I wanted to bump this to the top.

It looks lke we have a winter storm warning up for 3AM Saturday morning to 6PM Saturday night. 5-8 inches with higher accumulations South and closer to the lake. (Where I am.)

Fear not! The brew day is still on. I will be there at 8:00. You can count on it. So if it takes you guys awhile to get here, that's OK.

It does appear that once again I will not be able to attend. I have been called in to a client who's entire system is down. The whole system crashed at about 9:45, I figure it will be a good chuck of time to fix 6 servers and 2 mail servers.

I really need a raise for this crap!

Thanks to all that came to brew beer and hang out! I had a blast.

It was a great way to spend a snowy day. Brewing beer, drinking a little beer and BS'ing a bunch. New Glarus iced barleywine is some pretty tasty brew!

Short Drive brewed 10 gallons of an American pilsner.

Sause brewed 5 gallons of a Belgian style.

Bernie Brewer brewed 5 gallons of Octoberfest.

And I brewed 10 gallons of Maibock.

It was nice to meet Chris Z and his two boys. Could you think of a better place for a 4 and 8 year old to hang out than a cookie factory?

Sause crushin' da grain.
