Ah, I just remembered I will be busy that weekend. Wish I could join you! If this goes well, maybe we can plan another one before the summer is over.
Anyone in NE Ohio wanna join me for a brew?

Eddculus can't make it so you can partake in half of my 10 gallons.

That works for me. It will be awesome to drive home with 5 gallons of wort in the passenger seat.

The 30th looks good for me! I've never done AG before and would like to see the process. What time are we talking about? PM me some directions. I don't have much in the way of equipment, but anything you need let me know.
Sounds like a blast!

Anyone interested can PM me for directions. I would like to start at 10:00am so we can have a boil by 12:00 - 1:00 and relax with some pizza or something else that can be delivered.
Let me know,
Oh, and I would be up for another batch on 6/13 maybe???

Man... I wish I saw this thread yesterday. Just made a monster Green Flash IPA clone yesterday in Euclid. Tried getting one of my buddies to come over and enjoy the process but everyone was a no-show. Haven't met any other HBers here in the NE Ohio area....
I'm actually originally from Concord and I'm up at Spuddy's and Headwaters every once in a while still. Actually, just picked up a chest freezer from a guy in MOTL on Friday for $50.00. Getting the kegging equipment in today from Midwest.
We'll have to all get together sometime and do a big brew off. You said that the brewmaster from WBC would possibly attend... I'm thinking you try to convince him to allow us to have a brewing party either on the back patio or even in the parking lot. I'm sure that there would be a good turn out and I'm sure WBC would just love to have a bunch of HBers out there bringing people in to check it out.

Ahhhh,... I would of been there!
I will talk to him about it. The thing is he is a brewer that does it for the job, not because he is really into brewing. He just kinda was tossed into the position last year after working there for years. He hates tours because he gets bugged the whole time with questions while he is trying to make a batch so I am not too sure how interested he would be in doing that but we can ask him if he shows up pending he is not brewing that morning.
So are you interested in stopping by?

There might only be a couple people coming for a brew day this Saturday but I thought I would throw another post up in case someone missed this thread earlier.
I have 1 person in with me for 10 gallons and maybe another on a separate rig. There might be a couple others stopping by to check it out and mooch off the homebrew. :cross: (You all know how those non-homebrewer promises are though.)
I would like to start at 10:00am.

I'm looking forward to it. See you Saturday.
I just made my first batch (extract) two weeks ago. I would be interested in seeing the AG process as I plan on going that route in the future, unfortunately I'm busy this weekend. I ordered some golding and cascade rhizomes so hopefully I'll have some home grown hops in the fall. Maybe could set something up for the end of summer?

I am also brewing sometime during next week. Maybe an Imperial Stout. You are welcome to check out the process then. After that I will probably brew every other week.

I'll be there for sure! Is there anything I can bring? I don't have much in the way of equipment (I'm PMing at the moment), but any snacks or anything? Don't want to be a moocher ya know

You can do a partial mash at my house with your equipment if you want. The more the better!
Bring what you want though. Homebrew? A six pack of something interesting?
We can order pizza for lunch...

I can do a brew day anytime. Just let me know!
Saturday will now be 2 batches for me. 10gallons with LakeErieBrew and 10gallons immediately after with my neighbor that brews. I have 2 starters of 1056 going right now to be ready for tomorrow's festivities.:rockin:

Probably a silly question but if I do my PM at your place would I just pitch my starter when I get the wort home? I'm about 40 minutes from you, so I think the wort would be ok for the ride. I'll bring my stuff: gas, burner, brewpots, cooler, etc.
Thanks man, can't wait.

You could do it either way. I'm going to pitch and then drive home shortly after. Hopefully it doesn't take off like crazy. I'm about an hour away.

Thanks TommyBoy for a great brewday!! I had a blast! I'll post some of the pics I took as soon as my wife shows me how to download them. We will definitely have to do that again. You and LakeErieBrew certainly showed me that even I can jump into AG.
Thanks again.
Thanks again.

Your welcome. Yesterday was cool and I am definitely up for many more of those. Maybe late June and late July. I was pretty beat after the second batch. I would like to get a couple more people/rigs going next time.

Tommy, I had a great time yesterday. Thanks again for hosting an awesome brew day. I would be happy to come out again!

Drew, How's your fermentation? I blew my bubbler cap of and had to switch to a tube with our IPA. The Pale Ale I made with my neighbor Tim is going great also in the Fermenator.
I think I am going to make a Russian Imperial Stout in two weeks so it will be ready for the holidays.

Keep me posted for the next one. I'd definitely like to make it. I don't really have a rig, but I'll work on getting some sort of bin to make my setup more travel friendly. The worst part will be the mash tun, kettle and propane tank.

As of right now I think I will be making the stout in two weeks and then after drinking Drew's (LakeErieBrew) saison Saturday I think I need to put together 10 gallons of that maybe the weekend of June 27.
Would love to get a bunch of brewers over at my place for June 27th. Start marking your calenders.
Keith,
We'll go again late July...

I pitched some washed 1056 when I got home Saturday. I'm not sure what time it took off, but it was really rocking hard by the time I got home around 8PM last night. I have plenty of head spacing in my bucket, so I haven't had anything blow out of the blowoff tube.
June 27 is my daughter's birthday party, so I won't be able to make that one. I will try to make it if you do another brew day in July.

Marked! Hopefully I can make it. Not too sure whats on the calendar for then. I think I need to brew the actual recipe from Good Eats "Amber Waves" episide for my Alton Brown Beer experiment. That would be perfect since its extract with steeping grains.

Hey guys, I see I'm a little late to this thread but I just moved to Cleveland last week. I'd definitely be interested in meeting up with fellow homebrewers, and I have a 70 qt MLT that could be used for future brews if need be.

dont do the alton brown as is. At least dont use the ice. My folks live in Chardon as did I about 15 years ago. My son is actually up with the grandparents right now, gotta go pick him up Sunday. There is a Homebrewing Club that started up in Concord recently...little Mt. homebrewers I think. Also SNOBS in Cleveland.
