If you guys can pack up a lot of the brewery (within reason) I encourage you to do so, I know I would, just so I have all of my stuff on hand, so it was obvious on how to do it.

I must say im jealous I don't have all these toys, I could bring a 20 QT pot, if that would be helpful......

Include my roommate in your RSVP as well. He doesn't post much on the boards, but I'm sure if we're brewing, he'll be there.

Signature link updated. :)

I'll bring on more piece of equipment: a camera. Just warning you all now!

Any ideas on what to brew?

claphamsa: nah, don't even bother, just bring yer carboy and airlock :) (don't forget beers)
jezter: updated (I know he'd be coming, but just never wrote it down)
Kev: updated

As for food...if you want to bring some, by all means, knock yourself out. Once again, when I do plan things, I am kinda a nazi, so let us all know

As for what to brew, I'm just going to throw this out there:

IPA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

my dream is in a year or so being good enough to try and brew a victory hop devil clone......


And on another note, im thinking my apfelwine will be done on Feb 22 :D

in a year, try it now!

I have plenty of apfelwien on hand too! Sweet and not so sweet versions

mine is very dry. i back loaded it with lactose, and its good.... but i wont do that again.......

I think to try a reasonable clone ill need to be in all grain........ and i dont even have the stuff to do that yet. but thats the goal! mmm hops!

I'm not "into" hoppy beers, but an IPA to bottle up and savor is certainly on my list. I suppose that would be a good day to do it!

Where and when is it going to happen?
