I cannot, though I desperately want to, until after Tuesday. The semester is coming to a hard spike in work for me. I encourage you to do 10 gallons this weekend, though! And when you do, take pictures! :)<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

Greetings,<br>
<br>
We have had equipment capable of producing ten gallon batches of beer<br>
sitting around for *weeks* ... and we've not brewed beer since<br>
Sebastian's batch (a month this weekend!). We're also down to *two*<br>
weekends left for solstice beer :(<br>
<br>
NON-BREWING PLANS:<br>
<br>
Friday - ???<br>
Saturday - Rennfest!<br>
Suturday - Moving 2 Y^3 of dirt into planter beds (this is a magical<br>
eigth day of the week)<br>
Sunday - HCoop board meeting, but not until six...<br>
<br>
<br>
MY BREWING PLANS:<br>
<br>
Friday - ?? Shall Clinton dare an attempt at beer production?<br>
Saturday - Nope, Rennfest<br>
Sunday - (if (on-hand? 'Chamomile)<br>
'10-gal-ginger-chamomile<br>
'5-gal-nowruz)<br>
<br>
To do the ten gallon batch, we'll need a wee bit more vinyl hosing and a<br>
second aerator gadget (unless it can be placed before the tee?). I'm<br>
also going to split the batch between US-05 and some Belgian yeast or<br>
another.<br>
<br>
And a new fermenter (bpt said something about acquiring one or two).<br>
<br>
Also, realistically, we need to get a 50lbs bag of grain (we'll be done<br>
with it by the end of May I think... damn). I can buy it (with everyone<br>
giving me cash money and/or tribute for grains later, at cost), but I<br>
can't store it here... we have way too many weird tiny bugs (curse you<br>
animal-rich ecosystem in my backyard!) and I think they'd get into the<br>
grain.<br>
<br>
I also need to get my blackberry-hibiscus cyser racked out of the 6 gal<br>
carboy (that can wait a bit / I can easily do that alone this week and<br>
probably shall). And... bottle the 5 gallons of cyser (that also can<br>
wait a bit since it's stabilized and should be aging acceptably in<br>
bulk).<br>
<br>
Does anyone want to make mead or fruit+mead wines? I think I can locate<br>
five gallon buckets of honey, but those are more than 50lbs and $3ish/lb<br>
IIRC.<br>
<br>
MOST IMPORTANT QUESTION: Will anyone be around to assist with brewing<br>
Sunday? My current assumption is that I'll be lucky to have one<br>
assistant... but beer must be made.<br>
