Yankee Ingenuity VII - August 30-31 2008

[Glibbidy]

I'm in for certain.

 

[kappclark]

Glib-

Carpooling via BF is a swell idea ... we can split gas $$. I would habe burner/tank, 2 pots, chiller and 5 gal cooler..and a sleeping bag, of course ..think we will have enough room ?

 

[Glibbidy]

..think we will have enough room ?

I'll bring the van, so we'll have plenty of room.

 

[Jester369]

Directions have been PM'd

See you this weekend!

 

[Zymurgrafi]

So Jester369,

Do you want us to bring any food (other than what I mentioned) for dinner or whatever?

 

[the_bird]

For better or worse, I don't think I'm going to have time to collect all of the ingredients to make my mussels, but if there's anything else you want me to bring along, let me know. I'm going to bring a keg of my American Smoked Stout.

 

[Jester369]

I think I'm just going to come up with a menu (and get the stuff) and post it here, and if anyone wants to bring something else that's cool too! Bummer about the mussels - those were tasty! Excellent about the smoked stout - since the manifold fiasco, I only have my Ordinary Bitter on tap (that's the one I brewed at evanmars' last time).

 

[Jester369]

Ok, so I am thinking about keeping it simple.

Dinner:

Bacon Cheeseburgers on the grill (I grind it fresh), hand cut fries, coleslaw, maybe corn on the cob.

Breakfast:

Bacon Buttermilk Waffles (can you tell I like bacon?), Eggs, Toast, etc.

Sound ok? (I know not to you, Zymurgrafi but you've got your food covered, right?)

 

[the_bird]

So, I'll just bring the keg and hook it right up to the kegerator then? I won't worry about bringing the charger and picnic taps. I'll check the carbonation level on my Amarillo-APA, too; it's only been on the gas about a week, but it might be carbed up enough (just pretend it's English).

 

[Zymurgrafi]

Sound ok? (I know not to you, Zymurgrafi but you've got your food covered, right?)

as long as there ain't bacon in everything I'll manage. I'll just bring supplemental... Can always live on beer I suppose.

Better bring the charger, too. I am using my old single line regulator for the bitter. I might pull the two suspect regs out of the manifold and see if that solves the problem and if so we can just hook your keg up to it, but we might need the charger for a backup.

Yeah, I haven't figured out a way yet to get bacon into corn on the cob!

 

[the_bird]

Actually, I'll bring my spare tank/reg, as long as I have room in the car (as well as the charger). Easier to use that; set and forget.

 

[JestersRed]

this weekend is gonna be funn.... too bad i have to work on saturday otherwise i'd be there for the afternoon... :-D see y'all tomorrow night!

I'm fine with Swine, but don't touch the red meat. I'll bring along some Tempeh to grill as well as some tomato basil & fresh mozzarella salad, and maybe even some thai cucumber salad.
along with a few growlers of my Super Pilz.

 

[kappclark]

My brown ale has vanished, thanks to an eager son onf mine who is just off to law school, so I have no homebrewed suds to contribute (not that there will be any kind of shortage (smile) ...

Can I bring some McNeill's at least ?

 

[Glibbidy]

Can I bring some McNeill's at least ?

You'll only be able to get it in growlers. The bottling operation is not up and running at his new brewery yet.

Man...just got off the phone with my buddy offering red carpet treatment for moe. this weekend. AAACK! Not top worry, I'm still Stowebound.

 

[evanmars]

Almost wish I were coming home a couple of days early......

 

[Glibbidy]

I'll bring the white hose along.

Bird- You still got that splitter?

 

[Glibbidy]

Actually, I'll bring my spare tank/reg, as long as I have room in the car (as well as the charger). Easier to use that; set and forget.

May I borrow your spare tank & regulator while I'm lautering? I'm planninig on using a cornie as a HLT in an effort to bring minimal equipment.

BTW are you planning on bringing those cornies for me?

 

[Jester369]

I'll bring the white hose along.

Bird- You still got that splitter?

I do have a drinking safe hose now, but another one can't hurt!

 

[the_bird]

Hose splitter is on the list, as are your two new ball locks and your old pinlock keg.

 

[JestersRed]

ball licks?

bollocks?

OH! ball locks!

 

[the_bird]

EMERGENCY CALLOUT, before people leave...

Anyone have like half a pound of chocolate malt? I forgot I used mine up with the smoked stout. I've got a few ounces left, but otherwise I'll have to sub in some roasted barley, and I'd really like to do this recipe in true JZ-style. If you've got some, could you bring it along?

 

[Zymurgrafi]

"Like a half pound" or exactly a half pound?

I'll bring some along. It ain't pale chocolate like the pope uses though...

When is everyone figurin' on being there?

 

[the_bird]

Sorry Bill, those bombers just won't fit in the car. I could squeeze them in if I didn't have to save room for the_Bean (or the_Wife). I've got them separated out, I'll get them to you at some point.

I just finished packing the car, so I'm going to get changed and on the road soon. I should be there 1:00 -2:00 (depending on how long it takes to drop off Bean).

 

[Glibbidy]

I'm rolling out at 10:30 and will be meeting Kappclark in Springfield, VT to share the ride.
So I'm figuring We'll arrive between 12:30-1:30.

 

[evanmars]

Have tons of fun and take tons of pictures. (Of the brewday, I mean )

 

[kappclark]

Sorry - I ahve everything except the airlock ... I think a box of brewing extras got shipped of to son's college (ha ha)

Can someone please bring along an extra airlock ?? Thx in advance

Let's take plenty of pics for Evan, oooiilllllio and all our HBT friends.

 

[kappclark]

Bird -

Thx for trying w/bombers ... I am in great shape for now...

 

[evanmars]

Come on, somebody's got to be online. How's it going?
