Raleigh Area Group Grain Buy-Round 4

[Reelale]

Apparently stim and dal decided to get started early last night around 11 and brewed all night. Dal thought he might have used round up instead of starsan so it sounds like they had a good time!

Hahaha. Wonder if it works...?

 

[Walker]

brewing started at 2 today. dallas is just a spectator an is making foltster run the equipment.

 

[NCBeernut]

Alright. Paid. I was the last one - sorry for that. Let the games begin!

 

[Reelale]

Everyone has paid. I'll order as soon as all funds clear.

 

[Chad]

4500 pounds and $3000 worth of grain signed up and paid for in 10 days. Not bad folks, especially less than a month since the last one.

Maybe I should start a thread for round 5?

 

[mtbrider]

May not be a bad idea Walker. Today may be another brew day for me since I didn't realize I was off work until yesterday. That 1 sack may not last long once it gets here. I guess I need a recipe for a president's ale.

Lincoln Lager?

 

[Walker]

damnit!

I've been working for the same company since 2001. Never had Pres Day off. Got up, got showered, got dressed, drove 35 minutes to Durham.

The place is empty.

Calender of events on the wall by the coffee machine says;

President's Day - New Company Holiday for 2011.

Just remembered the LHBS is closed on Monday's and I got the 3 yr old for the day. Guess we will work on his bike skills instead.

I'm still working on the list of mistakes I made Saturday for my first AG, 1 of which is drinking too much before I got to sparging.

Is fifth season open? Might be another option if you're dead set on brewing and need something.

 

[Walker]

That's exactly what I'm going to do. Should be powered up by 10.

 

[mtbrider]

skee, I screwed up that recipe you gave me. Started drinking during my buddies extract batch, then went to pull up the recipe you sent me and opened the wrong email once I started the boil, so I ended up winging the hop additions a bit. I may send you guys the brewpal sheet to get you opinion on what I might end up with.

[Walker]

I wouldn't worry about it. If it was one of skee's recipes, it was messed up before he even emailed it to you.

 

[skeeordye11]

Just cause you can't figure out how to brew my recipes to perfection does not mean that they are flawed.

And it was a BM recipe anyway.

 

[ezzieyguywuf]

5th Season is open on mondays. I learned this last week, remember?

 

[mtbrider]

Definitely wasn't his fault. He sent me 2 links, I used the second(intended) recipe up until I got to the boil, then in my buzzed mind, somehow opened the first link and thought I got the wrong amount of hops.

Keep in mind that the LHBS lost my order when I went to pick it up, and in their hurry to crush all my grains, put all the grain in 1 big bag. so the grain bill was already different when I started.

Was this on Friday? I remember a dude (possibly you) talking with one of the guys about an order and it was only partially there or something. ?? I don't know I'm there waaaayyyyy too much as it is. Wait I think I tried your beer....

 

[mtbrider]

Yep, it was Friday, and That was one of their extract kits I made in January. It was the irish red ale.

What did you think? I didn't see anyone getting sick, so at least I didn't kill anyone.

They didn't have the order in the computer. I ordered online and had paid for it already.

 

[Hannable1975]

If you mean AB, I think their Irish Red extract kit is awesome.

 

[HoppyGus]

Dang I knew I should have said something. I would have invited you over for a brew. I am fortunate to live less than a mile down the road. I was the long haired hippie lookin guy.
Your beer was good. It could have used a little more hops but then again I say that about a lot of beers including my own. Keep at it. they tend to get better and better.

 

[mtbrider]

Thanks for the feedback. That kit is really good. I would like to convert it to AG to see if I can make it that way also.

You live down the road from American Brew Master, or 5th season? I live uncomfortably close to ABM.

Thanks for the incredible chance to get grain for my new brewing habit.
I just ran across this Raleigh grain buy To day, It may have been to late.
do not know if it is a done deal.
But put me in for the next one.
I PMed about getting a GW2row.

It all started when My son had to go and give me a Mr Beer for my last Birthday. Now I am all Keg, all grain and all clone. Of course after I am done tinkering It is not to much clone, but very good.
On tap, I have the biggest beer i have very brewed a Denny's rye IPA. It is carbonating in a Keg as we speak 63 IBU's and 9.2 ABV. spicy Dry hopped in the keg with colombus and cascade. I have been BIAB and made a whole 2nd running that is a great session beer.
The nice thing is when I get to much I can always ship beer over to my son at Chapel hill !

 

[Walker]

You just missed the boat on this one. We closed the window on orders last wednesday or thursday when we hit 2 full pallets of grain.

But, this will probably happen again in a few months, so keep your eyes peeled.

ABM
Uncomfortably close? Like standing in a packed line with a bunch of dudes?

 

[fbgillam]

Not quite.

I actually live uncomfortably close to the rainbow mart. It's about two miles away from ABM.

 

[mtbrider]

I live uncomfortably far from most things in Raleigh with ABM being one of them. I'm hoping they start a drop off point in the Clayton/Garner/Fuquay area soon.

My wife used to work across the street from the Rainbow mart.

Mtbrider, I smell business opportunity!
