Official Maryland Big Brew Day 2008 Info 2/23

[98EXL]

we need to think about the next one.

Also I was thinking, if anyone wants to randomly brew on the weekends, I'm down, I'm a looser on the weekends....lots of drinking, and no one to brew with

I should brew with flytact more often, he's only a mile or less away

Hey Where are you maryland guys filling your CO2 tanks? Thanks, Charlie

I live in Baltimore and usually get my C02 at Harford Beverage Company.

Thanks for the tank info

Anybody have a 7-9 gallon pot I can borrow. I want to see if my stove top can bring 5 gallons of water to a boil. We have been talking about brewing w/out a propane burner in AG forum. If I can boil 6 gallons then Iwill buy a 8 gallon pot for 5 gallon system. I already have a Igloo cooler(5 gallon) and need a pot and chiller. The chiller can be used for a later upgrade to 10 gallons. So all I will be out is the pot. Plus I like the idea of smaller sized batches. Thanks Charlie

Not sure how big mine is - I think it's 30qt which should be 7.5 gallon pot, but I'd have to check when I get home.

If you're asking a general question not related to Brew Day, my extract IPA is rockin. I'm racking it into the secondary tomorrow. Tastes great.

How is everyone's brews doing?

There was active, visable fermentation as of Wednesday the 27th. It's stopped now and that's all I know.

Oh man! I wish I came across this earlier. I live in College Park and I would have been there in a heart beat. I have been searching for other homebrewers in MD for awhile now without much success. I was hoping to host a brewday party where we could all brew some beer and trade batches. Let me know if you are interested.

 

[Kevin Dean]

Plans are in the works for a sequel to MD Brew Day, and I'm sure that if you set something up yourself you'd get people to hop in (pun unintended but clever nonetheless).

 

[jezter6]

Yeah, we need to do a sequel so that I, and others, can make it. Need to plan this bastid and hopefully the host doesn't go AWOL on us.

My Haus Pale Ale is in primary, and has a strange odor that I've never smelled before. Hard to describe.

I've never had an infection so I don't know if this is one, or if it's just a fermentation odor I'm not experienced with. I'll taste it later this week -- I'm not giving up yet, it's probably fine.

[98EXL]

mmmmmmmmmmmm, sequel!

I was going to pickup a keg Sunday but that thing called work got in the way of it

I wanna do a 10 gallon batch soon!

 

[Jared311]

Any news on a sequel yet?

 

[jezter6]

Wow? How'd you resurrect this thread without seeing the 2 others about this?!?

We're meeting this saturday at 98EXL's house.
