Charity event brew day.

We're going to brew a 50+ gallon batch on Sunday, October 11th. We need help from any willing to take a carboy home to ferment and defer the cost of grains. The recipe will be Will's Blond Ale. Will is providing yeast, Kirk is providing hops.

We must have a number of volunteers to ferment. Please post how many carboys you can manage even if you can stay all day to help.

Location: Kirk's house-Hampton

This will be a quick and simple brew day. More hands makes the work easier so all are welcome.

Fermentation, in the

Fermentation, in the carboy's that I have, has slowed. May be ready for secondary Sunday or Monday. I have 1 available carboy to use for this. It will be like a 6 gallon shell game...

Sanitize, transfer, clean; sanitize, transfer, clean; sanitize, transfer, clean; sanitize, transfer, clean; sanitize, transfer, clean... With one bucket left empty at the end.

Oh and I have 3 cases of bottles that need to be picked up from a guy in NW Atlanta who is moving and wants to get rid of them. These, along with the 120 or so I already have, will help out.

We have rain coming in.

That doesn't generally stop most of us from brewing, but I'm a bit worried about using the "Seismosaurus" Barrel and a Half system with it raining. My deck umbrella my simply not be enough. If anyone has an "easy-up", yes we may need more than one, please bring it with you...

Thanks!

Mike tells me that Doug has some pilsner malt on sale for $1 a pound. Though I don't know if that would be a good fir for this recipe...

Tue, 10/06/2009 - 7:21pm — mbischoff

Spoke with Will Monday

Will said we can get a deal on the 2-Row malt. That said, anyone wanting to do a pilsner or Euro Lager will be hard pressed to find Belgian Pils for $1 per pound anywhere else.
