The Second Annual Masstoberfest 10/3/09

[paulthenurse]

Hey, who's thinking about signing up for the ompetition and what are you thinking of entering.

I'm going to enter my porter, a Belgian funkadelic that I have going on downstairs and maybe my IPA.

 

[babalu87]

CB how far is PTN's mansion from your humble abode?

 

[Cape Brewing]

.. 'bout half hour or so. Not horrible but it ain't next door.

You can pick me up on the way.

 

[babalu87]

Was thinking more along the lines of I better walk back to Brians place and sleep it off on the couch in the bar

 

[Cape Brewing]

...bring the camper.

I'll enter. I have a Milk stout and my own Imperial Oatmeal Stout. maybe my Bohemien Pils will be ready.

How the hell have I not seen this thread until now?

I was wondering the same thing.

10/3 should work for me as well. I expect the only competition I'll be entering is pig eating, but I'll see if some magic can happen.

 

[thedude123]

I should have an IPA for the Comp. I will see if anyone from the brew club would be interested as well.

 

[CrankyOldLibrarian]

That day works for Kim & me.

Right now, all I have a coffee porter w/ a hint of habanero on tap. It's pretty mediocre (so not competition worthy), but I'll bring some to sample. I'm hoping to brew this weekend. If it's any good, I'll enter it.

 

[DrinksWellWithOthers]

So is there going to be any brewing that day?

 

[Cape Brewing]

Be careful... he'll say yes, start it and then make you finish it.

 

[JustMrWill]

10/3???? I am pretty sure I'll be back from the real Octoberfest (Munich), Prague and Amsterdam trip...(last stop is Amsterdam...so..I HOPE I find my way to the plane).

IF I make it back...I'll bring the brown ale I brewed 2 weeks ago.

What are we looking at...10-11ish till o-dark-thirty?

Don't sell yourself short, Hippie! I fully expect you to win, place or show in the pig eating. I'll most likely be your chief competition. I should probably put in a few more workouts, get some more training in. Once I get my smoker back from Worcester I'll start logging the miles. It's a tough job but I'm up to it.

I don't know if I'm going to brew, mostly just because at this point I'm just looking for an easy, no stress party. (Other than cooking a whole hog for a whole bunch of folks.) But if anyone else wants to they are certainly welcome. And I could probably be talked into it, but at this point I'm just thinking I'll handle the cooking, organize the competition and that will keep me busy enough. If anyone wants to use my keggles and save themselves the bother of hauling all of their gear here they are welcome to do so.

Sorry Hippe n Paul. If Sloan and I show up, we will school on eating swine.

-Will

Like the last few parties, come anytime after noon, leave whenever you must. Last call will be when the very first one of the following occurs:

1. We run out of beer/wine/food. (Highly unlikely.)

2. The cops come and shut us down. (Unlikely, I have cool neighbors, some of whom are town cops who will probably all be there.)

3. Babalu breaks out his Dungeons and Dragons dice.

4. The third fistfight breaks out. (Lets face it, it ain't a party without at least one fistfight, the second one is generally just youthfull exuberence so that don't hardly count. But if we get to three things are getting out of hand and I'll pull the plug. Unless its between chicks. Nuff said.

5. Hippie decides to go skinnydipping in the goldfish pond. (Of course, that will clear out the place PDQ and I won't have to do a thing.)

6. Any talk about sacrificing a virgin (i.e. Yeager) on the bonfire. (Ok, I might just let that one go.)

[JustMrWill]

Nice...I will be there then. Gonna get a list of what peeps are bringing so we don't have 24 of the same thing?

-Will

PS - Do you need any help with anything? Need any supplies? (cups, forks plates etc)?

[paulthenurse]

That's a great idea, Will. Thanks!

 

[Melana]

Leah and I will be there... perhaps with apple cake!

 

[Bulls Beers]

Hey Paul, If you need anything, Send me a text.

 

[the_bird]

I might try and make it down this year. A whole hog, you say?

 

[paulthenurse]

If I had a nickle for every time you've said you were coming... Well OK I wouldn't have much.

Hope you can make it this time, Jay, Those of us on the east end of the Pike would love to have you hang with us.
Bring The_Wife &The_Bean, they are certainly welcome.

And yes, a whole oinker. I call it The_Pork.

"Er.., I can't make it, my B-I-L is having a wisdom tooth removed that day..."

Or some other ludicrous excuse. Sheesh

Well, I think I shall make it and (finally) bring something I brewed, Bradsul's Stout recipe, some plain, some caf'd (supply is coming to an end), and maybe some basic mellowing mead, nothing fancy.

If BullBeers, aka Brian, can't make it I' ll drink for two, then?

Other: I drove part of my brewing stuff to the Cape this a.m., keeping an eye for cops, for fear of having to explain what all this equipment is for.. "See Officer, that is Maris Otter, best malt around... The funnel? Ah, the funnel is for... well.."

I did play some Albert King (says to SRV: "Let's play some blues..!") to my malt, we shall see how it will turn out.

Cheerio.

 

[paulthenurse]

I generally go with BB King or Eric Claption but I sure can't find any fault with Albert King.

Next time we brew together we'll do a Buddy Guy and Memphis Slim high stepin' mash.

I always play the Blues while brewing

Same thing I listen to waiting for CB to pick up his phone/answer e-mails etc

The heartbreaker was listening to my little girl keep asking
"Daddy, are we going to the house with the little boys........they're so cute"
