Didn't try, went last year. Beer fest's are all the same, $40-$50 to be bloated for the next 4 hours, bleh.
 
I'm headed from home (Fairbanks, AK) to knoxville on 10 Mar, anyone up for a brew swap?

Before this gets moved, it seemed appropriate for the whole Tennessee thing.

I lived in Lewisburg when I was 2 or 3, does that help?
 
Great to see everyone today... sorry to those who missed out on an awesome, yet chilly day. Thanks Bertsbeer for hosting us!

Here's a pic of Stevo mashing in...

Butter IPA? It sucks I'm sick, I hope my beer made up for it. I'm sure it was better company than I would have been.
 
LoL! I thoroughly enjoyed getting out to meet you guys, I had a blast! I definitely have to remember to eat something before a get together like that... i honestly didn't expect everyone to be so generous in bringing booze (though i'm really not sure why i didn't expect it from homebrewers) and thought i'd be okay on an empty stomach... WRONG. Once I got home I fell asleep and only woke up intermittently until now. Lol.

Lots of great beers, good company, and a boat load of laughs -- I look forward to the next time we can get together!
 
Also, thanks to everyone who helped split up the grain! You guys rock. :rockin:

Stevo... It was good to see you man... I didn't think you would make it since your DMS was flaring up.
 
Thanks to Bertsbeer for hosting the split. I had a great time meeting everyone and sharing beer and laughter. I wish the commute wasn't such a b**ch!
Paul, thanks for not showing and giving me the honor of being the oldest f**k there!
 
Jim!!! Awesome host Brad and Steve and whoever helped split. Grassiass!!! Thanks for all the wonderful beers and laughs everyone!!!

Oh... And Steve.. How many of these went into the primary on that Hopslam clone??

Csuho did most of the work.

And let's not forget Bobby and Dave for setting it up. Thanks guys.

+1 on the thanks to Bertsbeer....and for having that giant heater.. damn it was cold!
If think you can rest easy Volsfan you weren't even close to being the Oldest f*** there..got you beat by 5 or 6 years easy.
Hopefully we can pick a warm day for the hop splits...:mug:
 
Great get-together Saturday even if I had to duck out a bit early. It was good to get some feedback on my brew and meet some new faces. Much thanks to all the guys who did the planning and heavy lifting, and I hope they got to take home a couple of my leftover bottles.

That said, I'm terrible with names. Who all remembers talking to me? I know I spoke with Jim (bertsbeer), Billy (maffewl), Stevo, paparker (name?), a guy who's not on HBT who heard about the swap from Csuho, an older guy named Mark, and a tall younger-looking blond guy who was talking about his efficiency problems.

I was the guy with the mousy unshowered hair (I was in a rush bottling off the keg that morning) and the funky pilsner.

Sorta feels like Missed Connections on Craigslist.

Hopefully we get hops before July!! They must be making them one pellet at a time.

Yeah, at the rate we're going my bines will be year 4 before we get the hop buy sorted out.
 
Bad news berner... as I was leaving, I heard your jars rattling in my back seat. I stopped the car and opened the door to re-adjust them and splash... two of them crashed onto the asphalt. :( I was able to keep one from falling, I think it was the 810. Sorry they had to go out like that.
 
I would also like to thank Paul. This guy is now coming down with the flu and feels like garbage. :(

I knew I shouldn't have sucked the foam off the top of those growlers before capping. :eek:

I believe that's what did it. ;) I don't know if it came from you or not, but I feel horrible and have 3 deadlines to meet by Wed. I think I'm going to have to pull a late nighter while it's developing so that I can face the music in the next couple days.
 
Volsfan thanks again for getting my grain. I see why you want me to ride with next time. I'll take care of the old part for sure.
 
Just seeing if anyone local is interested in a Northern Brewer Bavarian Hefeweisen extract kit before I put it in the classifieds section. I was going to brew it for my wife, turns out she doesn't like hefeweisen (she is new to craft beer drinking) and I don't like hefe's enough to drink five gallons of one. Figure 20 bucks for the kit. has yeast and priming sugar.
 
Is it true hefe yeast? You can brew it with a neutral yeast like 05 and it will taste nothing like that nasty stuff, it would be similar to a blue moon.
 
It came with safale us05. is that the one you are talking about? If so, then I could get behind that. I am just not a huge fan of banana beer.
 
safale us05 will not ferment out with banna flavors. make sure you ferment at 65-68 F and you shouldnt get any fruity notes from it.
 
Heck, throw a 1/2 ounce of cascade or amarillo in if you have it at 15 minutes, and make a pale wheat. yum
 
cool. I will have to go pick some up. I only have the two ounces for dry hopping my ipa at the moment.
 
Cool. Do you think orange peel and coriander would be good in it? (never made one before)

That would be a basic blue moon clone, there's a recipe on here from a guy who used to work at Coors, i'll try to find it. If you did that, I think you would just skip the 15 min addition.

Blue Moon Belgian White was first sold commercially as Belly Slide Belgian White at the SandLot Brewery at Coors Field during the 1995 opening season.

We did do a little fine tuning of the recipe, which was developed by Dr. Keith Villa of Coors R&D. Mostly to do with the ratio of Orange Peel to Corriander.

The amounts of grains we used are roughly:
50% 2 row pale malt. (The first couple of batches were made with Great Western)
40% white wheat malt
10% flaked oats.

Hallertauer Mittelfrueh hops were added for a 90 minute boil. Bittering should be around 17.5 IBU. Only one addition.

Blue Moon has always used pre-ground corriander and Valencia orange peel. Keith did not want the bitterness of Curacao oranges. He preferred the sweetness of the ground Valencia.

Try 1.25 tsp of ground corriander added to the kettle 10 minutes before the end of boil. This is for a 5-6 gallon batch.

Add 0.33tsp of ground Valencia orange peel 5 minutes before the end of boil.

The Chico strain would work well in this recipe. You want a neutral taste from the yeast. Keith has said that the flavors that should come through are the orange peel and corriander, not the yeast.

Be careful when lautering. I have made this recipe and some variations of it in three different pubs, with three different systems. I usually have trouble and end up sticking the mash. Run off very slowly.
