Brewin' with OB

I'll (tentatively) be brewing 30 gallons or so this Sunday and I'll be webcasting at livestream.com/maltz. Something could still come up preventing the brew day and if it does I'll update this thread. I'm planning on being started by about 9 am EST.

I haven't decided yet for sure how much and what yet, but it will be between 30-40 gallons and could me as much as 50 if a fellow MALTZ member decides to come and give me enough notice, as he'll be taking 5 or 10g home with him. Any MALTZ member who sees this is welcome to come and help - I'll probably need it!

I got tired of waiting for PseudoChef to send me a damn webcam, so I dropped $30 on a cheapo logitech at RadioShack today and I'm playing with it now and I'm live at the address above if anyone wants to come hang out in my virtual pub.

The Tefalbier and Patersbier (Enkel) are pretty much straight out of the last issue of Zymurgy with some modifications to what I had on hand. I couldn't find mace, so I'm substituting some Sweet Gale in the Enkel.

The brewcast will start somewhere around 10 am EST, give or take 20-30 min.

Brewcasting now.

Thanks to everyone who stopped by to check out the brewcast. 45 gallons in 12 hours - it was a good day.

I didn't get any pics of the process (that's what the webcam was for), but I did get a pic of the carnage afterward (all but the 3 on the far right were brewed today - 35 gallons for me + 10 gallons for a buddy to take home with him):

55g in primaries/secondaries, another 20g in kegs waiting... life is good.

I totally dig the Cartman. I need one of those for my brewhouse.

Sorry I missed this.
It's be be cool to just take 1 weekend and brew until I can't stand anymore. I could probably do 3 10G batches a day and be set. That'd last me most of the year!

It was cool, but even with a buddy helping me, it was a very long day. All of the fermenters are cranking away though. Now I just have to figure out where to put all of this once it's done fermenting.

I probably don't have to brew for the rest of the year now, but of course I will anyway.

You can keep some at my house. I'm here to help.

Brewcasting again tonight. Should start around 7 or so. I'll update this thread when it's up. Same link - MALTZ- live streaming video powered by Livestream

Right now I'm thinking 5g of Summer Ale and 5g of Belgian Pale Ale, but that's subject to change.

I'm so there. I will be heckling.

Well that's standard.

Up now, just finished mashing in.

How do I always miss these live brew casts by a day?

Doin' it again this evening. I'll update when the cam is hot.

How late is this evening?

I typically don't turn the cam on until after I'm mashed in so it will probably start somewhere between 6 and 6:30.

He was thinking around 10:00. Do not be suprised when it is not "brewing with OB" that you get but "Showering with OB"

Perv!

Oh come on now... that's on a different channel all together. Your mom has the url.

I commented about the trolling... Livestream support wrote back and says they are working on rolling out improved chat moderation features because that is a growing problem. Hopefully it will happen soon.

Darn it. Missed it again!

Thanks, Sacc. I'm sure that they'll take care of it somehow, but I doubt it will be before I brew again on 9/11 so I went to ustream.tv/ohiobrewtus because I can put a password on the room.

I'm not going to put the password here because the trollers basically got this site handed to them and I don't want to have to deal with that again, so if you think you'll want to watch one of my brewcasts sometime just shoot me a PM and I'll send you the password.

How'd that Enkel turn out?

Turned out very well. It was a big hit at Beerfest this year.
