Yooper Brewday this summer?

[lschiavo]

I'm planning on it.

Cool. I hope it works out.

BTW, I just clicked on your gallery and I think we have the exact same keggerator setup. 4 taps, the fridge may be identical and the KBC sticker

Cool! I should update my gallery - didn't know anyone ever looked at those!

Hopefully we'll see you there!

I want to go but it will depend on a few things.
The weather needs to be nice enough to ride the bike or I can't go because of the cost to drive my jeep that far.
Also I wife eill be returning from Uganda a day or two before this and she did not seem happy about me taking off right after she gets home, and she does not want to go.

Well that is slightly more commited than a "No" I hope it works out for you and this thing still comes together.

[Yooper]

So is there an official date? I browsed back 3 pages and didn't see it...

M_C

I have it on my calendar for August 6th. Last I talked with Yooper, she said there was not much interest and it probably would not happen. I hope thats not the case. It was a good time last year. Anyone out there actully willing to comit?

We had talked about Aug 6. But the only "yes" answer I got were from Odawg and lschiavo. Xiang said he'd come probably, but his wife can't. FSR, maybe you and Xiang could carpool? I can't help with her return from Uganda, though!

If it's Tiber, Odawg and lschiavo, that'd be great. But they're (relatively) local, so I'd be up for a different date if it works for them and others.

I'm planning on hosting Homer whenever he comes- he wants to see my electric brewery, lschiavo's electric set up, and of course Tiber's, I'm sure! We "locals" could get together when Homer is up for a get-together. I'm open to anything. Homer's wife is really a nice person, and I enjoy her very much (and Bob thought she was great), so they are welcome anytime to stay at the cottage, brewday or not!

 

[Tiber_Brew]

I'm in!

Also, anyone in the area is always welcome to check out my brewing system and do some sampling of course!

Looking forward to it!

Where are you? I'm in Crystal Falls. You are welcome to stop by for a few anytime here as well.

I understand. My wife does not like people until she gets to know them.

Well Tony offered to carpool so that took care of that but last night I was told that the wife will be flying in from Uganda on the 5th. So me being there on the 6th is not going to happen. Maybe it the date does change it will work or not. I really have no idea.

Well, let me know! I'd love to have you come. I know that Tony has vacation at that time, so I'm not sure if he's flexible or not. I'm very flexible, so "majority rules" is fine with me!

 

[Homercidal]

Yeah, I mentioned that you were probably going to be there when we visit and she said she did. She's actually more social than I am though, so it's not so much she doesn't like people, just doesn't go out of her way to meet new friends.

Well come on up when we get together if Yooper says it's ok! I mentioned to Kris yesterday that we need to nail down a schedule and she had mentioned maybe coming down at any time during the week and I told her no way. It's got to be on a weekend cause of the brewday thing that might happen. She is flexible (just excited to have a week off from work, they are really getting crazy busy!) and we also have to work in a visit to a college or two while we are up there if we can. Although I don't know who's going to be open for a visit during summer months.

I don't know Tiber's schedule at all, but lschiavo and I are both flexible and can at least give brewery tours during the work week. So if it works out that you and Kris must come on a weekday, that's no big deal at all. We won't have the big brewday (if it happens!) on a weekday, but we can certainly brew on my system or lschiavo's and give you the info on those electric set ups.

Tiber lives close to MTU, so he'd probably be ok with a non-weekend visit, at least a short evening one, but of course I can't speak for him!

If you do come on a day when the "locals" can come, weekday or not, we'll at least put together something.

If Kris wants to stay flexible due to weather, you can always pick a nice day to come visit the cottage and stay there if you'd like. The kayaks and paddle boat are always down by the shore, ready for use!

My wife is very social and outgoing. I am much more of an introvert so I can relate.

Unfortunately, my summer isn't as flexible as I'd like it to be. I'm perfectly fine with weekday visits, but I will be out of town for a family reunion near Ludington that week until Thursday night. So I'm free that following weekend (22nd - 24th July) for a brew tour and sampling.

I penned the weekend of Aug 6th in my calendar, but my other weekends are filling up quick. So if we decide to move the brew day to another weekend, I'll have to do my best to be there!

I'd love to come up if it was another weekend. I'll have to check on the July date. Would be a bit of a drive, but I'd love to meet ya'll. I'd also be ok if we needed to push it out to September.

It's long drive, no doubt. Check around. There is usually a brewday downstate at least once or twice a year. Plus various clubs. Maybe a few members could meet at a club brew somewhere.

If we can find the time, I'd like to host one. Just have to clear it with the wife, since she is the one concerned with how the house looks and is better at organizing social events. I'd be all like, 'oh yeah, the bathrooms in the house.."

September would be better for me, actually. The thing is, the weather in September can be rather "iffy" around here.

 

[conpewter]

I'd also be good with any other weekend in august, but don't plan it all around me, if everyone is good with the 6th, go for it. Maybe i can just stop by on my way up to visit friends in the eastern UP

 

[Yooper]

I know Xiang is talking about coming, and of course us "locals". But Bob told me tonight he's inclined to cancel without a bigger turn out from people.

Is that a threat? Who made Bob the boss anyway?

BTW Yoop, my wife likes the new avatar. i preferred the brewmistress

Well, he's the one providing the fish! If we don't want to eat, then we're still good!

I like this avatar much better. It might stay for a while!

 

[Homercidal]

How many people do you want to show up?? you could always open an ad in the paper promising free beer. If I know Yoopers at all....

Haha...that might not attract the right crowd.

 

[Yooper]

Wellllll, I only have one person that's not "local" (Tiber, you're sorta kinda local) that said "probably". I think the brewday is off, at least on that day.

Homercidal is coming this way in July, and I think SeaBee John is coming over this way also, but we don't have anything organized. Conpewter said he may be able to visit, and Azscoob is "iffy" too.

Everyone is invited at anytime, but if we want an organized day someone will have to give me a poke and tell me they're coming!
