I feel like a total F-tard. I may not have a primary fermentation vessel availabe for this session. If I can get 5 gallons of my Imperial Red racked to a keg, I'll be good to go. I feel like I'm playing musical fermenters with 20 gallons of beer in primary fermentation right now.
I'm solo parenting all week so bear with me.

Don't stress about it, you can borrow one from me. I'll rack the dopplebock into a carboy (it's still sitting in primary ), and I've got an oatmeal stout to throw in a keg. I may ask 2nd Street to pick me up a 6 gallon glass carboy from Hennessy anyway (I want glass for when I do the Berliner Weisse, not this weekend, though), so there will definately be a primary that you can borrow.
Wifey will be kid-watching. Glib's kids are coming down, the oldest is the same age, or close to it, of your daughter. Your wife's more than welcome to come down, too.
I have a growler of "Beetlejuice" from Vt Pub and Brewery (Greg Noonan's place) to share, along with some Stone 11th Anniversay. The description of the Beetlejuice sounded almost like a Berliner Weisse (talked about a "sour mash"), but I guess it's a hefeweizen (I didn't sample it before buying the growler).
