hey who do i paypal again for beer

Eventually it will be me, although you can bring $$ to the meet. The paypal link in the original post was for the last brewday.

I'll get a final number once I work out how many batches need to be done and how much ingredients need to be purchased to get that many batches.

I dunno, I thought it was just friday, but I felt like talking like that anyway

do you want to go with fresh hops

Fresh grown, hops for brewing beer

i would like to join you guys, but i am not sure if i can make it will try to let you know soon.

So right now we're looking at 7 batches.
Keep the signups coming!!!

I've put an inquiry in today with my LHBS (Tom @ Thirsty Brewer) to see if he can handle this much EKGs...I'll be calling MDHB later if Tom can't accomodate us.

Suck ass, I just found out that Oct 11 is the only day (within the next month) my caterer/cake/reception site people can meet to discuss wedding crap.

HWMO and I are out. Sorry guys.

noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.....

I pulled that from this super special video with Kirk Cameron and some Australian dude that uses a banana to explain why there is a God.

The only EKGs that MDHB has are whole leaf. Not sure if that matters to anyone, but just an FYI.

Also, what kind of equipment will we need? All I have is a 5 gal tun and I've painfully found out it's upper limit is 12# of grain. However, I could bring my turkey fryer which will boil 6.5 gallons with fermcap drops (that I have).

I have 2 burners and 2 kettles capable of 10g batches.

If 98exl and clap get their crap together, they should have 10g+ kettles as well.

A few extra burners, propane cylinders, and mash tuns are always appreciated.

D'oh, that's right!

You're not coming and you still follow the thread -- that's awesome.

FYI - I have to order the hops tomorrow to be in by the 11th, so please make your signups by lunch tomorrow - otherwise we may need to do some last minute hop arrangments.

i need a double batch so 10 gallons of wort for me

Folks,

What kind of yeast do I need to get. It's 1056 right?

Thanks,

Ok, I ordered the hops today and I have enough base grain to cover this and made sure the shop's got enough specialty grains for 8 batches.

So, looks like we're gonna do 4x10g batches. shootermeb and I will take 10 gallons if we needs it.

As for the yeast - I think personally everyone can byo that - maybe a bunch of us want to try out some different yeasts and such. The recipe calls for WLP001, which I think is the equivalent of 1056.

I may use nottingham if I can finds it, otherwise I will probably use a London Ale yeast for mine.

98EXL: you gonna have me a ghetto stirplate by then?

so how much do i owe

whoes excited wooooo!

I don't have the exact recipe at hand, but I think it's ~$30 per 5g batch. I know there's about 16# of grain and 3oz hops per batch, so you can go from there at an approximate cost. We'll have a final price once I get the hops in and find out exactly what all the grains and hops cost.

Again - byo yeasties, unless someone wants to bring some to share.

Update: Added the address to the first post in the thread for those of you who may not see the forum much in the next few days.

See you Saturday!!!

I'm planning on getting US-05 as the yeast. Should be a good dry yeast option.

hey, ADX... when you goign to MDHB? could you pick me up some stuff? (yeast, campden) Ill order and pay in advance or are you getting it elsewhere?

I'll probably swing by there either today or later in the week. Just send me an IM or PM with what you need and you can pay me next Saturday.
