Brewing an IPA with a buddy for Teach a Friend to Brew day at our LHBS.

I'll be brewing an oatmeal stout on Sunday. More accurately a bourbon oaked vanilla coffee oatmeal stout. This is my first attempt at something this complex so I'm studying up on a lot of techniques:
- dark grains added late in the mash
- how to prepare and use bourbon soaked oak cubes
- how and when to add coffee
- how and when to add bourbon soaked vanilla beans
I'm really hoping for success on this as its turning into an expensive batch.
Sunday I'm doing my second batch of Janet's Brown Ale. Its so good I need to start doing 10 gal batches because it goes so quick.
Yaknow. Just had a thought. You know how much fun it could be to be brewing on the front porch/front of the garage while kids are trick or treating? You can dress up like you are making meth and no one would make stupid comments. Well, hopefully not. I am sure the parents supervising your kids would say trick or treat and you can give them a sample of homebrew and maybe end up with a whole neighborhood of homebrewers.
Boiling an APA with Equinox and Summer hops right now.
