Plan on beginning the Big Brew on Saturday around 9-10 am. At least I will be. Everyone welcome to come a bit later and get set up. I would rather no one started really late, as I have to get up at 3 am on Sunday.
Please remember that I have no way to heat up or mash the amount of water, etc that we have done at Mel's in the past. You will need to bring a way to heat your water, mash your grain, and boil the wort.
I have 8 batches worth of grain, plus the Nottingham yeast called for in the recipe. I more people show up, I wouldn't mind brewing something different. I do need to know in advance if more batches are needed, however.
Please reply ASAP if you will be here, or if you want a "kit". Also, if you want the "kit" ground.
Thanks.
Jim

Hi Jim, I plan on being there. I want to do a 10gal batch. If there are more people attending than grains you have, i can bring my own. I need the grains ground. I will have three burners, one would be available for someone else to use to heat water. Also my biol kettle ( 15gals) and hot liqueur tank (15gals) would be available for others to use to heat water. If someone needs to use them please let me know so we can talk about a schedule for the day. cell 963-4532 or email da...@djdietz.com Do you need hoses for chillers? Cheers, Dave

Dave, I have enough long hoses, I only have two outside faucets, but I
picked up a manifold that I can hook up to one of my long hoses that
we can run four hoses from . If you have a couple short hoses they
may come in handy when cooling things off. I kept getting
interrupted when making my original post from work, but wanted to get
a dialogue started. I have time to make more sense now. I will grind
6 batches worth, and have the ingredients separated that way. I will
be doing a 10 gallon batch also, as Steve and Marcia are coming
(YAY!), but don't have their own equipment. They will take 5 gallons
at the end of the day.
We will be brewing in and around the garage. I have a 12x12 pop up
shelter I plan on putting up outside the garage. If anyone has
another, it may be handy, depending on the weather.
Oh, the price for a batch comes out to $20.18, which includes a packet
of Nottingham dry yeast. If you don't want the yeast, the price drops
to $15.68. Will add more info as information becomes available. We
are working something out for food. Believe we will be hot smoking a
turkey that should be ready by early morning. Don't feel like you
have to bring food. I am sure we will be not be in danger of
starving. Hopefully the weather will enable me to bake on Thursday or
Friday, so we can have some fresh buns for sandwiches.

Greetings. If anyone (Dave?) needs an extra portion, they are welcome
to mine. I cannot brew on Saturday since I have to work in the
afternoon and will not have time to do a brew... though I plan to come
in the morning until time to go to work. If not needed by someone
else, I'll take a 'batch' and cook it up later on. I'm good either way
and have more than enough brewing I need to do. See you all Saturday
morning.
