South Central Pa. Brew Day 5/31

[Evets]

OK folks, I'm pleased to announce that I have received permission from SWMBO to host a brew day at our home in Lancaster County Pa. on Sat. May 31 for all of you who would care to attend. I've got plenty of room for everyone to set up their own equipment. I'll provide water for brewing and the basic B-B-Q fare. Feel free to bring other food items as you may care to.
I have a fair amount of floor space for those who don't want to drive home, and even more for those who'd rather pitch a tent. All of you are welcome. I'm easy to find, just a mile and a half off exit 286 of the Pa. Turnpike. Please PM me for further info and directions. I Hope to meet a lot of new friends on May 31st!

 

[imasickboy]

You said "pitch a tent".

*giggle, giggle, snort*

I'll talk to SWMBO and get back to you.

 

[froggyfrog]

Yes please!

[Evets]

Is that you, Jeremiah? Good to see you here!

 

[imasickboy]

Yeah, that's him.

And it's a go, I'll be there.

I would've love to brew that day but will be camping that weekend.

 

[RoaringBrewer]

Just caught this thread now... Hopefully I'll be able to make this. I'll let you know in the coming weeks, but shouldn't be a problem with this much notice!

 

[Evets]

Bump
Just want to make sure everyone who may want to attend knows about it.

 

[Bobby_M]

Hmm, it looks like 2.5 hours for me. Dang, that's like an hour further than I promised myself I'd ever drive for brewing. Of course, then ollllo does a cross country flight for a brew day and makes me feel inadequate ;-)

 

[Evets]

Bump
I'll probably brew early, around 7 or so, and maybe do another later on. Anyone is welcome to show up as early as 7 AM.

 

[Ryan_PA]

Huh, I may be interested in this. I am a brewer without a brewery at the moment, and would love to finally meet some good HBT people. I may be up for the drive.

Bobby, if you want to drive the 1.5 hrs to my place, we could car pool out to amish-ville.

Come on now it may be Amishville around here but I do have all my teeth!

You know it is bad when that has to be stated.

Yeah, well, I wish I could say the same!

 

[imasickboy]

With all the Lancaster-area brewers here, and so few takers, this thread deserves a bump!

Good Idea.

I will try and make that weekend as yes there are a lot of us Amish brewers around here. Even though I a "Western other side of the river amish brewer".

 

[imasickboy]

Anyone have any ideas what they may brew that day?

I have some ideas, but may end up brewing all of those before then.

So, myself, I have no idea...

I really have not given the recipe any thought although I do have some Belgians I wanted to brew this summer. I might brew a farmhouse ale or a Wit.

 

[Evets]

Yeah, I don't know. Too far away yet. It depends on what I brew between now and then. I'll probably keep it simple, though, with all the activity to possibly get distracted. No step mashes or decoctions or such.

I've actually goten away from doing step mashes. I find that the type of grain seems more important than the type of mash.

 

[Ryan_PA]

I made it onto the "family calendar", so I am as good as gold for this.

As of now, I am kicking around the idea of either a late oktoberfest, or an alt. There is a darn good chance I will change my mind by then though.

Any philly area brewers that want to take the trip out, let me know, perhaps we can car pool or at least do a caravan.

Time for a bump.

 

[Evets]

Man! Bumps don't last long around here, do they!?

 

[imasickboy]

No, they don't...

Isn't the 31st also supposed to be the Philly Pub Crawl?

 

[Evets]

I don't know.
I'm not going.

 

[Warrior]

No, they don't...

Isn't the 31st also supposed to be the Philly Pub Crawl?

I'll be at Evets brewing. I'm going to philly this Sat to judge 1st rd at AHA nationals. Spending the night and will probably hit Noddinhead and Monk's Cafe. Since I'll be in town, might as well visit some new places I have not been to yet.

 

[imasickboy]

I'll be at Evets brewing.

Me too. I'd much rather make beer than buy beer, anyway.

Does anyone coming have any amarillo that they'd like to trade for? Choose what you want, and I should either have it, or should be able to easily get it. I just can't bring myself to pay those outrageous prices that amarillo is fetching these days.

 

[Evets]

I think I've got 8 oz. in the freezer. I'd be happy to share an oz. or two. Some EKG or Styrian would be nice if you have any.

 

[imasickboy]

Some EKG shouldn't be a problem.


I've been mulling over my brew schedule, and I think I'll brew a Nugget Nectar inspired Imperial Amber that day, provided I don't suddenly run into a bunch of extra time before then, in which case, we may be sampling the Imperial Amber instead.
