I brewed 7 bbls yesterday.

[olllllo]

I'm going to have to refer all wardrobe questions to either my valet or haberdasher depending on the nature of the question.

I'm going to post some video tomorrow or the next day.

Very nice. Thanks for sharing.



And yes, you suck.

very nice! very much jealous....

 

[david_42]

Very nice! I've had invitations to brew at a location that will remain nameless. Something about the grain mill being on the third floor and no elevator ...

 

[annasdadhockey]

I don't hate you, but you do indeed suck.

Looks like a great time and an incredible experience.

I am confused about the outfit change though.

Jealousy is an emotion and typically refers to the negative thoughts and feelings of insecurity, fear, and anxiety over an anticipated loss of something that the person values (brewing), such as a relationship (beer), friendship (brewing), or love (beer).

Now I feel like I would actually know someone if I went to the GABF .. let us know when video posts..

 

[AnonyBrew]

Nice job olllllo! I'm sure the beer won't suck. How many bottles does it take for 217 gallons?

 

[Bokonon]

Congrats olllllo! I've helped out on a bunch of different brews, but its way more rewarding when its actually your recipe.

Good luck in the pro-am. I hope you get 2nd place

 

[NAUGHTYDOGBREWING]

What was the ratio of scotch to wort? That sounds pretty interesting.

 

[drost]

Very cool, O!

Good luck at the GABF!

 

[android]

very cool indeed... what type of beer did you brew up?

 

[thedude123]

How did your beer get picked to get brewed? Do a lot of breweries do this?

One of his beers took Best of Show in a competiions not long ago. Doing so involved brewing the beer with a brewery for the ProAm at GABF 2009.

 

[wizardofza]

Yeah man, that's awesome. I won a similar competition at a local brewhouse where they're going to be doing up a Wit I entered. It'll be almost 400 gallons. I can't wait!

 

[Homercidal]

A nearby place is having a homebrew comp and the winner gets to have their beer on tap at the brewpub. I'm hoping nobody else enters!

 

[thedude123]

I have seen lots of competitions where the winner gets the beer put on tap somewhere but I don't want that. I want to be in this pro-am. Is it a home brew competition that a brewery has?

 

[GreenwoodRover]

Congrats ollllllo - It looks like you had a blast. Good Luck at the GABF!

Not uncommon to have a pair of shorts in your car in AZ. I have a pair in my truck for if pants are just too damn hot.

 

[velotech]

wow, 7 bbls! can't wait to try this at GABF. congrats and good luck!

 

[Bokonon]

Just bought my plane ticket to get to GABF today, so I'll definitely be there. My pro-am entry this year was only 7bbl as well, of course it started at 1.110.

 

[jds]

Looking forward to sampling both beers at GABF this year. Good luck in judging, guys.

 

[olllllo]

Thanks, everybody.
As I said in another thread, I know that I am 1 of at least 5 others on this board that have had this honor in the past or are in this years field.

mrbowenz has won the gold at GABF

I hope that we all have the opportunity to meet up at the GABF. What a photo that would be!

As per the scotch to wort ratio, my guess is 2 oz per pint. Trial and error are your friend.

As to the back story on how, read this thread.

Don't be afraid to ask your local breweries how you can make this happen if they are not already participating.

I'm not sure that breweries will be able to enter now. Last friday was the deadline to register a breweries normal entries, not sure if that also covers the pro-am entry

There's always next year. It might take a full year of lobbying.

 

[Odawg]

Wow olllllo, that is very cool. Congratulations. I'd be smiling the whole time too if I had a chance to brew 7bbl. I thought the possibility of brewing 1 bbl would be quite an adventure, especially using non-commercial equipment.

 

[olllllo]

I need to add that my lovely wife took all the pictures and stayed with me for the entire brew day.
