Hold on for a second, kids, while Daddy and Chris have a little talk.
Chris, do you remember me saying we would need to talk more, and not to go blathering anything on the thread until we had worked everything out? Yes THIS is what I meant, you Jackwagon!
OK kids, I'm back.
Here is what my esteemed partner and the cross I have to carry in the U Brew is bleating about...
We sat down with a pencil and paper and figured out volumes of grain and strike water. The Mega Tun is big, it's huge but it's not endless. It will easily hold all the ingredients for ten gallons and probably even for 15. Twenty it can't do. We haven't' done the calculations yet, or if Chris did he hasn't told me the results yet but the quick calculations we did on Saturday indicated that we are going to be tight. We also agreed to make only one major change per year. The major change this year is the Mega Tun. We agreed to not spend the $300 for the materials to build a new pot till next year. We are still arguing about whether one big pot is more efficient than 5 small ones. I can't make him see the light on that one.
So there we are. Yes we are still doing the brew. Yes we are still on for Feb 26. Yes we will end up with more than 10 gallons and will allow whomever wants a share of it to fight it out with switchblades, winner takes all. And yes, I am going to go strangle Chris right now.
