Hello everyone, my name is John. Let me be succinct.
I'm been reading HBT for awhile; it is good. I've got about 15 extract brews under my belt and 2 AG. I need help but have a very low post count, so I just bought a membership, which I feel should give me instant street cred.
Formalities aside, I'm getting married May 20th, and my fiancee just told me that she wants me to brew the beer for the reception. This is a primary example of why I love the woman.
We're expecting about 250 people, 150 of which I estimate to be beer drinkers. My calculations tell me that I need 40-50 gallons o' brew.
For primary suds making equipment, I've got a couple a keggles and a 10 gal Rubbermaid MLT. I've only done 5 gallon batches, but I imagine that I could do some 10 gallon jobs with my equipment.
What I need help with is developing a nicely rounded repertoire of malty freshness for a large relatively diverse crappy beer loving set of people.
Any recommendations for a set of 4 or 5 10 gallon batches which will be unique yet somewhat complimentary? The winner get a 6-pack in the mail once they're ready.
