</div>Just a few warnings:<br>
<br>
1. HCoop board meeting is at 1 p.m. on the 24th so you lose both bpt and<br>
me until at the earliest 3 p.m. Alternatively there is Saturday, but<br>
uhhhh look at the weather forecast.<br></blockquote><div><br>If we get a late start I won't sweat it. My aim is to be flexible. <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">
<br>
2. No brewing can happen here whenever it is that we move. I assume this<br>
for some multiple day period August 25th -> September 6th or 11th.<br>
<br></blockquote><div><br>BPT, can brewing occur at Chamberlain Ave during that window? If not, we can try to sneak in a brew/bottle just before.<br> <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">
3. I have a slate of relatives visiting starting August 1st. Between the<br>
1st and 8th every room will be occupied (bonus room included) and so<br>
I really have nowhere to store a fermenter that needs the fan without<br>
pissing someone off. Given that it'll be 100F+ for the next week or<br>
three ... the fan has to run at full power to keep everything even in<br>
just the upper 60s... after the first set leaves it's just my aunt<br>
kathy's kids and I can tell them to stuff it.<br>
<br>
4. Glass is off limits right unless I want to do one small batch because<br>
moving that is unsafe.<br>
<br></blockquote><div><br>Better Bottles are a-ok with me; I cannot pretend to detect any difference in taste :)<br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">
5. I don't really have a way to move beer even in Better Bottles. I can<br>
ride in the backseat of a car protecting two fermenters however.<br>
<br></blockquote><div><br>I will provide all necessary transportation of fermenters. We can host them here while fermenting and conditioning (and even do the bottling here when we are not simul-brewing). I don't expect we'll need to transport more than one fermenter at a time, though.<br>
</div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">
My schedule is looking like:<br>
<br>
- Tuesdays are all off limits (slashdot scheduled every afternoon for at<br>
least the next five weeks)<br>
- I cannot commit to Sunday only brewing. I have to install a new<br>
server for HCoop among other things /sometime/.<br>
- MOVING<br>
- I may very well have the Friday morning slashdot shift<br>
<br></blockquote><div><br>I fully expect to have non-Tuesday weekdays off, especially as I transition to school again.<br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">
Another thing, most of the time I let people leave without cleaning up<br>
everything. Starting now I don't want to be doing most of the cleanup<br>
unless it is for my beer. If we brew on a Friday when I have a slashdot<br>
shift except little assistance from zombie Clinton.<br>
<br></blockquote><div><br>We'll play the actual schedule by ear; I just used the Sunday of each week as a convenient date anchor. I'm not too pressed about the specific days as long as we have a day that is feasible on any given week. Not doing this has become not an option for me.<br>
<br>To that end, I intend and expect to be doing about 95% of the work on this, including bottle scrubbing and cleanup; the only things I absolutely can't do by myself are the last bit of bottling (tilting the bucket) and dough-in at mash, and even those I can hack if need be. I will be grateful for any and all help y'all wish to provide, and will compensate you handsomely for it with beer, but I am certainly not trying to recruit you as beer slaves. :) I'm a practiced hand now.<br>

Summary: scheduling is hard.<br>
<br></blockquote><div><br>T<br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">
p.s. bpt still has a beer to brew and I need to brew at least one more<br>
batch of beer somewhere in there because I'm going to run out. The<br>
ginger-chamomile wheat needs bottling when we brew next as well.<br>
<font color="#888888"><br></font></blockquote><div><br>We should have fermenter space for this for the next couple weeks, but we must act rather than dally. If you need me to buy another fermenter I can, though. At most I wish to have the porter and both saisons in fermenters in 3 weeks' time, and if that means owning 3 6-gallon fermenters, then by Jove, I'll do it :)<br>
