Bastard!

You should try to get someone else to go in on it. No reason you've got to go without it on my account.

BTW I think wifey and I have settled on making Weizenbock. If anyone's interested in doing this as a 10 gal, let me know.

[claphamsa]

[claphamsa]

where is all the excitement???????????????????????????????

 

[claphamsa]

Pint glasses, we talked about getting glasses in the past... I think it will be around 2-2.50 a glass, but we would need 72..... I ve talked to al and ryan... anyone else think they would want some?

 

[Ryan_PA]

If anyone is looking to unload 12 oz bottles, I am 100% out and have 4-5 sour batches coming up for bottling in the next few months.

 

[claphamsa]

I have some.... but youll have to wait till October for them....

 

[jezter6]

I dunno how many I have, but I always save whatever is left over from people bringing them to brewday, so you're welcome to whatever I have on the shelf when you come down.

I've got 3-4 cases I could spare. They all have labels on them, hope that's not a deal breaker

 

[jezter6]

Im in on at least a few. Really depends on money at the time.

I have a ton of bottles. Most are still labeled and probably weren't cleaned that great. I'll bring whatever I can fit in the car. It will probably be a few cases at least.

 

[dataz722]

they are SUPER AWESOME!!!!!

And you are super ghey

 

[Ryan_PA]

Cool, I will take all bottles, labled or otherwise.

And I will also return a well read copy of Brew Like a Monk to Wes.

 

[jezter6]

Ok, Stefin wants to move on these glasses fast so we can get them by brewday. We found a site that makes it about $1.25-1.50 a glass.

Minimum order is 6 (for ease of dividing them out since they come in cases of 12). That's about $8-9. Easily affordable.


Yay or nay....say it now so STEFIN can get things done tomorrow.

As much as he wants me to, I am not in charge of this shyte.

 

[Yunus]

I'll take 12, glasses not cases.

How much lead and cadmium will they contain? I just want to make sure I under shoot my beer color by a proper amount to make it appear normal in these glasses when you account for the extra heavy metals that normal glasses don't have.

 

[jezter6]

I think the SRM of the glass is 2.3, so adjust accordingly.

 

[JetSmooth]

So, what's on the glasses? Got the design?

I mentioned to SWMBO that this was happening and told her I was thinking of going. No objection, so I'm planning on it.

Also got a brew day in the works on Sept 3 for my birthday, so that will be two in September! Gotta get the pipline goin'.

Here's the conundrum, do I do the Vanilla Bourbon Porter on 09/03 and the Duvel clone with Y'all on 09/11, or the other way around?

I primary in corny kegs, and have four of 'em, so I can do two eight-gallon batches and split into them. (Easier for transport as well, methinks). But what are the other logistis I need to consider? Are we bringin' spring water or tapping at the location? How about chilling? Logistics seem insane!

 

[jezter6]

Logistics are as follows.

I have a whole house filter that I attach in the kitchen for brewing water. You may have to wait for a few minutes while someone else is filling their water needs, but not more than a few minutes at most. I also have 2 hoses outside for multiple chilling stations. As long as we stagger the batches by 15-20 minutes, we probably won't have 2 people using the chillers at the same time. There will be enough chillers there that you don't need to bring one if you don't want to. Bring a burner, kettle, and propane. I do have a second burner and kettle for various water needs, but not much in the way of spare propane tank.

[dataz722]

I thought we were going to have some text on it too other than the MGBoF

 

[jezter6]

I think that would end up adding to the cost of the glass...

I wasn't part of this, it was just something that Stefin sent me today that he got back from one of the vendors he contacted.

Just needed to find a copy of the logo for JetSmooth, and that was the only one I had available.

 

[wscott823]

As epic as the glasses are, I'm gonna have to pass. I'm still brewing on a shoestring budget as is.

 

[claphamsa]

wes did you still need munich? or did you get that from me already????

 

[dataz722]

I think he paid you for it but never got it from you.
