DC Area Group Buy #9

[IslandLizard]

August or Sept is about all I could guess right now. Probably best to wait until near the end if you are unsure...

August is a very busy month with lots of events again, such as MASHOUT! (8/14-17) and Labor Day weekend tacking right on at the end. I have the feeling it's going to be either the beginning of August or more realistically, the middle of September or later.

We're also not gathering a lot of whole sacks right now either.

Excellent! Thanks

Who was it at the last buy who brought the Marzen, IPA, and another beer; all or most of which had won awards? Just got to the IPA and am absolutely loving it!! Need recipe!!

For anyone not familiar with the awesomeness that is MASHOUT, check out

campmashout.com

Under new management this year with a fine new website.

Mashout looks like a great event.

 

[sweetcell]

one thing i'm unclear about: do folks brew at mashout? or is it more camping, drinking and eating? if they do brew, is electricity available (for the pumps)? what's the water situation, for cooling?

 

[robfar]

There's no brewing except for the occasional special event. It's all about homebrew, (with some killer pro stuff, too) food, music, camping, having a blast with other homebrewers, hiking, bike riding, and new this year, water activities in the Potomac.

No electricity except for a generator for the band on Friday night. No running water. Fairly rustic camping.

I've been going for years and it is always the highlight of my summer.

I love beer, camping, food, and good times. This Mashout looks like a lot of fun. Timing this year is horrible though and i wont be able to make it. I wont be doing anything but ill be just getting back from a 2 week vacation and the wife will veto this Mashout camp trip.

 

[robfar]

In the future, keep the middle of August clear. It is always held then. Got to have your priorities straight.[emoji6]

 

[ewrzesinski]

I have the same problem with attending Mashout. My company always has our annual client conference at the same time and I have to be in Chicago all week..... I hope to attend one day!

Ha! i have no control over my vacation this year. Going to be in Alaska for a wedding and some fishing for a week, then immediately after, were going to OBX for a family beach trip. Gonna be more like a family reunion that we do annually. 10 bed room house on the beach with around 25 people. both these trips i did not pick the dates.

In case y'all missed it, there's another giveaway that's not being promoted so much. A chance to win a plastic conical.

Enjoying a Lemon Pepper Saison!

Made from 2-Row, Rye and Vienna Malts. Turbinado sugar addition. Hopped with Sorachi Ace. Lemon zest and cracked green peppercorn in boil. Belgian Saison I yeast to cap it off.

Prost!

 

[reddskinnfan]

Now it's on to the Arrogant Bastard clone. This beer is phenominal! So close to the real thing, just slightly darker and a little less bitter (forgot the gypsum addition in boil).

Cheers!

What questions do you have? It didn't stick, and I never use rice huls. It's smoker than I expected. Was still kinda flat when I left for hillbilly land. The new style guides say it should be clear.... And mine was uber hazy.

If anyone wants to stop bye mad taste it on mondy, I'm sure I can be of assistance.

 

[j1n]

Hmmm i need more. please put me down for these as well.

1x RAH1005 Rahr Premium Pilsner 50 lb
1x CRI1001 Crisp Finest Maris Otter Ale 25 kg (55 lb)

Added!

In regard to the order/pick-up date I doubt we're going to be ready for August 1 with only 18 sacks on the pallet, 6 being open splits.

As I said before, early- or mid-September is more realistic, and even the end of September/beginning of October is not out of the question either, given the many beer-related festivals around that time.

I'll be moving tentative dates to 8/22 and 9/6 respectively for the time being, subject to change.

And of course this not taking into account the fine folks at Three Stars. We won't fool with an order of less than about 30-40 sacks, so I agree that later in the August or early Sept. seem more reasonable at this point. Also need to take into account my travel schedule and when Frits is available as well. For now, I wouldn't worry about a date until we get into next month and re-evaluate where we are at then...

 

[emyers]

I know i haven't put a dent on my supply from last group buy, so no complaints from me on the wait. Its probably best anyways since i bet that warehouse is balls hot in August.

 

[PikevilleBrew]

I think I am OK on waiting too. I should need SOMETHING by then!

 

[The_General]

A later date works better for me!

I'm in for:

2 x RAH1002 Rahr Standard 2-Row 50 lb
1x RAH1005 Rahr Premium Pilsner 50 lb

 

[jamisonia]

1x CRI1002 Crisp Gleneagles Maris Otter 25 kg (55 lb)

please

 

[funnycreature]

Anyone interested in a DME split? I am down to <5 lbs... Until I have dialed in my milling I will probably need more than expected to make up for missing points (and my starters of course)
EDIT: I should clarify that I'd probably take 10 lbs....

 

[PikevilleBrew]

I would be interested in DME split. 10lbs.
