Greetings,<br>
<br>
Good news first: the chamomile arrived today and in theory I /could/ do<br>
a 10 gallon batch of Cernunnos tomorrow... but instead we'll probably:<br>
<br>
* Bottle Rachel's Saison<br>
* Sample & Rack the Blackberry-Hibiscus Cyser into secondary<br>
<br>
The plain old cyser shall wait another week along with bpt's Biere de<br>
Gaarde for the corking apparatus to arrive.<br>
<br>
Using the time freed by not brewing, I'll be finishing up the planter<br>
beds so that we can plant various beans and squashes that are already a<br>
week overdue (I love/hate spring because a so many tasks must be started<br>
and finished within a few weeks... preparation be damned!), and asssting<br>
Rachel with bottling (in exchange for tricking her into helping me rack<br>
the Cyser). Oh, and having the ol' HCoop board meeting at six (THE<br>
PRESIDENT SHALL PRESIDE OVER ALL MEETINGS).<br>
<br>
So... Tuesday/Thursday and Friday/Saturday/Sunday (pick one from each<br>
set) I can brew. One day I shall brew Nowruz (five gallons, using the<br>
new mash tun!), and another I shall brew Cernunnos (ten gallons! new<br>
kettle and new mash tun!). What I ask now is: who (if anyone, book<br>
learning being a wee bit more important than a hobby after all) might be<br>
available on some of those days to assist?<br>
<br></blockquote></div><div><br>Thursday and Sunday are best for me. I'm done my classes Tuesday evening.<br> </div><div class="im"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">
Nowruz, at worst, I can do alone (save for Kristen or bpt helping me<br>
lift the mash tun onto a counter); Cernunnos will require an assistant<br>
since we've never used the new kettle and it's pretty damn big and we're<br>
doubling all of our inputs...<br></blockquote></div><div><br>For sure I'll be there for both! After Tuesday, all I must do is study. And clean the apartment.<br> </div><div class="im"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">
<br>
If no one is around... well, I learned to brew alone and so I can do two<br>
batches of beer alone. I accept duty (to country, family, Solstice,<br>
ethics, ...) and what must be done shall be done.<br>
<br>
After that, there;s a brewing slot open May 5th. It's the last slot<br>
where beer can feasibly be ready before Solstice so I'm offering it to<br>
everyone else first. If no one want to brew that weekend... I'll figure<br>
out something (brown ale? JWHEATZ? OR: rocky j squirrel).<br></blockquote></div><div><br>I can be there as well. Having tasted it, I humbly submit that my session saison is a delicious alternative--not as potent a potion as the Luna Moth, but possessed of similar refreshing complexity.<br>
