thx... it was great times. My SWMBO made a killer homemade bbq sauce. The weather was perfect. All around great day. I can't take credit for all of the beer. I made 7 (Dunkelweizen, IPA, Pliney clone, Saison, ESB, Wheat, and Kolsch) and then some guys in my HBC made the rest (with the exception of the Duchess and BMC). We had 15 total with the Duchess and BMC.
We had an informal, tongue-in-cheek competition and I called the entire day the "Norton International Homebrew Festival and Competition". I got a big two liter glass DAS BOOT and had all of that engraved on it along with "Top Brewer". Kevin from my HBC made a killer Imp IPA and then had the thing on an engine. He won... so I'm going to have the year and his name engrave don it and then the boot is his until next years cookout... like Lord Stanley's cup.
Pig went in about 1:30 Friday afternoon and came out around 3:30-4:00 Saturday afternoon. Crazy-easy and you can see in the vid how the meat just fell off of it.
Next year Yoop... there's always next year. Start thinking of an entry and your invite will be on its way! Actually... hold on... you're not a "Stiller" fan are you?? This is Pats country so there might be issues.
