7Max-GTE Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 I'm thinking about having a brewing party sometime in the next month. Anyone who does home brewing, or has interest in home brewing is welcome to come and help plan. If you have any cool contraptions to bring, please do, since I do not have everything for a 'perfect batch'. Also this is BYOC (bring your own carboy!) Let me know if you are interested, what dates and times work for you, and what you might want to bring. Also it would be fun for everyone to bring a few bottles of their favorite beer. I'll start: Weekdays: After 5:00pm, Weekends: All day. I have: Boil proof ladle, EZ siphon and hose, funnel and screen, tub for sanitizing, sanitizer (the good stuff, not that iodine crap.) We will need: Banjo burner + propane, stock pot, thermometer, hydrometer. If you have some gizmo to steep grains or one of those cooling contraptions, bring it along! You will need (for your batch): Carboy, airlock, grain bags, the recipe and ingredients of your choice. Brewing is a fun, cheap, and easy hobby for anyone to get into, and if you have considered it in the past, this might be the perfect opportunity for you to see what's involved and watch the first phase done step by step!

Tat2d Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 I have been seriously considering trying the homebrew thing. I don't have any equipment, but would love to come see what is involved. And I'd be more than willing to bring a few dead guys or mirror ponds to share. My schedule is almost the same as yours. B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bswe22 Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 I have brewed a couple batches and have all the equipment for this. Sounds like fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bswe22 Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 I even have a wort chiller...lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7Max-GTE Posted September 22, 2011 Author Share Posted September 22, 2011 Bobby - This will be a fun introduction to the hobby. If you like it, you can borrow my copy of John Palmer's 'How to Brew'. Bryan - Is it the immersion kind that hooks up to the faucet? It would be fun to try one out. I always used the 'cold water in the bathtub' technique.

7Max-GTE Posted September 23, 2011 Author Share Posted September 23, 2011 Miles came by yesterday, and actually was the one to put this idea in my head. I'm waiting to see his response before I try to work out a date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
impur Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 Lets do it!! I can probably work out a few hours to join Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7Max-GTE Posted September 23, 2011 Author Share Posted September 23, 2011 How does everyone feel about Sat, Oct 7? That gives us enough time (Hopefully) to order whatever ingredients we need and allow for shipping time for cheapskates like me! Maybe sometime in the early afternoon to give us all enough time to brew a batch each? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
impur Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 I have some hops and maybe .5lbs of carapils and 45L Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bswe22 Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 Looks like I will be headed over to Valley Vintner and picking out a recipe(scratch) for next weekend. Anybody have any suggestions? I might even do two batches since i have 4 carboys(plotting). So you all know that when these brews are ready, we will have to get together again and drink them together.

7Max-GTE Posted October 1, 2011 Author Share Posted October 1, 2011 It looks like my sister planned a surprise visit for the weekend of the 7th, so it looks like we will need to reschedule. Does anyone have any problems with the next week? Sorry about the change! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

7Max-GTE Posted October 3, 2011 Author Share Posted October 3, 2011 I was hoping each person could brew their own batch, so we can get an idea of different styles and their composition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
