MD Spring Brew Day Tasting

[claphamsa]

Does this location have access to water? Water that isn't being stolen from a business?

Beltway good.. Perry hall is 2 hours for me uphill both ways on crappy roads through bad parts of town

 

[monty73741]

perry hall is right out side of the beltway i think it is like 5 miles from my office

 

[jezter6]

they mean the DC beltway.

 

[claphamsa]

yeah! Jezter, are you ever not signed into the chat?

 

[jezter6]

umm...I leave IRC on at the house

so I'm always on, unless I have to reboot or I shut my computer off overnight - which is rare.

 

[claphamsa]

i dunno waht irc is.... stoopid computers, are you ever on IM? im claphamsa!

 

[98EXL]

The 98EXL casa is always open...and my garden is alive and kickin too....I think my Chinook is almost 10 feet tall, it's crazy!

 

[jezter6]

Well then, since 98EXL is more central to the DC beltway folks - I'm game.

lets here some energy wooo!

Everyone who is comgin got directions?

 

[Orpheus]

Thanks for the invite! I didn't realize this was happening until today via PM. My Saturday's already filled, but keep me in mind if this ever happens again.

 

[jezter6]

postpone?
or do it?
I'm open to either, but I need to know asap.

 

[claphamsa]

no interest????????????? we can postpone a month or so?

 

[jezter6]

I say we have to postpone a minimum of two weeks.

Let's get a plan together and everyone knows a week ahead that it's still on and what's gonna get brewed.

 

[claphamsa]

ok, I can do that.... how about 3 weeks

ill be at a wedding in 2

 

[98EXL]

Lets postpone then, 3 weeks?

 

[DraconianHand]

The 19th of July? Works for me.

 

[jezter6]

I'm down for 19 July

 

[claphamsa]

thus spoke jezerthustra!

 

[jezter6]

Until thus UNSPOKEN jezerthustra who says the 19th is no longer good because he has to go get fitted for a tux for his buddy's wedding that day.

 

[claphamsa]

thats what morning are for man!

 

[98EXL]

so 19th?

10 chars

 

[claphamsa]

k works for me!

kthxbai

 

[jezter6]

My plans have likely changed and I look to be free on the 19th.

Let's confirm asap and start getting a list of things to grab for the day.

What's do we want to make? With hops still at $$$/oz, I'd prefer we stick to less hoppy brew. Seems like a good time to make a nice hefe?

 

[claphamsa]

u always say that! then again, im loving the flat witt......

also,... if we have a couple of keggles done then we can do a couple 10 gallon batches..... I could make a wit and a something else.

 

[jezter6]

We did wit the last time, and I love me some hefe.

What about a bunch of english mild or some of the lighter pale ale like Magic Hat #9?

 

[98EXL]

what about getting ready for October?

 

[claphamsa]

I can go with an octoberfest...... and a weizen......

 

[98EXL]

mmmmm, Octoberfest...I can't wait, it's the best time of the year

 

[adx]

I should be able to make it. I can donate some hops. I'll have to look through my freezer, but I know I have a couple ounces of some of the rarer varieties

 

[jezter6]

I'm down with some octoberfest as well!!!

I got base grains pretty well covered I think (2-row, Pils, Munich). If we need any vienna, that will be good.

I can supply my own hops as well for my batch, I'll have to check on how much I have for others.

I will be bringing some Wit (if it lasts), some Pale Ale, and will have my recently tapped Kolsch. The alt will not be ready by that point.

 

[claphamsa]

ill bring some beer... I have a decent if ecclectic supply of hops.

looks like its planning for october!
