    daevidallen and I met at Brew Brothers... but we didn't see anyone else while we were there. Just to make sure we're all on the same page, exactly when and where are we meeting for dump day? Also, are we still able to account for all the volume needed? I wonder if we lost some participants...

    Want to make some sour beer? Join my wine-barrel project in the Portland area.

    We didn't get up to the 1-bag quantity on the spreadsheet, so I assume not enough people are attending today to split up a bag. Therefore, yes, we're doing individual purchases; at least on the grain and yeast (and I think hops, but am less certain of that). Speaking of today, I'll be wearing a...

    Okay... even with veganbrewer it looks like we don't really have enough people today to do a bulk grain-buy (electric is pulling from his virtual pilsner). That said, I'm going to place my individual order on brewbrother's website. I still plan to show up at or around 1pm. Veganbrewer, where...

    Want to make some sour beer? Join my wine-barrel project in the Portland area.

    I think most of us need our grain milled; the point of the spreadsheet is to see if we can't buy bags of grain for the cheaper price. Could you add your order to the list? Not sure why halloran isn't using the 60/40 ratio put forward by TVB... maybe his process necessitates it? (Not...

    Orchestrating the grain-buy: Google Docs Spreadsheet Please, make changes as you see fit to anything on this file (treat it as yours). Just to throw a time out there... how about Saturday, 1pm at Brew Brothers?

    Excellent, I'm officially on the same page again :)

    If everyone pitches with a bottle of their favorite dregs... isn't that going to result in something all over the map bug-wise? I'm confused... let's see if I have this right: Some number of us are picking up grain this weekend. We are not doing our own primary Therefore our brewday will...

    I'm down for either day at really any time. So to be perfectly clear, what's the non-turbid grain bill (by %) and what's the target OG? For non-turbid, shall we mash at something in the middle of the road (say, 153)? Are we pitching our own yeast or waiting until "dump day" to pitch yeast...

    FWIW, I'm still in for my part (thanks for the PM, vb). I'm available on all the dates mentioned above so whenever you folks like I'll be there. I'm not sure I can do a turbid mash, as I have only one kettle and one burner (http://i.imgur.com/wVO9Isz.jpg) ...my kettle doubles as the HLT and I...

    I hope I'm not overstepping... it sounds like there are enough participants and maybe lambic is the general vibe? What's next? Nailing down a recipe? Setting a timeline or schedule for brewing and combining? Are we combining (most of) the wort into veganbrewer's 55gal or are we combining after...

    That... sounds like a post-boil gravity to me. Or I'm not thinking big enough!

    It seems that if we forego spontaneous fermentation, aged hops are less imperative: No Need for Aged Hops ...I have no first-hand knowledge of such things though, it just sounds like an option. As for buying 2-3 bags of grain, are we going to have the LHBS mill it for us? I've a hunch I'm not...

    I've been meaning to join HBT for a long long time now; better late than never! I would love to contribute 5 (or 5.5) gallons. I do not have any experience brewing sours. My wife votes Lambic, but I'm happy to go along with whatever the group decides. If anyone is in Aloha (near the high...
