Mission success - got all the grain in without any notice from the wife 
Downside is... going to have to brew at least 2-3 batches to make it appear as if I haven't added anything to the grain store in the basement! Great problem to have.
I think I am going to do Kate the Great (imperial stout), Denny Bourbon Vanilla Porter. If I get to a third I might do an UBU clone.

that should kill a bag with ease..... if your doing 11 gal batches... that's easily 30lbs of grain just for the denny's

Yeah the Kate the Great is 34lbs of 2row, just the base malt!!
I figured I should get some big brews going to clear out some grain and keep the winter chill off

Hey, I acquired a few of these....
http://www.displays2go.com/Product.aspx?ID=948
They're just like this but have black trim. They are in very used shape and were used to dispense coffee beans. I grabbed them thinking of using them for light use grains where you only need .5 or 1lb or so. Problem is I don't have a designated brew area and I don't really brew often enough to use them. Does anyone use anything like this for grain?

Maybe I'll try a quick cleaning on one and see what happens. Maybe I'll throw them up for sale. Really don't see myself ever using them. I'll never have a brew room.

those are actually awesome idea.. even if you only buy couple lbs at a time... as you use it and put your "new" inventory on top you get rid of your older back stock first...

Rust, earliest would be 630. Cant jet out early today.

Here's what it looks like - haven't cleaned it yet. Inerweb search show this may hold 2 gallons. So I'm guessing somewhere between 5-10 pounds of grain. Just thought of this - how great would they look holding whole cone hops!!!

If you can do it, I would greatly appreciate it! I wouldn't be able to make it out that way for a while. Work is killing me, I got to drive to Maine and back before Sunday. Tomorrow is gonna suck.
I'll throw some $$ your way for gas. Thanks.

DUDE!! looks like we have to go salmon fishing at some point! haha
Great fish and seeing that is worth the trip. Didn't you say you would give me your first catch??
In the event of the apocalypse we will eat, and certainly drink... well!
man,... seeing that makes me think how much I want to take half of that and put it in my smoker

Ha - I will never turn you down on that one!
Seriously, that would be great - the wife's favorite is salmon so you would be in good with her
I just sat down and poured a tall one. Thinking of whether i should make my ale fermentation chamber tonight or tomorrow while I do a double brew...

Now that is an honest man (pour a pitcher). Me, I pretend I will have less by pouring into a 20oz English pub glass... several times. haha
Enjoy - I am off to cut up some stuff for my ale chamber!

that fish put up a hell of a fight.. i think i fought it for a good 20 - 30 min... forearms were dead! it was about 30-34" and about 25lbs
BIG BEER! use some of that grain up! when i come home next im thinking of doing a wee heavy
Anybody in the group have a good recipe for a Nut Brown Ale? One of the first beers I had way back in the 80's that made me say WOW, now THIS is great beer was Samuel Smiths Nut Brown Ale.
I'd like to take a crack at something like this on my next brew, given I just did an English IPA (still in the primary) and I want to stay on an English Beer theme.
