Done.
Hey All-
I'm interested in attending and maybe brewing. I don't have many posts under my belt but I have brewed about 40 gallons this summer (paltry I know compared to some of you--but I just started AG on April 30) and I follow the board quite regularly. I'd love to attend and put some faces with names and learn more about brewing.
Thanks,
Dtrain
Yeah, a paltry amount! :eyeroll (we really need one of these on here!
)That's about what I usually make all year!
Tell you what- I'm NOT brewing. It's just too far and my car is too small to haul my stuff. But, if you want, you could bring your stuff and I could "help" you brew? I drink, though, so I don't know how helpful I'll be...............
Don't let her fool you. Last time she said she was going to brew (it was at her house!) and other people ended up doing all the brewing. Let me play psychic and predict that Yooper will be eating, drinking, and chatting. And once in a while wander over and chat with the people brewing. Ok, so I guess this could count as helping brew beer...
Actually, it sounds an awful lot like what I've done the past 2 brewdays! :cross:
Trust me, I'm continually amazed that someone hasn't hired out on him at some point in his career!
I think he's actually gotten a bit mellower in his old age. I know he's had some work done, and he probably keeps a large stash of blue pills on hand.
Plus, he's having a new baby very soon! Yep, can't hardly believe it. His hot, 30something trophy wife (number 4 I think?) is expecting. (although if I were him, I'd have a test done when it's born...)
Well, my "consultation services" could be worth something you know!
Besides, I may not brew beer but I am FUNNY!

Just noticed your in G.H.
Yeah. I hang out at Odd Side Ales quite a bit.
I work up in Muskegon at the community college.
Thinking I will bring a keg of IPA with us. I might have to pull it from the keezer to ensure that I don't drink all of it before the 18th. Otherwise I can bring an ESB or Yooper's Brew Day Amber. Not sure what the preferred beverage would be (mine is IPA), but all three are good.
I'm considering brewing an Smoked English Barleywine. Would need to pick up some apple wood for the smoker to smoke some Maris Otter. I guess we will see depending on how motivated I am after working 60hrs+.
Also, Heather and I will most likely bring along the tent just in case there is some swinger action going on, jk....... well, not really.

There is little chance of difficulty in becoming unclothed here, but if you need help, just ask. We may have to put some people to be bed anyway.
oh oh oh, a brew day I didn't miss?
Perry? I could practically walk home! Count me very interested.

Oh, it would be great to see you two again! Especially Jen......
COOL!
I hope to see you there!
I think I'll get the award again for the "furthest distance traveled to drink beer at HH's".

Another Grand Havenite going--cool! How many people are camping? Is it tents only?
Thinking of coming down Friday and staying the night instead of making a day trip on Saturday.

Weather will probably be the only limiting factor. There is room for whatever you want to pitch, drive or tow.
Count you interested? Dude, this is a must!
Of course the beer will be great, but the food!!! And good people. And if you look closely, you might even find some beer being made.
I'm still trying to figure out how to make it. But the wife has already turned down some other offers on that weekend due to that work thing, so I think they are gearing up for that and we are still required to attend.

When you are creative enough to invent a family emergency out of town, Young Grasshopper, you are ready to leave.
HBT is family, right?

LOL!
The problem, as I see it, is that you guys have managed to marry women smarter than you. That's usually a great advantage, and quite an accomplishment, but it means that the SWMBOs can see right through your "creativity".
Seriously, this is going to be another great time. Bob and I will stop at a grocery store on Saturday morning and grab something for the grill. I'll also try to bring something that can last for a week in the car during the trip. It'll be a surprise for all of us when I figure out what I'm bringing!

First, don't mistake controlling manipulation for intelligence-it's generally just easier to kowtow(see SWMBO), and carefully choose your battles.
Second, the creativity was to be directed at the creeper employer, and CERTAINLY NOT to untruthfully represent events to a partner. That is just wrong.
Ah. Thank makes sense. Carefully choosing battles is truly the secret to a happy marriage.

Cool. We are in the process of buying a pop-up camper right now. Might be nice to use it for a night. Might be able to convince SWMBO to go with me now.

To those making plans to attend: I'd like to once again ask that you not bring kids to this event. Myself and some of those in attendance want this to be an ADULT day, with certain ADULT language and ADULT behavior. My apologies to those that this causes any difficulty, but it is really in the best interest of everyone, trust me.
To anyone bringing a camper: I'll set you up on the concrete parking pad in front of my barn and you can plug into power from there.
To those Tenting: I May be able to find additional outlets to feed a ceramic heater if you have one to bring. It would help also if you could bring your own extension cords, so your nocturnal screams would be less noticeable to others.
