MD/DC/PA/DE/NoVA FALL brew day 9/11/2010

[wscott823]

I should've been able to guess that. It's early.

 

[Madman]

Stephen, let me know what I need to bring (materials/money) for the Cranky Wife

 

[jezter6]

Stefin/Ryan,

While we're at it, we need to plan Lambic day.

Let's get that started as well...

 

[Ryan_PA]

Yeah, it is coming up on a year soon.

I think if we each bring our setups, we could all easily brew 10 gallons in parallel and perhaps an extra 10 to accommodate evaporation from last year.

 

[claphamsa]

I think we have like 10G extra already... but yeah, 3 set ups should be fine!

 

[jezter6]

Well, depends on what you mean by 10g extra. That one bit we tasted was disgusting.

We also need to ensure we give 5g to the club we borrowed the equipment from.

 

[Ryan_PA]

THe funk was strong in the 5G. I would be more than happy to take the "disgusting" beer off your hands as I found it quite good.

And yes, your man at the LHBS should get 5G for sure. Al, just make sure he wants it. If not, I am sure we could use it.

 

[claphamsa]

there is the 5G and the 7G bucket as well....

 

[claphamsa]

someoen go bump the barrel thread so we dont fill this up...

 

[jezter6]

I'm sure he'll want it. I'll make sure to get a keg from the club to put it in, and they'll serve it at our nov meeting.

 

[jezter6]

*bump* since I mentioned to a few people in introductions and other areas that there was a thread to talk about brewday...

What's everyone brewing? I don't think I have a brew partner or a recipe yet....

 

[claphamsa]

im brewing whoop ass!

 

[masonsjax]

My band was booked to play a pig roast party on the 11th, so...brewday loses. I keep saying it, but, maybe next time.
~(8^(|)_
MMMmm Porrrk....

 

[jezter6]

If you ever do show up and don't look like your avatar, I'm gonna be pissed.

 

[masonsjax]

Haha! SWMBO let me grow that stache once. After that she said if I ever attempt it again I will be cut off for the duration. It's almost worth it.

 

[claphamsa]

all people with facial hair look like creeps.......

 

[dataz722]

Better than looking like a child molester. Have you gotten the "free candy" decal for the sh!tstang yet?

 

[claphamsa]

im planning on it soon..... and a ravens sticker!

 

[TowsonTiger22]

I'm honestly coming to see how all-grain works. Other than that, I can bring the centennial blonde that just finished, or any other beer that is acceptable.

 

[wscott823]

All I know is that I'm making an ale, my single lagering vessel will be tied up with oktoberfest til... well October.

 

[jezter6]

Mint Choco Stout Wes??

 

[Cugel]

Now that's what I call funny!!!! Yogurt was just spewed over my laptop. Nice one Mike.

 

[Cugel]

I'll be attending this brewday. Woo-hoo.
WOuld like to do a simple brew... stout, bitter, brown whatever... nothing sour mind you.

Anyone interested in partnering?

Will also bring some of the infamous strawberry-banannannannnana mead that Joe and Al have experienced.

 

[wscott823]

Mint Choco Stout Wes??

I'll talk it over with the misses and get back to you.

 

[brettwasbtd]

Maybe this is a stupid question, but how does everyone handle equipment transportation, and more importantly, finished wort transportation on brewday?

 

[wscott823]

Finished wort goes in the backseat of the car, get's aerated on the drive home

 

[jezter6]

Bigger carboy = plenty of room for sloshing. The only thing I'd think about is using a bucket as the airlock sticks in there harder, or a carboy cap if you have a carboy. Bungs might slip out with a big jolt. Other option is to san up some reynolds wrap or whatever and put that over the carboy with a rubber band to hold it on till you get home.

 

[Ryan_PA]

I may be just coming to hang, but if anyone is hard up, or an extract brewer wants to split an AG batch I could be convinced to brew.

 

[Yunus]

Will also bring some of the infamous strawberry-banannannannnana mead that Joe and Al have experienced.

Save some for me. I will be there but probably not brewing again. I gotta work till 1 but will be there right after work.

 

[wscott823]

Mint Choco Stout Wes??

Tough sell on the misses and I've still got a case of stout in the basement as well. No mint choco for this brewday Al
