Yankee Ingenuity VI- Mud season session 2008

[Glibbidy]

I'm trying to wrap up the ski season here in VT, and thinking about how Yankee Ingenuity VI may unfold. Evanmars mentioned something about hosting the next YI event.
Seems some of us are getting that itch to brew together again. So with that said. I'll start the thread.:rockin:

 

[the_bird]

I'm in. I'll offer to host, too, if need be. It'll be just the excuse I need to buy myself a nice smoker...

 

[Zymurgrafi]

I'd love to depending on when it ends up being. Looks like I missed a great one last time...

I will keep checking back.

 

[evanmars]

Looks like I'd better get busy getting the place cleaned up and ready.

Post your choice of dates. We'll try for the date with the most votes.

 

[the_bird]

Not the weekend of May 3rd. That's my one huge, can't get-out-of-it conflict. Unless your wife wants to babysit my daughter while we brew

 

[Glibbidy]

So far 5/10 and 5/17 look pretty good for me.

 

[Jester369]

Always it's the Saturdays with you guys! I have my boys during the day on Saturdays so it pretty much rules out brewing for me.

 

[the_bird]

I'm not locked into Saturdays; Sundays are equally good.

 

[Glibbidy]

I'm not locked into Saturday's either. I'm just throwing out dates that look good to me. I'm flexible and can typically mash in at any time of the day with some notice.

 

[evanmars]

Just so's you know, I'm good with any weekend day in May.

Do we want to put a poll up? Can you vote for more than one selection in the polls?

Should we limit it to only Sundays if Jester promises to bring Red?

 

[evanmars]

All right then. May 18th or May 25th?

 

[the_bird]

Whatever's most convenient for Red...

 

[Glibbidy]

No can do the 25th. I'll mostly likely be out of town.
The 18th looks doable.

 

[Hippie]

Hey Boys!
Yeah, I'm gettin' Itchy! I can't commit to any date with my schedule, but will try to make it for any date...

 

[the_bird]

Is everyone cool with the 18th? Have we heard from the, uh, redheaded contingent?

 

[Jester369]

Sorry - we had a busy weekend playing - I'll point her to this thread...

 

[JestersRed]

i usually work weekends in the summer and i don't know my schedule yet. i'll know more in a week or so... sorry to keep you hanging.

and of course even if i miss the 18th, jester and i will organize a brew party of our own this summer. or i'll organize it and volunteer jester's house... and beer... muah hahahaha!

 

[the_bird]

Whatcho talkin' 'bout, Red? May isn't summer - especially in Vermont!

 

[evanmars]

Maybe it is this year. 15 F above normal temps?

 

[JestersRed]

well "summer hours"

 

[evanmars]

So I guess it is 18-MAY-08. Yes?

 

[Glibbidy]

Yes, Sounds good. Count me in for May 18, 2008.

 

[chillHayze]

Brew one for me, fellas! (Or buy me a plane ticket and UPS my stuff out)

 

[evanmars]

Interested parties PM me for directions.

 

[the_bird]

Interested parties PM me for directions.

I spent WAY too many years of my life on your street!

 

[joebou4860]

I will be travelling in the new england area from the 15th until the 20th. I might be able to sneak out there if this throw down happens.

 

[Glibbidy]

Do we need to bring anything in addition to our brewing equipment?

 

[evanmars]

Probably going to grill some brats and burgers or anything anybody wants to bring. Bring something to share. I'll let somebody else coordinate dishes if it is deemed necessary. Or you could just post here what you plan on bringing.

Do we want to make this a family affair? I have a 6 year old daughter. I could kick her and my wife out if it is just an adult only thing. Being a Sunday, I don't see too many getting totally faced and out-of-control. I've got a fairly good sized back yard for the kids to play in. Not many toys, just a swing set. I might get a volleyball/badmitten set.

I've got one hose and no splitter, so if anybody has one, please bring it.

 

[the_bird]

I've got a four-way splitter, I'll bring that and an extra hose.

I think my wife would appreciate a family-friendly affair. She's got a badmitten set if you want us to bring it. Your call, though - they could always swing by to say hi and go hang out up at Grandma's house, though.

 

[evanmars]

I spent WAY too many years of my life on your street!

Too many as in, "I'm not going to set foot on that street again!" or as in, "That girl was crazy, but maybe she has moved so it should be safe to go to the brewfest."?


Edit: I guess more of the latter.
