[BrunstuckyJoe]

Thanks....hafta check that place out.

 

[TomTwanks]

I have the actual all grain recipe, send me a message and ill get it to ya!

 

[skibb]

Post it?

 

[rjschroed]

Hey sauce, any word on when we might be doing this contest so I can plan when I should get my brew on so that I can supply you guys at TBK a few fresh bottles?

 

[BrunstuckyJoe]

Boy, this thread sure screeched to a halt......so, what are we doing with this recipe?

 

[skibb]

Well sauce stopped dropping hints so we basically just have a list of ingredients!

 

[BrunstuckyJoe]

But rjschroad asked when we should have the batch done....

 

[sauce]

Sorry guys, got side tracked with work and the holidays....

So to give everyone enough time lets say the entries need to arrive by February 8th. I may open this up to local homebrew guys also. Was considering posting this to some other homebrew forums (ratebeers, beeradv, ect,,,) but they might see it as solicitation, so if its spreads to other discussions organically, thats fine;-)

Still working on the prize, a case of Rajah would be a no brainer, if the winner is close enough to come out to brew for a day that would be part of it. And maybe a pound or 2 of hops would be nice.

Shoot me an email so I know who is participating: Sauceybrewer at yahoo dot com.

Send 2 bottles, to the following address:

The Brew Kettle Production Works
20102 Progress Dr.
Strongsville OH, 44149

I'd love to brew with you guys for a day....I'm off between xmas and new years...hint hint.

 

[ThomEHof]

Wish it was more like mid to end of Feb, with Christmas and New Years hard to get a batch in.

Hey, i live in Strongsville thought be happy to help judge,

 

[ThomEHof]

Brewed a quick 3 gallon batch, hopefully can get this ready in time.

 

[BrunstuckyJoe]

I'm gonna brew my batch tomorrow......got what I was missing at the Brew Kettle before the storm hit.
How about everyone else?
Looks like only our two batches to compete so far......

 

[btch83]

Brewing my batch tomorrow as well! Good Luck Guys! Happy Brewing!

 

[BrunstuckyJoe]

Make that three.

 

[BrunstuckyJoe]

Any new news?

 

[ThomEHof]

Have not heard anything else from sause, I do have a short batch in the primary.

 

[BrunstuckyJoe]

I just transferred to the secondary and dry hopped the hell out of it....

 

[ThomEHof]

Just dry hopped, not sure it it will be ready by the 8th though. Joe, how long you dry hopping?

 

[BrunstuckyJoe]

One to two weeks.

 

[BrunstuckyJoe]

I'm gonna try force carbing for the first time bought a corny keg some time ago but never used it.

 

[BrunstuckyJoe]

Looks like two weeks in the secondary dry hopping.....will continue to clarify there.....hopefully it turns out great...anybody else working on theirs still?

 

[BrunstuckyJoe]

Just dry hopped, not sure it it will be ready by the 8th though. Joe, how long you dry hopping?

Looks like two weeks.

 

[btch83]

Yeah Thursday will be one week dry hop in secondary. Lots of trub at the bottom. We will see but I'm pretty stoked about this beer.

 

[ThomEHof]

Will Bottle Saturday

 

[BrunstuckyJoe]

Any updates? Have mine on co2 for almost two weeks at 12#.....gonna sample today.

 

[ThomEHof]

How did you make it two weeks without tasting?! I can only make it a week, usually enough to force carb. I do admit two weeks is best.

I bottled, so still need another week for first taste. Probably sneak a bottle next week-end.

 

[BrunstuckyJoe]

I had big probs with my corny keg. I carbed it up but barely comes out of the picnic tap....I ordered a new poppet and liquid out connect for it......I had a prob with the siphon out of the secondary and broke siphon and had to let the last couple gallons sit for another week to let the yeast settle......so I bottled this portion and tasted it yesterday......still can taste the yeast. Going to let it sit a while....Murphy's Law in full effect.

Hey Guys,

Sorry for the lack of follow up on this, brewey has been real busy with the addition of 2 40 bbls Fvs to brew into.

Anyways, If you guys wanna get your beers delivered here by Feb 22nd we can go ahead with the evaluation, I have received one thus far (thanks Mike C)...or if their is concensus to put it off till March thats fine too.

Thanks
JackK

 

[ThomEHof]

Will definitely get you two bottles by 22nd.

 

[btch83]

Man id do anything to push this to march. I wasn't happy with my turnout but still sent it in cause I didn't want to punk out. Would you guys be willing to do that? PLEASE!!!
