A four batch day

[TomRep]

Hey all! Intending to do a four batch day today. Just mashed in at 7:20est for the first batch. i'm making: 11 gal Centennial wheat, 6 gal Amarillo IPA, 11 gal Amarillo/Citra PA, and 6 gal of an ESB, all my recipes. The hitch is I have to be done and cleaned up by 7pm for a poker night here at the house. Wish me luck!

That is ambitious.... I hope you have multiple burners.

 

[passedpawn]

Wow, good luck. Might be tough fitting in that 4th one. Do you have help?

 

[TomRep]

I have three burners and yes I have help. I know the 4th will be tight, but we'll see!

 

[IrregularPulse]

you are the man. Good luck. I'd love to knock out 34G in one day!

 

[Revvy]

Geez. Good luck. Most I've done on a day was a partigyle, or brewed a batch and bottled 2 during the same time.

Just remember on batch 4 to pitch the yeast before you collapse from exhaustion.

 

[TomRep]

Thanks guys! Going smooth so far. 10 minutes left on the batch sparge for the first batch, grains crushed and hops weighed for the second. I'll keep updating as I go if you all are interested.

Not like you don't have enough to do, but;

I'm particularly interested in disasters, so please elaborate on those in depth. And "pichers" would be great, too. A live video feed would be nice too, if that isn't too difficult

 

[TomRep]

if you can tell me how to do a live video, I could. I have a webcam on this laptop. Hopefully, no disasters

We need a link with "channel" in it.

 

[TomRep]

Any idea how to get a link with the channel in it? I can't seem to find it.

Update on the process, minor didsaster, if you want to call it that. Forgot to tighten the cap on the iodine and spilled a bit on the table. So far: first batch boiling with about 20 mins to go, second batch mashing with about 30 minutes to go, grains crushed and hops weighed for the third batch.

[skeeordye11]

Well, it was working.

 

[TomRep]

try now guys. Sorry, running around like a nut at the moment

 

[JOHN51277]

I just got on ustream and can see it fine!

 

[TomRep]

good to know! first batch done and in the fermenter, second sparging at the moment. I think I'm only going to get three in but we'll see. If I had one more keggle I'd be good to go.

 

[stubbornman]

Must be mashing? I'm tuned in!!!

 

[TomRep]

actually sparging yet. About 15 minutes to go then there will be some action.

 

[mullenite]

I mentioned this in the video chat but nice music! Brings me back.

Also, what is your mash tun?

 

[Whut]

I'm tuned in as well.

 

[Mischief_Brewing]

Worthless without smell-o-vision!

You should be fine with all 4 batches as long as you wait until batch #4 to start drinking...

 

[TomRep]

nope, cracked the first beer at 8:20am! We are pacing ourselves though. Mash tun is a heg as well. you'll see it in a bit here. hope to be doughing in in about 25 minutes.

 

[starrfish]

hoping to get 2 done this weekend and bottle 2...
