Seven Man Brew Day in PA
|
|
Saturday, me and 6 other brewing friends gathered in Paoli, PA for a group Brew Day. We are going to ferment and serve our beers for a big group of our friends, brewfest style at the end of February. Here's a few pics to get started, but the Photobucket link is here.
Back of the Escape with just my stuff at 6:30am. Still needed to pick up a friend spectator and HBT member and brewer, jaysus.
Spectator friend bailed, so had time to go to Negley Park and take a sunrise pic of Harrisburg:
Good he bailed, because we had just enough room for our stuff... Here's the truckster with both jaysus' and my stuff:

Two tuns going... We had 4 all-grain batches, two extract/steep, and one all extract.
6 batches going:

We used 66.2 lbs of grain (grain plus extracts, for simplicity), 18 ounces of hops, and well over 100 gallons of water. 7 guys brewed a total of 35 gallons of beer. This would fill over two half kegs.
A big brew day calls for a big beer:
Anyway.... More pics here. |

jaysus' green one has a hole in the top. Plus it was about 30F outside, so I believe in a little insulation over the top. I only lost 2F in an hour. 151F to 149F. |

I had to laugh at the towels... 'cause I thought I was the only one to use one!
Looks like a blast!
