GRABASS 1/9 Brewgasm (Cary, NC)

[Walker]

I've been lurking/eavesdropping on your thread. Sounds like your brewdays are a good time for all.

We always have a good time, but this particular session was kind of epic in proportion.

Also found: Chad's long bread knife and scabbard.

Yup, the bread knife/guard and the stainless coffee cup are mine. The funny thing is that I put them together on the shelf so I wouldn't forget them. Let me know when would be a good time to swing by and pick them up. I'm not in any hurry. As you might have guessed, I have other bread knives Feel free to use it in the meantime. The offset design is pretty cool.

Thought you guys would get a kick out of this...

I brewed a batch of pale ale tonight and was all se to use my rainwater for chilling. They had thawed considerably and were full of super cold water.

I replaced the impeller on my pump and got everything set up, and I did a test run to make sure things were working properly.

Then... It started to sprinkle. The pump was sitting outsidebolted to a board, so I had to abort the rain barrel again and brought everything inside.

I *did* get to use the pump with my MLT full of ice water like we did last weekend, so I at least was able to chill my wort fown to 68*F in about 15 minutes, but...

I WILL USE THAT RAIN WATER. I SWEAR TO GOD, I WILL.

It seems as though the rain water is against you!

Walker is the only person in Cary whose water bill has actually increased after installing a rain barrel

Guys I really enjoyed reading this thread, i sat here and read from page 1 til the end. I was living in Durham about a year ago before I got stationed down at Ft. Bragg. If you guys ever have another brew session I would love to come up and hang out with fellow brewers. I have yet to find anyone down in this area that homebrews.
