FOTHB VI: Fellowship of the Homebrew 6: Let Doug and Mark Get Their Own From Now On

[RevKev]

I like your spirit. I want to have at least one more too!

 

[GnenieGone]

12%er RIS in progress...wont be ready to drink but add anyway. Thinking about a variant with 1/2 of it.

 

[madscientistbrewNq]

I've wanted to do a coconut and condition on those rum oak chips that you can buy which I believe are from rum barrels broken down.

or a chai spiced ris

 

[Scturo]

Hm, chai sounds pretty interesting. Since it’s used in tea. I would think it might work in a hoppy beer? Or a blonde would be a safe bet.

I'd go blonde even though I went brunette.

Do it! My Old Rasputin clone just got coconut in half and oak/whiskey in the other. It ended at 1.030 and a little sweet so we'll see.

 

[madscientistbrewNq]

one guy at a homebrew comp did a chai spiced pumpkin. technically most pumpkins consist of quite a few of the spices anyway as you all know so of course it worked. I actually did what I would call a coffee cake cream ale which also consisted similar spices ie nutmeg, cinnamon, vanilla... added a little biscuit and honey malt to the grain bill too... it wasnt a crusher... I think some chai spiced might include cardamom and ginger as well..

Any objections to a 8:15 EST pick time? I get out of work at 8:05est...

Man, you're being tough on me. I leave for work at 8:30 pm. I could maybe push it to 8 and leave 15 or 20 minutes later than usual, would that work?

I’d have no problem if you shift the timeline forward or backwards a day or more if it helps the 2 of you.

 

[GnenieGone]

I'm usually off on Saturdays but working same hours this Saturday. I don't have any flexibility with my schedule. Maybe see how the picks turn out...

 

[GaBrewZoo]

Yeah, we'll have to see. If we pushed it back until I got to work I might be able to do it, but sometimes I stay busy when I first get there and can't guarantee I could do it on time.
And I am working every day until I leave for vacation on the 27th. Really putting a cramp on my beer sampling, and brewing.

 

[GaBrewZoo]

Maybe I'll do the pick order on Thursday or Friday and we'll get a better idea of the situation then.

Brewing a SMaSH for my offer. Impulse buy, bought some cryo hops so I’m going to try them out.

Offer in.

Offer In

 

[GaBrewZoo]

Went ahead and did the pick list for the drawing.

We can start at 8PM EST, do 5 minute intervals, PianoMan would pick at 8:30 EST and we could be done by 9, and I'd still be able to get to work on time. How will that work for everyone. Any problems, please PM me, and we can work something out.

 

[GaBrewZoo]

@TwistedGray , @jason613 , @RevKev , @jerbrew , still need offer submissions. Only two days until picks.

We have some really good looking offers so far.

Will do!! I still have to brew one of my offers... Needless to say my package may be a touch late. Let me finalize the recipe and I'll shoot you a list!

 

[Scturo]

Nice. Can’t wait to see the offers. The timeline works for me.

 

[GnenieGone]

Is this the most we've had? Too lazy to look back. I've brewed 4 brews yesterday, kegged 2, and just secondary 1. One never knows what they'll end up with besides my actual offers....

Unless of course, one monitors the other threads...

 

[Scturo]

I think it is the most. So @GaBrewZoo has the record. Not too late to join folks!

 

[imasickboy]

Too late to submit my offer since pick order was already drawn?

I thought today was the deadline.

 

[TwistedGray]

Yah a bit backwards, lol, but I submitted mine earlier.

 

[GnenieGone]

Submit!

The early draw order was to see if my and GaBrewZoo work timing would work out. I does so carry on...

 

[Scturo]

It’s never too late to submit.

 

[Blackdirt_cowboy]

Absolutely submit. The more the merrier.

 

[GnenieGone]

If we have 12 would that mess you up @GaBrewZoo?

 

[GaBrewZoo]

Give it to me. I'll figure something out. We're fixing to start an Edgar Alan Poe dinner show, then I go to work, so I'll figure something out and let y'all know in the morning.

 

[imasickboy]

Offer in.

And 9 from that round are also in this round.

And where has JDXX1971 gone? I haven't seen him around in a while.
