Syracuse, ny - round 6 group grain buy

[copyright1997]

So what are you fellas drinking for the game today?

Nothing, as I am driving to someone's house and will have my child with me. But I will take with me (for others) some captain hooked on bitters (esb), some nut brown ale, some SN celebration clone, some blue balls (blue moon clone). [All home brews.] Also bringing some freshly baked (doing the rise now) spent grain raisin bread. I will partake in a couple myself when I get home and get my son to bed.

I'm bringing a keg of ubu clone to my buddy's party. And just started sparging the Denny's ryepa at home. This sun is out today too. Good to get out.

speaking of this trying some of the celebration clone now. Mine came out really good, definitely a fantastic beer. Wish I would have put aside some celebration to compare it, but I think it is pretty darn close.

you are gonna love that rye jeff.

I have some of the real stuff too. I can bring you a bottle, assuming you still have some of the clone left by the time the grain comes in!

luckilyu I brewed 11g ... so I have a good lot of this stuff

Looking forward to getting this grain so I can do Denny's rye ipa! Also planning a rye saison with 3711. What else do you guys make with rye?

I've got a bottle of Ommegang abbey ale for the game, and I hope we can finish off the rest of my pumpkin beer (turned out pretty good, fermented with WY1318 and subtle spices) and maybe my Christmas beer (which is great).

I'll bring you one of the real thing and one of mine. You bring one of yours for me to try? [As an aside, bottling is a PITA, especially after kegging. I'm getting better at it (ie. more efficient). But I'd rather keg and then bottle a few from the keg than doing the carbonation in the bottle...my beers have been getting nice and clear (in general) by cold crashing in the keg and not having yeast in the bottles.]

 

[jeffb418]

Bah, rushed brewing today and didnt sparge right. Came out low on gravity at 1.076 instead of my targeted 1.085.

The ubu clone went well at the party, the only thing... it doesnt taste like a 7.9% beer, so a few people got pretty smashed. But atleast they enjoyed it!

Yeah I hear you on all counts. That will be the hardest part for me committing to bottling it! But that sounds like a plan to me.

Jeff I am sure it will still turn out great.

ONLY 13 sacks to go! Keep the bags coming guys, almost there!

 

[jeffb418]

Bag and rally time!

Bag and rally time!

I'll pry grab another bag or two. Just not sure what...

 

[CidahMastah]

Yeah I plan on grabbing at least one more too, would love to close this mid week....

 

[jeffb418]

If the C-40 split doesnt close, I'm willing to go up to 1/3's. Anyone want to jump on this?

 

[bierhaus15]

Added 5 more bags!

 

[copyright1997]

Added to 2GUNZ split. Trying to decide what to get if I get one more sack.

The beers I took to a superbowl party yesterday seemed to be well appreciated. The favorites were the SN Celebration clone (from those that like real beers) and the citrus Witt (Blue Moon clone but I used lemon instead of orange so it is less sweet and more citrusy) from those who are more BMC or non-beer drinkers.

 

[jbsengineer]

Jeff - You can remove split 28. I added a whole sack of cara pils down below. If someone wants to go in on a split with car pils we can re-adjust. I just wanted to make sure I got some.

I'm at .25, I would increase if needed.

Also, I just closed the chocolate split, added a bag of BZ-CRPL, and threw a little grain twogunz's way....

We are close!

Hey, want to do a 75/25 split on the carpils? I could use 1/4 bag. That cool with you?

[CidahMastah]

Wow awesome - 147 bags!!!



No sweat WAORGANY!


I think we closed a PBW so we might need 153 to get to 8000lbs - maybe Jeff can verify.

Keep the bags coming! Only one more split of there (Flaked Wheat). With summer coming I am surprised that no one has grabbed this. If I dodn't ahve a full bag of it myself already I would jump on it. (great for witbiers, sam summer ale, and lots of summer brews).

Keep going strong we need 8000 lbs!!

 

[CidahMastah]

Naw, I removed the 0.25 split of PBW since it didnt look like anyone was gonna jump on the split.

152 should still get us over 8000 lbs of grain weight.

Sure, can you make the change?

 

[jeffb418]

Done!

Thanks!

 

[jbsengineer]

Jeff - Could you also remove the flaked wheat split and just assign me the entire sack?

That will help the effort - need 4 bags!

 

[jbsengineer]

Anyone have any out of the ordinary base malts that are worth a try?

TF-OPTC is a different one I was considering to try. I have never tried it but you might have read that Jeff's buddy is all about it.
