Oct 11th Brewday -Big Rig Shares -Yeast Sign Up

Post by TheMacheteMasher »

.
In the newsletter I chatted about brewing a Blonde ale using the big brewing system from BargainFittings.com. Use this forum to sign up (or email me) to take a 5 gallon share.

The plan is simple. On October 11th brew a big batch of wort and split it into 5 gallon shares. Members take home wort to ferment with different yeasts (sorry no bugs). Then bring the finished beer for evaluation on the November 1st brewday. Here are the details.

The cost is $16 per 5 gallon share. The beer a 1.045 gravity blonde ale is hopped at 20 IBUs. Ferment your share with one packet/vial at the recommended temperature. There are requirements. Each share must be fermented under temperature control. Ideally this means a temperature probe attached to the side of the carboy. Three bottles of carbonated beer must be prepared for the November 1st brewday (National Teach a Friend to Brew Day). I will also like some help setting up, brewing, and cleaning. The extra hands will allow us all to enjoy pints by our brewday host Steam Theory Brewing.

Straight Eight Blonde Ale
88/12 Grist
Rhar Standard 2-Row 70.00
Briess Crystal 20L 10.00
Pounds of Grains 80.00
152F Mash 60 Min

Boil 60 Min
Ounces of Hops 24.00
60 min Hallertau (Ger) 4.2% AA 8.00
30 min Hallertau (Ger) 4.2% AA 8.00
Flame Out Hallertau (Ger) 4.2% AA 8.00

This project is a buy/pitch your own yeast collaboration. The following are only suggestions. Choose a strain one that no one else is using. This will make for an interesting experiment.

Will the brew day be going on regardless of thunderstorms and/or Ebola outbreak?
