Yep I've been working on cleaning up bottles for about a week now, although I still don't have enough. I'd also like to get the beer into bottles about 4 weeks ahead of time. Shouldn't be too difficult since the brews I'm working on have relatively short fermentation times. I'm going to...

I also have a 3-car garage that is excellent for brewing, and it's getting warm enough out that I'll be able to leave the doors open so I won't choke myself to death!

My biggest concern right now is figuring out how to move 426 or so bottle 50 miles to the reception place. My current running idea is to make crates that will hold 6 six-packs each. I figure that it won't be too expensive to make around 12 crates out of pine. Anyone have any thoughts on that...

Yeah, I'd love to be able to keg for this, but alas, I cannot. My fiancee only approved of this last week or so, and the wedding is in two months! Too late to change the reception hall, I suppose. I've got two brothers that I live with who will gladly help, and I've got people saving up bottles...

Also, I've only done 3 AG brews so far, so how much this stuff doesn't cost hasn't really set in yet. For 40 gallons of beer, I think I only spent $115 on ingredients. Far less than my last Guinness keg!

And it's AZ_IPA for the win! Pretty much doing your exact recommendation.. 10 gal Cream of Three Crops 10 gal Centennial Blond 10 gal Bee Cave Brewery Haus Ale 5 gal Tap Room American Brown Ale 5 gal Irish Red Might throw in some sort of Stout if I can fit it in. I got me a big ol' couple of...

Well thank you sir!

Thanks everyone for your suggestions! I'm going through them all right now and will let the winner know shortly.

I appreciate your possibly useless post, if for no other reason than I thought your name was Bennigan's, and I had a delicious Monte Cristo 'sandwich' there one time. However, I for some reason feel obliged to defend my loosely related clan of Iowegians. Point 1; I feel that it is my job...

You guys are too fast. That's actually a pretty good thing, because I probably need to order stuff tonight.

Well sure, but I want proven delicious. And I gots like 9 weeks!

Cream ale sounds like a good idea. I just kegged a hefeweizen a couple of days ago...it tasted damn good warm and flat. Answer #1: I'd love to be able to keg it, but our reception hall doesn't allow kegs. I got the go ahead on bottles. Sounds like a rough couple of weekends, but Ive got some...

Well we'll just have to wait and see. If those came with recipes you'd have a better case. Sidebar, I love Stout. Stout stout stout, in my belly.

No problem with permits, we're not selling. At least that's my understanding...
