Ok so after 13 hours of brewing, we finally finished. Over a barrel of beer made in 13 hours. 5 - 6gal AG batches and a 6 gal apfelwein. The rain held out until just as we packed everything up and it's pouring out now. Lucky day and it really went well. Here is the final product and there are plenty of pics if you read on.
Well it's been pouring rain for the last 12 hours, but we still plan on having a huge brew day tomorrow. We set up the canopy tonight to hopefully keep us marginally dry.
On the agenda tomorrow are 6 gallon batches of each:
American Pale Ale
American Stout
Brown Ale
Vanilla Bourbon Porter
Espresso Stout
Apfelwein
I had a batch of American Stout fermented out, so we went ahead and kegged that tonight and we made the Apfelwein about 20 minutes ago. We plan to get breakfast and start around 8am. It's either going to be a huge success or a miserable failure. I'm not sure which yet. It's supposed to be reasonably warm (almost 60) but rainy all day. I'm going to post updated hopefully with photos as the day progresses. Good luck to everyone brewing tomorrow!
Here we go:
