November Brewday
So, Aaron, Barrett and I will be hosting the november brewday on the 12th.
I wanted to make a post about this because of the unique nature of my house...it allows for no less than 7 brew kits to comfortably brew under covered areas.
if the weather cooperates I could easily accomodate 10-12.
I think it would be awesome to have everyone bring a kit and brew something unusual. I know we are kicking around a few ideas.
So seriously consider heading out and brewing with us.
the average temp in early nov. is low 70s! So it should be a great time to brew!
Cya then!

I've got the big brew rig (50 gallon) but I would need enough volunteers to take wort home and ferment to make it worthwhile to haul over there.
I'm getting it set up to go.

Well it depends. Figure a barrel of beer. I think we could do a max of 45 gallons.groovyslick wrote:THAT WILL BE AWESOME!!!!!!

Most likely should brew an ale to accommodate most peoples setups.
We could do a partigyle and make 2 or 3 brews.

Re: Novenmber Brewday
I would be willing to take 5-10 gal and be involved in doing the actual brewing and anything you need help with. How much I take would depend on demand and the base wort and hops.
Re: Novenmber Brewday
I'm planning on bringing my system and brew a Scotish 80/- so count me in.

Re: Novenmber Brewday
I should be able to care for 5 -10 gallons. and aaron should be able to handle 5-10.
like I said, my issue is my carboy shortage.
american amber or belgian pale would be my vote...leaning toward the BPA.
it is a good base that can be aged,dry hopped, oaked or whatever and make a host of good beers!
what will the yeast situation be for this big brew?

I would think we would all pitch our own yeast so we need to prepare accordingly.

Re: Novenmber Brewday
sounds good!!
I think I will go with:
YEAST STRAIN: 3522 | Belgian Ardennes™
Back to Yeast Strain List
One of the great and versatile strains for the production of classic Belgian style ales. This strain produces a beautiful balance of delicate fruit esters and subtle spicy notes; with neither one dominating. Unlike many other Belgian style strains, this strain is highly flocculent and results in bright beers.
I just talked to kelly and he has it in. I will plan to make a starter that will cover 10 gal. if more people want to use that let me know and I will increase the size of the starter accordingly.

What are we making there? I wanted to make a Christmas ale and if the wort is close enough, I'll take 5 gallons or so.

Re: Novenmber Brewday
We can pull wort of the mash if you want to do a minimash of some specialties to change the style.
Of course you would have to boil the wort yourself.
Lots of possibilities but would need to plan ahead.
One thought I had was to pull off a bit of the first and second runnings to make a strong dark by adding some specialty malts.
So we have the following commitments
Wayne 5-10 gallons
Damon 5-10 gallons
Jason 5-10 gallons
JHarrington - 5+ gallons
