[DHUTH23]

The brew store by my work is having an event on MAY 6th. They are getting brewers together for an all grain demonstration. And you can bring your beer for swapping taste samples.

 

[crazyseany]

[DHUTH23]

This ones not near brunswick. Its by my work in Northfield. Its called leeners

 

[JCrazy84]

Why do finals have to be the next two weeks? *pouts*

 

[DHUTH23]

Well its on a sunday. And thers always time to take a break from studying. Lol

 

[DHUTH23]

The kolsh turned out pretty good, has alot of flavor for a light beer. The summer ale will be ready to drink on Saturday. Went to leeners today and bought everything for my next batch. Next weekend we are going to do a milk stout . What are you guys working on?

 

[JCrazy84]

Haha, I actually have a final from 2-6 on that Sunday so, no luck for me.
But, right now I have Chocolate Chili dry stout getting ready soon for bottles.
Tripel is aging nicely in the secondary.
Apfelwein another 6 weeks minimum in fermenter.
Citrus Double IPA or Raspberry Hefeweizen up in about three weeks, with ingredients in my cart on g&g, when I have finished exams and my summer class.

 

[DHUTH23]

I think im going to do the Belgium triple next

[DHUTH23]

Not that crazy about the brewers best summer ale. Just brewed the milk stout today.

 

[JCrazy84]

I bottled my Chocolate Chili Stout on Wednesday, I'm gonna give it a least a month to condition as my basement is about 64. I am itching to brew, but I am waiting for finals to finish, and then my 2 week summer class to finish. I may brew three batches on memorial day weekend. I think this is the insanity from exam studying talking right now, but it sounds mighty tempting. Especially with those prices on 6.5 gal Carboys from LabelPeelers. They will get an order from me as soon as I am free from my prison that is law school!

 

[crazyseany]

i finally brewed again this weekend...was freezing my but off in garage for our neighborhood yard sales... figured might as well get a burner going... i brewed Edworts haus ale...

would you guys ever be interested in getting together for a brew day?
I've got a big yard and could do a picnic/brew day if anyone is interested?

bring the wife and kids if you have them...

i have all the stuff to do all grain and depending if i ever make progress on my brew stand...lol

right now i use an 8 gallon pot to boil in (i could use another burner to heat water especially if more then 1 batch is going)

 

[DHUTH23]

That sounds possible

 

[DHUTH23]

Is anyone thinking about going to that all grain demonstration on sunday?

 

[JCrazy84]

I'm not opposed to doing a brew day, but I don't have a burner. Since I make extract batches I'm able to make mine on the stove and then dilute.

I also can't go to the thing on Sunday, I have a summer class and it starts on Sunday from 830-430.

 

[DHUTH23]

After the summer ale sat longer it tasted much better

 

[DHUTH23]

Sean i would be interested in doing an all grain brew day. I have a burner. And also i can split cost with u if u want to split the batch. Also have a 15.5 gallon brew pot i made out of a keg if u want to do one big batch. I'm interested in doing my first all grain and trying it. I'm only i couple pieces away from having everything to do all grain.

 

[toohopheads]

Have you heard of SAAZ Beer Club? We meet in Fairlawn the second Tuesday of the month. Next meeting June 12th.

 

[DHUTH23]

Just got done making my mash tun. Whats a good place to look up all grain recipes?

 

[crazyseany]

scroll up..to recipes....lol

that's what I've used so far...

we need to plan a brew day! lol

 

[DHUTH23]

Lol. Never noticed the recipe tab. And yeah. I deff want to brew after memorial weekend.

 

[Hypnolobster]

I'm in Litchfield, about 10 minutes from Medina. Always happy to bring a keg or two somewhere.

They rotate some great stuff there and most of the staff is very knowledgable. I am a frequent visitor.

 

[Fryrish]

So whos brewing what? I just got done doing a Parti Gyle batch of Barleywine and Bitter. I am going to make a Dry Irish stout for St. Patricks day and am putting together a Hefewisen recipie for some late spring brewing.

What are you guys brewing and maybe some akron area people can meet up and do some tasting notes?

 

[tbright0223]

Hey all. I've been subscribed to this thread for a while but never posted in here. I'm from Akron and have a little over a year of brewing under the belt. I think it would be awesome to get together and share some homebrew since I really haven't had any expert advice yet. I will also be brewing a St Pattys day beer this weekend but in going with an Irish Red.

 

[Fryrish]

I did an Irish red last year that turned out really well. I actually found one kicking around in the back of the fridge mid summer and it had improved a lot! Just as an experiment maybe you should hide a bottle or three away for a few months in cold storage. At any rate maybe we can find a few more people who are doing a St. Pattys day brew and meet up saturday the 16th of march for a tasteoff!

 

[DHUTH23]

I started this thread sometime ago.and havnt been on in awhile.glad to see some life in it again. I took a break from brewing, but I think its time to wash the equipment up and start up again. I stopped after spring because my house was to hot for fermentation with out an airconditioner. I tried to ferment submerged in water but the beer didn't turn out well. What do you guys do in the winrer? Do you use the house stove or still do it outside?
