Moon Clone, and that AHS Black Ale, some DME for more starters, and sugar for more Apfelwein.

Place order with AHS for the 3 kits

Then debate weather to go back and get another Oatmeal Stout and another IPA (since I have yeast for them already)

I can do 4 in 10 days...so long as the first two get done fermenting in a week....I may need more carboys

You can still heat your mash & sparge water on the stove and do the boil outside like I used to. Now I just get some shade and a fan.

Pretty Easy. Most done inside with A/C keeping things cool.

HLT heating water.



Doughing In.



Batch Sparging



And finally, the boil, OUTSIDE.



Now go get that 8 gallon kettle!
