I brewed 7 bbls yesterday.

[Desert Monkey]

Great stuff olllllo!

You should get the other guys together and start a club - you can all get jackets like that golf masters thing -

Hoping to head up to GABF to see the end result!

 

[Reverend JC]

Congrats on the GABF beer brewed!


Its alot of fun to brew your own recipes scaled up from 5 gallons to 7 barrels isn't it!

I would assume the pants change came from the fact that along with his smile was a little something extra in the drawers that needed to be cleaned out he was having so much fun.

 

[Bob]

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

Approximately 1300 (54 cases) if there's zero waste.

Bob

P.S. Congrats, olllllo! Looks like you had a fun day. Yes, lugging sacks of grain sucks the big one. You get used to it.

 

[thataintchicken]

Congratulations!
You have done what many can only dream of doing.

I enjoyed reading this while waiting for my next hop addition :rockin:

 

[olllllo]

I just got word from Jim Strelau that it's going to be on tap at the Grill in Sedona (Tlaquepaque) tomorrow.

It's only a matter of time before it hits Papago here in Phoenix.

 

[MGAZ]

Are we going to gather at Papago when it arrives? I'll be there for sure.

 

[kappclark]

I feel honored having sipped McNeill's with the master of Phoenix !

We should get Patti K to do a story !

 

[KillerKellers]

Are we going to gather at Papago when it arrives? I'll be there for sure.

Could count me in for that!

 

[Whut]

I'm in as well.

 

[olllllo]

I will definitely post when it is available in the Valley.
kappclark, If you can pull that string with Patti Kirkpatrick, let me know.

In a spectacularly impulsive and unabashedly wasteful manner, I will be leaving work and driving 2 hours to Sedona tonite so that I can sample my finished beer.

I will stay for my legal 1 hour's limit and drive back.

240 miles, 4 hours for a beer.

If anyone in the valley is interested, I have room for 4 or 5 others in SWMBOs SUV.
DM me.

 

[ohiobrewtus]

If one of my beers were being served, I'd do the same thing - junk tucking optional.

 

[MGAZ]

Wooohoooo!! Road trip!!

Count me in.

 

[Cape Brewing]

Sweet!!! I'm in!!! Who's pickin' me up??

Congrats olllllo! That's tremendous stuff.

Are you going to at least be able to get a few bottled for the home-inventory??

 

[olllllo]

I should have a keg coming my way. But I can't wait.

Thanks for making the trip Mike. As far as show tunes go, are you OK with My Fair Lady or West Side Story?

 

[springer]

wow just saw this thread.. Congrats

 

[Whut]

As far as show tunes go, are you OK with My Fair Lady or West Side Story?

Rats, I'd go but you're not taking Oklahoma or Singin' in the Rain. Seriouslly would love to but work prevents it. Congrats Rob.

 

[MGAZ]

Got any Miss Saigon, or Rocky Horror?

 

[olllllo]

Got any Miss Saigon, or Rocky Horror?

Are you on your way?

 

[drost]

Well, how was it? I got to try it at the NHC...but how did it scale up?

[olllllo]

Crystal clear due to filtering. More pear than mine but not by much. It smells like a summer day.

It paired well with the Rosemary pork loin with sun-dried cranberry and port wine demi. Served with Wehani and Basmati rice pilaf.

 

[MGAZ]

It was goood stuff

 

[olllllo]

It's on tap at Papago right now. I randomly walkd in and it was on.

 

[bob1852]

that's gotta be bad ass to walk in a bar and say: "hey, that's my recipe on tap, and I brewed it!"

 

[thorongil]

that's gotta be bad ass to walk in a bar and say: "hey, that's my recipe on tap, and I brewed it!"

Actually, it was quite the opposite. He was actually asking questions about the beer like he's never heard of it

Here's my glass... it was very nice, crisp, and dry. Great summer brew...

 

[bob1852]

that's even more bad a$$!

 

[jamesnsw]

Any idea which session this will be available at the GABF?

 

[olllllo]

Any idea which session this will be available at the GABF?

Sadly no. No idea.

 

[Bokonon]

Any idea which session this will be available at the GABF?

I don't think they will reveal that. I do know that the entries are split up over each day (unlike last year that had 2 groups). So each day will have different beers, and saturday will have 3 spots reserved for the winning beers (if they aren't already on tap)

Edit: Here is the official word from Janis:

72 entries, 25 taps... Th 25, F 25, S 22 with 3 taps available for the Gold, Silver, and Bronze medal winners if they aren't already on tap on Saturday.

 

[olllllo]

A sad footnote:
The Oak Creek Grill was flooded out this eveining.

About 12 cars were damaged. No injuries. Jim says there is about a foot of mud in the brewhouse. Tlaquepaque is supposed to have a festival on Saturday.

[olllllo]

Mine is on tap for the Friday sessions, Bokonon's Barleywine is on tap during the Saturday sessions.

All of the winning entries (top 3) will be on tap Saturday.
