Get together for Boston area brewers?

[Bulls Beers]

Probably not. I've only brewed in-house (extract). I've got 3 going right now, and don't have any equpment ie burner, wort chiller...

Burner won't be a problem unless you need to be somewhere at a given time, I'll let you use mine. Same thing with the wort chiller. If you brew yours while mine is mashing you're good to go. Same thing with the wort chiller, you can use mine. So all you'll really need to bring besides your ingrediants is a carboy to get the brew home afterwards. And an mug. On second thought, I've got plenty of them, too.

 

[paulthenurse]

Bump.

Anyone else interested? We've got four guys so far with a possible fifth.

I'm the in next town over so I would have liked to meet you guys, however unfortunately I have other commitments. At least that's how SWMBO put it -- and I have to listen else my brewing and poker careers each take a hit.

If need be, since I am heading down to basementbrew-hah in providence for some stuff in the morning -- I could act as a last minute gopher and may be use the opportunity to meet you guys and hang for an hour or so.

Let me know and I'll pm my contact info.

 

[Bulls Beers]

The more the merrier..It's going to be a good day. Brewing beer and grilling food. What's better than that...

 

[Two Minutes]

... add in smokin stogies and that might be just about as good as it gets

 

[paulthenurse]

Actually to make it as good as it could get you would need to add in naked brew nymphs, but I don[t think that is too likely. Damn it.

 

[Bulls Beers]

Paul, I was gonna say, and a dancing pole in your basement but i figured somebody would say it....

 

[paulthenurse]

I got all kinds of lally columns in the cellar but I don't think I could get SWMBO to play along. At least not when you guys are over. Hmmmmm, now I've got an idea.

[beergears]

Wait... maybe WE could put a show together for Paul's SWMBO, to thank her for her hospitality, and everything.

Paul, what's her musical taste?


{uhoh... I think I just blew my invite...!?}

 

[paulthenurse]

Um, sorry everyone but I've got to cancel! I'm suddenly very sick to my stomach a the idea of beergear doing the pole dance thing in my cellar! Yuck.


Akkk, OK, I'll relent and press on. I gues the brewday is still a go. But if even one of you jokers starts sheddin cotton I'm pullin' the plug immediatly.

 

[Two Minutes]

Unless the shedder is the naked brew nymph

 

[Bulls Beers]

For a split second, when I read the first sentence, i thought shyte, it's cancelled...See you Saturday..

 

[Bulls Beers]

Well, I just got home a little while ago from HBT Brother Paulthenurse's house spending the day brewing my first all-grain..Drinking, brewing and eating some great food. Btw. those ribs from the smoker were friggin awesome. Thanks Paul..:rockin:
It was nice to also meet another HBT brother beergears...He's more of a noobie than me.

Since i've been brewing, i've only done extract batches so it was great to see my first AG.
That sweet juice coming out of that mash tun was amazing...

I think Paul is gonna put some pics up soon. It was a great day... Thanks a million Paul, you were a great host... Right now i have a killer buzzz. It's all good...

Santa. I know what i want for Christmas...Starts with a M and ends in a tun.

 

[beergears]

A big thank you to Paul for having us over!

Yes, as Bulls Beers said, a fun day to learn more about AG steps, and generally, for n00bs, not to worry so much about some of the brewing process.

The pressing the grapes was a cool, and the Cab juice was tasty!

Lots of goodies around PTN's house, to look at, and enjoy. That last taste, the weisen was great!
All sorts of activities going on in the kitchen as well... simmering juices, canning...

A very interesting day in the brisk New England air, as the season shifts into winter. I can't wait for a brew day in the snow!

 

[paulthenurse]

Here are a few pics from the Boston Brew Day

From left to right Beergears, Paulthenurse, Brian the beer n00b, and Bulls Beers. We're racking a brown ale out of the primary, we're going to need that in a bit.

Lots of good food. Silverware completely optional.

I'm sober. Honest.

He's not. Honest.

A few more. Here is the beer this morning. Nothing like throwing a crapload-o-yeast to get a quick fermentaion going.

Here is the Bohemian Pils that I wanted to do yesterday. I brewed this today while SWMBO's and I cleaned up the porch and got it all organized. The carboy on the right is the "Gee MA, Look What I Found WeizenBock" that you guys sampled yesteday. I'm including that in my beerswap sendoffs, it just isn't quite RTD yet.

[Bulls Beers]

Great pic's Paul..I'm ready to go again when your ready..

 

[paulthenurse]

I was ready today. Where were you?

 

[Bulls Beers]

All i did today was rack my Belgian to the secondary..Damn, I would've taken you up on it too...

 

[LouT]

Looks like a lot of fun and cutting up, wish I could've made it!
