Originally I wan't going to post this, but after looking at the scant amount of information out there I thought it might encourage others to do the same.
OK, so this October I am getting married and SWMBO gave me the go-ahead to brew ALL of the beer for the wedding, 160 people or so attending.
Since we decided I was going to brew, I have increased my corny collection from 5 to 11 kegs. I have a single-tap kegerator which I plan to use, but I also plan to build a tap-board of sorts by mounting picnic taps somehow (to be determined).
As for the beer, in order to try and please everyone I came up with a beer list that is pretty diverse.
As of today this is how it stands:
Coffee Oatmeal Stout 6.5% ABV
(blended with some remaining barrel-aged imperial stout and a blonde roast coffee from a local micro-roaster)
Irish Red Ale 6% ABV
Oktoberfest with Wyeast California Lager yeast, still lagering but guessing 5%ABV
Saison
That's what I have brewed, all in 5 gallon batches. Today and tomorrow I plan to brew a hop-bomb Double IPA and a Pumpkin Lager on the Cal Lager yeast cake.
Two weeks from now I will have my last brew day before the festivities. I am planning to do an American Pale Ale with homegrown hops and a German Dunkelweissen.
It will be in the fall so I am trying to brew seasonally-appropriate, keeping in mind there not everyone will be as excited for a 100 IBU, 7 variety Imperial IPA.
In the manic next few weeks I will try an keep this updated to the best of my ability.
