A memorial beer for GreenwoodRover?

[mmb]

I'm doing this up over the weekend. Marathon brewing, I've got 4 batches on the docket.

 

[IrregularPulse]

I seriously need to do a marathon brew someday!! I'd definitely want to do nothing the next day, but having 20G (limit of my current fermenters) of wort at the end of a day would be sweet!!

Just finished brewing up 11 gallons of Shiver Me Bitters. Though I did not sign up for the swap, I felt I should still brew this. I made some minor changes, subbing Willamette for the Fuggles(bought a lb of Willamette), using all Maris Otter for the base malt, and using US-05 insted of US-04. I don't think Rover would have minded. Cant wait till this one is ready.

11 gallons? You could still send 3 bottles to the Greenwood Rovers or the family!

If I could still sign up I'd definitely do it. I just missed out on the swap somehow. Whoever is in charge of the swap, if I could get involved in it, please let me know. PM would be good. I don't even care about getting someone else's brew in return(though it would be cool). Let me know if it's still possible.

 

[olllllo]

It's still open. PM sent.

Same here Although I did forget to take off my makeshift travel stopper when I got home and in the middle of the night it ended up exploding off the carboy. Found it across the room in the recycling bin. Perfect aim! It was at that point I decided an airlock would be a better idea than an airtight stopper.

Took a sneak peak a little while ago. Fermentation is complete and its crystal clear.

Was a timeline or due date ever stated for this beer? I'm trying to coordinate my aging/kegging schedule for this and a Smoked Porter swap.

 

[Laughing_Gnome_Invisible]

Two weeks in the fermenter, I sneaked a taste today. Very nice!

 

[andysim]

Put mine in the fermenter this morning.

S-04 is bubbling like crazy.:rockin:

 

[bernerbrau]

I'm bottling this next weekend so there's time to condition. At what point do we find out more about the exchange?

 

[shecky]

Finally got around to brewing this today.

Since I am an idiot, would the two people that answered this form and DID NOT see HBT Name as a required field, please PM me your responses. One of you said maybe, let me know who that was.

I forgot to add that relevant piece of info.

 

[Gremlyn]

The form showed up in your e-mail without the name requirement... When I click the link to the actual form it is there. I was the one who said 'Maybe...'

 

[olllllo]

Ok, we good now. Thanks.

 

[IrregularPulse]

very cool with the forms olllllo...I never know if I should capitalize your name! i know it's proper, but it takes away the idea of the name!

This being an internet forum, I believe handles are to be capitalized or not capitalized based on what their profile shows.

Case in point you seem to be the only person who capitalizes the B in Brownie.

Going to bottle with this either this weekend or the next. 3-4 weeks should be fine for conditioning... though it seems other people here are just getting started.

This doesn't apply. Brownie is nowhere in your Profile


Bt we're getting off topic I suppose.
I should be getting my GWR ESB into secondary for gelatin this weekend, then into keg and on gas next week.

 

[Gremlyn]

Starter is started, ready to brew up tomorrow!

Does this mean that if we haven't gotten an email yet, something went wrong with our registration?

PM me your email. You were on the list. I'll resend it.

Hi everyone,

I just wanted to pop in to thank you for your continued support. The sheer number of you that are brewing up the Greenwood Rover memorial beer is touching, and so appreciated. Kevin would have been incredibly honored.

Your contributions to the memorial trust set up for my children mean more to us than you can imagine. It amazes me that so many people are willing to reach out to us in that way - you really have a terrific community here.

We continue to miss Kev, and struggle to move on without him, but the kindnes of people like all of you makes it easier.

Laura Dennis - (Mrs. Greenwood Rover)

Here's where we stand right now. I'm waiting for some more status on a few people. By next week, I'll be forced to do the swaps and forward the shipping info to you. I know you've all been patiently waiting. I feel it's best to get accurate information about who is ready then do the swap assignments now.

On track for Oct 24 shipping

We have one official drop with good reason, we won't discuss that any further.

 

[Gremlyn]

I can make shipping out by Oct 24th if I do a 3 week primary and two week carb in the bottles. Think that'll be enough? I guess the shipping time will push it closer to 2.5-3 weeks in the bottles by the time it arrives where it is going.
