A memorial beer for GreenwoodRover?

[Saccharomyces]

If I got run over by a bus tomorrow, I would be honored to have a beer brewed for me... I think this is a very fitting tribute. I'm in.

 

[OLB]

Count me in for whatever is decided on.

Kevin was in the Kolsch swap and included his recipe for an ESB that he sent in the swap. I need to dig that up when I get home tonight. I never pitch any recipes but my filing system is lacking... any other kolsch swappers have a copy?
That will need to be my next batch....

I have the exact same problem as you. If you find it, could you post the recipe? If I do, I'll do the same. It was a really great ESB even though I didn't get an official chance to review it.

Found the recipe sheet. Kevin included a copy of the Brewsmith brewsheet with the swap. As such, I don't have an IBU number...

I put it in BeerSmith. You can download the recipe here.

Thanks Rick.

Any other ideas for a fitting tribute?

GreenwoodRover - Shiver Me Bitters - Memorial Swap?

 

[IrregularPulse]

Was this a completed recipe or was he tweaking it? I thought I'd seen mention of a final recipe he'd been tweaking.or was that different. Would it be disrepectful to change the yeast on this? Or kind of in the spirit of homebrewing. I want to try a Belgian Strain and this looks like a decent recipe for that.

This sounds like a good idea.

I think he would have enjoyed the idea of all of us putting our own touches on the recipe and doing variations on the theme.

No problem!

Agreed. He never struck me as a stickler for a posted recipe...

Thanks for entering that in Rick.

Just thought I'd post it in all the threads.

If anyone hasn't given already, pleas do....https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f19/greenwoodrover-donations-131666/

As someone said in that thread, college ain't cheap.

Does anyone want to step forward and take up the memorial brew as a project? We could use a leader, I think. Whatever we decide on, I think we need a unified label for the brew as it will hopefully get passed around. If the brew is going to be different in every case, then a label for the back with a printed recipe too maybe.

Project leader please?

 

[IrregularPulse]

I'll take a stab at a label today. Not much of an organizer though. I know there are much better label makers than I too.
I Vote for going ahead with the bitter recipe feeling free to alter it via yeast, hop availability and what not.

I found his social club logo and as you can see I've changed my avatar.

I suggest that we change out avatars in some way to honor Kevin through the end of this month.

I'm up for it, but I can't seem to grab or save that as an avatar. The big pic is too large, and for some reason I can't seem to save it, and your own avatar has the wrong file extension.

Can you help an idiot out and post an easily usable pic?

Gnomey, right click on the one ollllo posted. Go to save picture as, save it to your desktop, then go to your user cp and edit avatar. Go to browse and upload it from your desktop.

Are we doing the same one or making our own? I'm just altering mine to reflect it. I use avatars to reference who is positing what. Everyone having the same avatar would throw me off severly.

I was thinking the same thing but I couldn't really come up with anything.

 

[IrregularPulse]

I just altered my current one so people could still recognize the avatar

Can't really tell but it says Greenwood Rover Memorium up top

 

[IrregularPulse]

Why don't we just add that Crest in the bottom corner of our current avatar? Discrete like a black arm band.

 

[Laughing_Gnome_Invisible]

This is the first time I ever changed my Avatar. Kevin's kids had bloody well better get through college, or I will give them a spanking!.

 

[humann_brewing]

I think it shows unity for our cause.

P.S. I am in for this brew too. I have a few other skills too if there are other things that need to be done.

Yup, back on topic. I think a memorial brew would be great. But we REALLY do need someone to take charge and make it official.

 

[olllllo]

I'd love to take up the cause and arrange a swap, but unfortunately I am out of town every weekend this month and 3 of 4 in September including 5 days for GABF.

I just don't think I can give this the attention that it needs.

Maybe BierMuncher?

 

[Edcculus]

I'd like to be in on the project, but I can't organize

 

[IrregularPulse]

I like what you're all doing with the shields.

Here's my contribution to the project. Will take recommendations and won't be offended it completely rejected.

I don't know if it is appropriate for a memorial brew, but it was his avatar....

I'd like to say I hate it, but I can't.

That is what I see when his name comes up. Perfect IMO! Unless, of course someone messes with the fonts etc. A great start for sure.

PS Maybe a black border?

 

[GilaMinumBeer]

I didn't know the guy, and it may be innapropriate, but if it were me I would find some humor in a play on words about "coming for the Angels Share" added to that label.

Just a thought.

 

[IrregularPulse]

I can change fonts and add font just let me know which ones. I didn't want to go through every font in gimp and look at them so if you have a favorite, mention it.

 

[IrregularPulse]

That's why I used it. Really all I know about him. I was going to use the pic of him with the fish in his Groups Profile, but most of us know him as this more.
