Brewers of South Suburbia - BOSS

[Pappers_]

Was a great time last night. I didn't win anything either. Didn't buy any raffle tickets though. Glad you liked the cider!

I'm drinking one of my ciders now, Craig, and its not as good as yours.

The current lineup

A Summit, Amarillo, Citra and Mosaic IPA is dry hopping now and should be ready in a couple of weeks. A semi-dry summer white wine is in the works, more cider is fermenting, next brew will be a Nelson Sauvin APA followed by a Wee Heavy (using the Edinburgh yeast from the APA).

I'm confused. Everyone's location says Chicago but you claim to live in the South Suburbs, what gives?

That's good news. Once again I'll be able to sample beer at B&G when I pick up supplies

Heading up to Milwaukee tomorrow afternoon to judge NHC regional with Bill. The organizer said he won't be telling us what we are judging until we arrive at the competition on Saturday morning.

who's going to Argus? I'll be there. I loved their California Steam on nitro last year!

I'll be there. Anyone who hasn't rsvp'd should email Terry (pm me if you need his email address).

Its a cool building, former stables for the delivery wagons for Schlitz, I think.

I did a side by side brew on fathers day. I ran my keggle system and my batch sparge cooler at the same time for 20 gallons in a single session :rockin: .It was a fun day. I did 10 gallons of coffee stout in my cooler and 10 gallons of triple decocted hefe on my keggle. Hope every dad had a good day--I did!

I'm brewing again. I fit 33# of grain Into my keggle with a 1.25 ratio and also batch sparged another 16# of grain into my mashton cooler to give me 14 gallons of wort between the 2 and did a 3 hour boil for 10.5 gallons of really thick RIS. Does anyone still look at this thread?

Hi Kevin! That's a lot of grain!

Hi Jim! It was old grain and wanted to use it all. Had a fun day with it. One of those seat of your pants brews. SRM was really black so called it a stout but really it's what I had on hand.
