Hey Kids,
So its that time again, time for the planning, the BS-ing and the breathless anticipation that leads up to Masstoberfest. Saturday, September 16, 2017 is the big day. It was 11 years ago when three guys came over to my house to learn how to do an all grain brew. It was a freezing ass cold day but we brewed, we laughed, we ate, and we had a blast. So we decided to do it again the following year. And lo, unto them was born a tradition.
Heres the drill Gather up your brew rig, as simple or complex as it is. We have everything from BIAB zealots to multi-vessel HERMS rigs with flux capacitors set to deliver 1.21 gigawats of juice. Smurf and PTO have brewed Steinbeers for years, Im hoping Yeager steps up and takes over for the late PTO and the tradition continues. One year Dakota set a world record for an all grain brew in under 2 hours, all while wearing a tuxedo enroute the ballet.
Im cooking pork butts, briskets and turkeys in the smoker and there will be pizzas from that beautiful hunk of masonry by the pond. Bringing some of your beer to share is the norm, Ill have two or three cornies, with room on the jockey box for more.
And of course, there is the most covetted prize in Home brewing, The Masstoberfest Cup, awarded to a brewer who best demonstrates the spirit of Masstoberfest. (In other words, manages to not knock over somebody elses Mash Tun and doesnt boil over.) Previous winners include Mort, the_bird, Melana, DaddyMem and our very own adopted Masshole, Yooper.
OK, so let the lying, the ball busting and the bullsh!tting commence.
