MD spring brew day

[Ryan_PA]

Yeah, I was thinking the ease of not dragging all my stuff down would be nice.

 

[claphamsa]

but no pump?????????????

 

[Ryan_PA]

I'll have you know, I have brewed again since the epic fail, and with the new config it worked perfectly. Amazingly enough, no one was there to witness it.

 

[Madman]

Sounds like the classic nerd "girlfriend in Canada" story to me, Ryan!

 

[Ryan_PA]

Well, we met at summer camp, and she is super hot.

 

[claphamsa]

brewday woo!

 

[claphamsa]

is anyone still seeking a beer partner? i belive cugel is!

 

[Yunus]

I might be not really sure, need to talk to Mike and Al first.

But I can provide equipment, ingredients and finish up the brew if I do get a brew partner, I would not be able to start it however, I gotta work in Baltimore for at least half the day.

 

[jezter6]

Don't know what you're talking about man. I know I'm doing a Saison with Ryan - did you talk to Mike about splitting a batch?

 

[SnallygasterBrewery]

I would definitely be down for that, if I didn't have a business meeting to go to. Business... always getting in the way of mah pleasure! Have a few for me and I'll try to make the next one. Would be nice to meet some new cool people.

 

[Yunus]

Nah,

It's a guard weekend. And I gotta be there Sunday morning early, so if there is a couch to crash on, I can split a batch with Cugel and be there for at least the second half of the brewday saturday but I hate to ask again, you guys are probably getting sick of me

Nice to see another Fredneck in the group.

Hey Al, here is my thoughts on a recipe (from Farmhouse Ales)

I have the pils and the Styrian Goldings. You wanna get the EKGs and the wheat? I am sure I have the sugar too. Yeast is up to us?

Wow, that's a whole lot of pils and not so much wheat. I'm down for anything though, if you trust the recipe - then I'm in. I'll get the wheat and EKGs. I'll grab yeast at the store, you need me to pick anything up for you?

 

[Ryan_PA]

Nah, I'm good. Thanks though.

 

[Madman]

I'm still trying to decide what I want to brew. I should have thought to bottle that ESB for brewday. I doubt it would be ready after 1 week in the bottle...

 

[dataz722]

I'm thinking of an IPA of some sort, not sure though.

 

[Ryan_PA]

Before I post for the general public, anyone interested in a 2 port cold plate?

 

[claphamsa]

i see no way that could be better than my l33t CFC

 

[dataz722]

Before I post for the general public, anyone interested in a 2 port cold plate?

How much?

 

[Ryan_PA]

For anyone over 5'6", $30. 5'5" and under $100.

Awesome, i'll have a friend buy it off you!




*******.

 

[Ryan_PA]

You want it Mike? I can bring with me if you want to check it out first.

 

[dataz722]

Yeah, I'll probably want it.

You want to split a batch?

 

[dataz722]

You want to split a batch?

Yeah, we will need to borrow someone keggle though.


I did just buy a angle grinder so in the next few weeks mine should hopefully be done.

 

[jezter6]

I have 2 kettles, and ryan and I should only need 1 for our batch...

 

[dataz722]

You want to split a batch?

If I don't end up going to Baltimore tonight I will work on making a recipe. Any style in particular you want?
