<p>I am for it! I will happily assist in other tasks as needed once I decapitate the keg. I estimate it a 2-hr job including edge polishing, so I'll come over and get started first thing. Is 11am ok for loud/high-pitch grinding noises?</p>

According the calendar, all of the things fermenting could be bottled<br>
this weekend. Rachel won't be around so ... bpt and Sebastian: both of<br>
you get to bottle this weekend if you're up for it.<br>
<br>
I should have the port of the mash tun basically done today -- in a bit<br>
I'm heading over to home despot to grab a pipe cutter and the last<br>
o-ring we need (hopefully). I might even manage to get the mash tun<br>
manifold build (except for slotting the drain pipes) as long as we<br>
really don't need to solder anything.<br>
<br>
I'm not sure we can get the mash tun and kettle into shape enough to actually<br>
brew a ten gallon batch this weekend... but we're also down to 3<br>
weekends before it's too late to make solstice beer. I propose that, if<br>
we get everything working, we do a batch of JWHEATZ (chamomile won't be<br>
here in time I suspect...).<br>
<br>
But I'm thinking that we won't, and a better idea would be to knock out<br>
some Nowruz. If Sebastian and Luke can both attend and Bpt offer<br>
assistance we could ... bottle (bpt + Sebastian primarily), brew (me),<br>
and grind out the kettle (Steve), with Luke as our go-to lackey for each<br>
task ;)<br>
