Yankee Ingenuity VI- Mud season session 2008

[blacklab]

I will be at the bottom of the Grand Canyon on that day. Enjoy the mud.

Hopefully rafting the Colorado?

 

[Glibbidy]

I'm feeding the 1056 yeast tonight, and Kappclark is swinging by my house on his way home from work Friday. You should have some pretty happy yeast Sunday morning.
Bird- I'm also sending along that WLP 550 (feeding it tonight too) for your Belgian Experiment. I'm also sending along that three gallon pin-lock for you.
I'll see what I can dig up out of my basement for you to enjoy Sunday. I think I have some of OlllllllllO's Saison and the Alaskan Smoked porter.

 

[kappclark]

same here in homebrew dept .. still need to bottle abt 10 gals ! will save some for the NEXT YI session, which will probably be in downtown Windham VT

 

[the_bird]

Glib, I hope that means that you're not definately out...

I'll bring along the other keg and the $$ for Bill to get back to you.

So, Evan, what time DO you want us to show up?

 

[Glibbidy]

Cool. Right now I'm definately in. I may have an unscheduled event to attend Saturday night. If that is truly the case, I may not be in any shape to brew Sunday.

 

[evanmars]

I plan on starting at 8:00. If you get there sooner, open up the garage and get your stuff set up. There is a hose in the front yard, to the left of the door.

 

[evanmars]

I need to pick up the food. Who is planning on attending and how many are you bringing?

 

[the_bird]

I'm definately there, I should have the wife and daughter in tow.

 

[Glibbidy]

I'll know more tomorrow evening. Count me in for now. No children.

 

[Jester369]

Me 'n Red will be there!

 

[paulthenurse]

Me 'n Red will be there!

Screw the stepdaughters college graduation in Jersey! If Red's going to be there, I'm in.






"What's that , Honey?"







Oh uhhhhh sorry guys, I guess I won't be there after all. I guess I'll go hide in the closet now.

PTN

 

[kappclark]

One from Windham with some happy yeast and other treats..

 

[the_bird]

Alright, so I'll be up pretty early (probably 8:30ish) and plan to make a couple batches; a spiced pale ale and an American Barleywine/strong ale. Wife and daughter will come up later on.

 

[evanmars]

I'm geeked.

 

[Glibbidy]

My wife threw a surprise party for me this evening. Ray Mcneill showed up with 10 growlers. It is unlikely I will be in any shape to brew Sunday. Have fun!

 

[kappclark]

Happy Birthday ! We will honor you at a special ceremony in Bennington ..

 

[the_bird]

Looks like it's going to be a real nice day. Glib, once the hangover subsides you could always take a nice little drive and just hang out for a while without brewing. I know how pleasant Rt 9 is on a hangover stomach, though!

 

[evanmars]

Hear ya there! The trip from Glib's house was not fun.

 

[JestersRed]

we're on our way...

 

[evanmars]

So, it is over. Weather was nice for most of the morning. Started to rain as everybody but Jester finished up. Then it stopped again as soon as he was done and took a hydro reading.

Left the photography to the pros.

It was a good time, fairly uneventful. With the exception that Jester & Red forgot their computer. Anybody know how to get hold of them?

[evanmars]

Guess I'll have an Apple to play with for a while. Let's see what this thing has on it. Got to be some good pics.

Just kidding.

How would you like to get you 'puter back? We could UPS it out tomorrow. PM me if you wish.


Yes, it was a very good time.


Thanks again to everybody that came.

 

[kappclark]

And thank you EvanMars for hosting this event .. What a wonderful place you have in Bennington and SOO much hop-growing space ...Great that we could all make the time..

I believe August is looking good for a Windham chapter to unfold in the never-ending Yankee Ingenuity Adventure. Maybe by then we will have some decent bandwidth here in the Mountains'

Pleasure To make some new friends from Stowe ! What a fine effort for 10 gallons of Bitter !

 

[JestersRed]

with what little battery life i have on my computer behold: the group picture.

thanks for a fun day! we must do again sometime soon!

 

[evanmars]

Is it just me, or does my house lean to the left?

 

[Glibbidy]

Are bird's eyes crossed? That's certainly how I felt Sunday morning myself. My apologies for not making the event, as my 40th birthday seems to be getting in the way of a lot of things this week.

 

[the_bird]

I'm already stoked about "Yankee Ingenuity VII: Northern Exposure"

 

[Glibbidy]

My August is booked with vacation stuff. The only dates I am available are 8/16, 8/23, 8/24. If we can agree on a date, I'll committ. Promise no flaking this time. Is Northern Exposure going to be up at Stowe or Windham?

Did everyone get their yeast?

 

[the_bird]

Got the 1056 and the 550. Don't know the exact volume of 1056 I pitched (maybe a inch worth from the jar), but had HUGE fermentation this morning in a pretty modest beer. Send the 5-gallon keg and $$ over with kappclark, as well.

 

[kappclark]

1056 seems to be working in my 1044 ale .. bubbling away this AM

Glib - pls pm to let me know when/how I should drop off the goods.
