RE:Big no epic brew day

Hey everybody glad brew day went well wish I could have stayed.My day sucked just got home today. All will be good though. :HB

Ellis thanks for the props, awesome IPA for tasting

Howie in the end your brother will appreciate all you guys have done to help him wether he sees it now or not

Thanks to everyone that came out.

Gordon's any venison?

Too bad we only had one new guy come out BUT it looks likes he wants in on the club so that's no bad

See everyone in Dec

Now by my watch we should be ramping up the barrel project

I'll start a new thread with the group buy and list some basic pricing based on us doing the buy

I'll talk with brewtopia and see what they have to offer

yeah it was a perfect brew day!! loved the electric brew!!! Very Nice! SO the next meeting is on December 10th, and my big question is when exactly should we be brewing our Barrel brew?? and did we pick an exact recipe?? talk soon

We didn't pick an exact recipe I think we left it as everyone would do an imperial stout recipe of their choice of which there are a couple on this forum. We will be choosing the one AJ listed on this forum. If we all brew at least the same style it shouldn't matter when it all goes together.

As for when should we brew it I think it has to be done fermenting by jan 1

Now that brings up the question do we all bring money to the next meeting for the barrel?

Who is in?

I'm in. How much do we each owe? I'm also brewing this Wednesday. Can't wait to brew this beast! So glad we're doing this project! Love having an excuse to brew

I'm so in, it's not even funny also I know we talked about it a little, but me and brew dude mentioned to each other that we could possibly brew Tony's share. I know he really wanted to be involved, and no one can argue that without mr.bazooka the monks probably wouldn't exist. He might have moved to Alabama, but he still belongs in our barrel! (Insert revolutionary bazooka quote here)

As far as I know Tony is still a paid up member of the club so he is entitled to anything the club does regardless of where he lives, and I second everything else in your post!


On a side note, I thought my yeast pooped out on the stout I brewed Saturday as all airlock activity stopped MOnday night, I got some more yeast and prepped it to pitch again but when I checked the FG it was 1.022 which is where I was expecting it to finish. This is the first time I have used the danstar and must say DAYAM! That went quick! I swirled and raised temp to see if I can get a few more points but sample tastes good and smells outta this world.

(eye)HB.

Yo Comrades! I'm still kickin around the forum.
What is the decision on the recipe?
When do you need the batches to add to the barrel?
How much $$ you need for the barrel?

I'll figure out a way to get 5 gals of elixer up to NH.
