Don't listen to Rookie...

If you're smart you'll put him on 'Ignore' status. It will save you a LOT of aggravation.

 

[nhwrecker]

As long as it's your wife making it from scratch.

I wouldn't want anything made from PTN's scratchings. Don't even think a pizza oven could purify that stuff.

 

[Krieger]

hahaha... I just got caught up on the pizza oven thread... seriously you guy had me laughing hard enough my manager was starting to wonder what was up.

 

[Melana]

So i'm having a moment... did you say 'around 1PM' or am i not remembering correctly?

I'll be arriving "late" this year... I have a golf tourney to attend in the AM but please...start without me. I know it will be hard but, try to have some fun before I arrive

 

[paulthenurse]

1 is good.

I'm not drinking till Will shows up.

 

[Melana]

K. See you at 5am!

 

[aslander]

Hey guys, the wife and I are trying to make it to this but one of my friends decided to be a moron and went and got engaged. Now we have to go do our rounds at an engagement party in Waltham at 1pm. I could potentially get there by 4pm or so, so probably would be best if I don't try to add in the logistics of bringing and planning out a brew session. I'm more than happy to lug stuff around for people who are brewing Saturday though (despite being a scrawny 165lb weakling)

I could probably bring a couple 3 gallon kegs of some brews if someone is planning on having a jockey box there to use. I have a black rye IIPA, a bells 2 hearted clone, and a belgian pale ale that should be done dry hopping and carbing by Saturday.

Either way, we hope to make it and meet some local homebrewers. Will you be providing your address or did I miss that in this huge thread?

Also, just an FYI, there is a group buy that Crazyirishman and I are running in this thread. We still have a few weeks probably before we get enough orders, so feel free to join in. Pickup is at my house in Concord MA.

 

[paulthenurse]

If you can't make it on time don't bother coming.

Just kidding. No one is punching a time clock, its a BBQ. Come when you can, leave when you must, stay if you drink too much. Kegs of beer are always welcome, we'll manage to get you onto a jockey box somewhere. Maybe not all day, bring a few picnic taps just in case.

And anyone showing up before sunrise will be shot. Anyone showing up before noon will be put to work.

PM me for the address.

If I can fire up my kettle at noon thirty ish I'm all in for working.

 

[the_bird]

Thinking I'm going to end up just doing an APA/IPA this weekend, not a steinbier; I'll just help out Smurfmeat with his.

Favor to ask the crowd, though; anyone heading to a homebrew shop in the next few days? I've got plenty of malt and hops, but I'm completely bereft of any yeast at the moment. Could someone pick me up a pack of US05 and I'll pay you on Saturday?

 

[paulthenurse]

I'll get some for you.

I'm not taking a stinking check.

Bummer re: no forge fired stones. I was really looking forward to that.

 

[Krieger]

I'll need to stop by a shop on my way. I need to pick up a new fermentation bucket, so I can pick one up if needed.

 

[the_bird]

I wasn't the one who didn't pay you for three years!

 

[paulthenurse]

I eventually gave up on waiting and took it as a loss on my taxes.

 

[the_bird]

Thank you, Paulie!

You still want me to bring down that yellow caution tape? You should probably cordon off the pizza oven; it'd be a real shame if someone breathed on it wrong and the whole thing collapsed.

 

[Cape Brewing]

hehehehehe



Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew because it impresses people

 

[paulthenurse]

Good idea, I don't want any of you idiots getting near it.

So why the bail on a stein beer?

 

[smurfjuice]

I have to stop by TWB thursday nite for steinbrau fixun's, i can pick up anything you may need. let me know ... i will arrive around noonish to start thet thar
fiah' ..... Jay, .... smurfmeat

... because I was hoping to get out of work early this afternoon to run around for bibs and bobs and all that, but it didn't happen. I might still do the steinbier, if I can get some **** together this week, but regardless I'm going to need yeast.

[smurfjuice]

Does anyone have any old newspaper they want to part with?? any and all will be helpful ... ...

 

[the_bird]

I've got a stash of old Journals sitting in my office, I'll grab those.

 

[DakotaRules]

So Paul, your setting a start time of one and expecting people to brew?!?

I'll be there at 9 setting up and getting water ready. I'll get Bertha some wood while your sleeping also.

 

[paulthenurse]

Bringing Bertha 3 home from Worcester. I'm going to retire B1, the old girl is >10 years old and she is showing her age. She could be rehabbed but I don't have the time. For some strange reason Alice is drawing the line at one BBQ trailer in the yard. Go figure.
If anyone wants a project speak up or she'll be razor blades soon.

 

[Melana]

OMG how bad is she? If she can be rehabbed we'll take her

 

[paulthenurse]

She's not bad. Hell the firebox alone is worth grabbing, never mind the trailer. But I don't have time and we don't need three. Even when Drunken and I do big parties we only use two. At the last wedding we did we cooked 8 turkey's and 75 racks of ribs in the two of them.
