Sunday November 25 at my house in Piscataway, NJ.
I want to keep this small so we can stay on point and focused. The main point is to help some relatively experienced extract brewers and walk them through a simple all grain batch from milling the grain to filling the fermenter. We'll spend some time talking about figuring out volumes/temps using software, batch vs. fly equipment requirements, figuring out efficiency, and rules of thumb.
I don't claim to be an expert but I can walk you through the process I use and then you can decide whether or not it will work for you.
I'd like to keep the recipe as simple as possible; Blonde, APA, Bitter, ESB. I've got a decent stock of MO, Vienna, crystals, chocolate, etc. I need to take a better inventory. As far as hops go, I've got centenial, warrior, cascade, EKG, Tetnanger.
I don't necessarily need to take a share of the product so if anyone wants to suggest and/or purchase a kit and bring it, that's fine. It sounds like we have two people interested so far, soulive21 and njnear76. That's at least 10 gallons right there. If we get one more committed, we can bump it to two 10 gallon batches.
