Masstoberfest 2014

The haters gonna hate, but we can't hear them over the noise at the after party, can we Paul?

Paul? Where did you go?

Cape, Pictures don't lie... Jesus, that cups been everywhere. Paul, maybe you can have Gisele make an appearance at Masstoberfest??

Sorry, didn't catch that last one....dropped my phone in the pool. Paul said he would dive down and get it. Uh, Paul, that's not where I dropped it.

Umm, Paul.... That doesn't look like the lovely Alice.

She does from where I'm looking.

Hey, where's that milk stout recipe of yours? That was tasty.

Agreed. Mort... recipe please?

Hey all,
here's the recipe I used - a slightly tweaked version of Yooper's famous Oatmeal Stout. Below was cut and pasted from BeerSmith, so please let me know if anyone needs/wants additional info.

And sorry to clog up a thread started by PTN with Facts. So, in advance, GFY.

I love Yoops oatmeal stout.

Hmm. now that I think about it, you asked about the milk stout, not the oatmeal stout. I had forgotten that I brewed both within a few weeks of each other, and stopped looking for recipes when I found the one for the other stout. Here's the recipe for the milk stout - based on a clone recipe for Left Hand Brewings Milk stout. I thought it a little sweet, and would probably scale back a bit on the lactose during the next batch.

Mort do you always use the 0.2 oz or do you round to the nearest half?

Ha!!!

Wouldn't that be rounding to the nearest quarter oz?

Grassyass Herr Wrecker.

Who has the Damn Drinkable IPA recipe? That was really good too. Oh and that different version of Graff that showed up late?

Either PTN, PTO, or Yeager has it.

Hi All,
those numbers came out like that when I scaled the 5 gallon batch recipe up to 11 gallons in Beer Smith and I never bothered redoing the numbers, but I scaled them up or down to the nearest oz, or pound, such as the lactose. I used 2 #, but thought that was too much.

I checked my notes too, and used Wyeast 1028 London Ale on 5 gallons, and 1084 Irish yeast on the other 5. The beer I brought last year was with the London Ale yeast, and was a bit sweeter than the Irish ale yeast.

Thanks Mort!

Hey AZ,
I just checked for you. Only $474 round trip from Phoenix to Boston. You should have bought your ticket earlier and saved some bucks. That's OK, you can stay at Brian's place and save money that way.

Hey what time is this thing starting?

some people show up around 6AM

Yeah... I'm pretty sure my wife would try to kill me if I left that early because I'd be leaving her with my 5 month old, and 7 year old neither of which had woken up yet. Good to know that it's pretty much show up whenever.

On the plus side I convinced her to bake something for you guys. She has chosen Guinness Brownies from scratch. Should be really good.

Don't listen to Rookie...

If you're smart you'll put him on 'Ignore' status. It will save you a LOT of aggravation.

As long as it's your wife making it from scratch.

I wouldn't want anything made from PTN's scratchings. Don't even think a pizza oven could purify that stuff.

hahaha... I just got caught up on the pizza oven thread... seriously you guy had me laughing hard enough my manager was starting to wonder what was up.

So i'm having a moment... did you say 'around 1PM' or am i not remembering correctly?

I'll be arriving "late" this year... I have a golf tourney to attend in the AM but please...start without me. I know it will be hard but, try to have some fun before I arrive

1 is good.

I'm not drinking till Will shows up.

K. See you at 5am!

Hey guys, the wife and I are trying to make it to this but one of my friends decided to be a moron and went and got engaged. Now we have to go do our rounds at an engagement party in Waltham at 1pm. I could potentially get there by 4pm or so, so probably would be best if I don't try to add in the logistics of bringing and planning out a brew session. I'm more than happy to lug stuff around for people who are brewing Saturday though (despite being a scrawny 165lb weakling)

I could probably bring a couple 3 gallon kegs of some brews if someone is planning on having a jockey box there to use. I have a black rye IIPA, a bells 2 hearted clone, and a belgian pale ale that should be done dry hopping and carbing by Saturday.

Either way, we hope to make it and meet some local homebrewers. Will you be providing your address or did I miss that in this huge thread?

Also, just an FYI, there is a group buy that Crazyirishman and I are running in this thread. We still have a few weeks probably before we get enough orders, so feel free to join in. Pickup is at my house in Concord MA.

If you can't make it on time don't bother coming.

Just kidding. No one is punching a time clock, its a BBQ. Come when you can, leave when you must, stay if you drink too much. Kegs of beer are always welcome, we'll manage to get you onto a jockey box somewhere. Maybe not all day, bring a few picnic taps just in case.

And anyone showing up before sunrise will be shot. Anyone showing up before noon will be put to work.

PM me for the address.

If I can fire up my kettle at noon thirty ish I'm all in for working.

Thinking I'm going to end up just doing an APA/IPA this weekend, not a steinbier; I'll just help out Smurfmeat with his.

Favor to ask the crowd, though; anyone heading to a homebrew shop in the next few days? I've got plenty of malt and hops, but I'm completely bereft of any yeast at the moment. Could someone pick me up a pack of US05 and I'll pay you on Saturday?

I'll get some for you.

I'm not taking a stinking check.

Bummer re: no forge fired stones. I was really looking forward to that.

I'll need to stop by a shop on my way. I need to pick up a new fermentation bucket, so I can pick one up if needed.

I wasn't the one who didn't pay you for three years!

I eventually gave up on waiting and took it as a loss on my taxes.

Thank you, Paulie!

You still want me to bring down that yellow caution tape? You should probably cordon off the pizza oven; it'd be a real shame if someone breathed on it wrong and the whole thing collapsed.

hehehehehe



Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew because it impresses people

Good idea, I don't want any of you idiots getting near it.

So why the bail on a stein beer?

I have to stop by TWB thursday nite for steinbrau fixun's, i can pick up anything you may need. let me know ... i will arrive around noonish to start thet thar
fiah' ..... Jay, .... smurfmeat
