OK, now who's brewing what?

I wish I could come! This sounds great. I love basketball (saw Marquette lose to Louisville Sat. night), and I love beer. And I love brewing. Too bad it's a little too far for me.

You'll do anything to see me naked, won't you??

If that's the case, then I guess I'm going to have to learn to brew blindfolded.
I may have two choices, depending on what date we decide to brew. I can do the 777 or an Alt. I had grains all measured and ready to go for an Alt that I thought I might brew last week when I was snowbound. But it was too frigid to brew and this weekend I'm brewing more Kelly's Honey Blonde Ale. I could just hold off and do the Alt then.

Sure, as long as we can brew.

Just getting caught up with the post. My schedule is pretty open in the near future. We can do it at my place. I'm not wearing the same shirt as everybody else, sounds a little "Brokeback" to me.

The 777 and an Alt sounds good to me - are we going to do 10 gallons of each? Or 10 of the 777 and a smaller batch?
...or something else??
I say we all wear Sox jerseys. I can let Cheese borrow one of mine - lol
...either that, or you have to wear one of these...
...and sing the "peanut butter jelly" song

I have a Sox jersey, it was a present from my BIL when he didn't realize that I'm a Cubs fan. I've kept it in case I ever feel like getting matching arm tats with my son and doing a lot of meth.
As for the beer, I'd like to do the 777 but maybe not the same as Rhoob. I like the grain bill and I like the thought of doing an APA.

Well, I'm already set to do a 5 gal. batch of Alt. So, we could do that, maybe 10 gal. of the 777 and maybe 5 gal. of something else(?).
Should we start a poll?
I have no jersey, but I do have a Sox 2005 WS tee shirt.

I want to use my new mash tun, but am a tad concerned about using it for the 10 gal project as I don't have a efficiency rating yet - she's still a virgin.
I'm wondering if we should use Rhoobarb's tun and my keggle for the 10 gal and my tun and Rhoobarb's pot for a 5 gal recipe?
I wouldn't mind trying an AG version of my Grand Cru for my first shot. That stuff is pretty tasty. Of course, I'm up for just about anything outside of an Old Style clone.

That's fine with me. I'm sure it can handle that much grain. The Grand Cru sounds good. FWIW, I also just remembered I have ingredients and yeast for a Steam beer, too.

What's wrong with each of us doing a 5 gallon batch? I'd rather do my own that argue with someone else about what ingredients to use. And I'm all giddy about my setup so I want to try out my gear. Rd and I can pop our cherries together.
I'd love to try that Cru when it's ready. Make sure you fill a couple bottles for me. I'm still torn as to what I want - a hoppy APA, an all-grain caramel vanilla, a light lager, a hearty red, or a fun belgian like a wit.

Works for me! Now I just have to make up my mind as to what to brew!
That may depend on what date we decide to brew.

Everyone doing their own 5 gal is fine with me too. I just thought that we'd do a big one as a group - I'm good either way.

Where? Snakefood said he'd host. But if he can't, I'm happy to do it if nobody else wants to
When? We're looking for Cheese to give us his open days next month - and hopefully that works with FermentEd.

I'll host, just need to decide on date.

My In-Laws probably won't let us know until about 3 days prior to showing up. They're annoying like that.

I'm hoping it's the weekend of the 24-25. That way I should be able to brew. If it doesn't work out that way I'll still try to stop by later.rdwj said:

I think we're looking at the 24th or 25th - and hopefully Cheese's schedule matches
Probably best to do this via PM - nobody misses it that way.

Either day works for me but I would prefer Saturday.

I just realized last night that Saturday will be tough for me, too. I have to be in the city the Friday night before and it will run late. That'll make it tough for me to get there Saturday at a reasonable time. So, Sunday looks like it will work better for me, too.
