[brettprevans]

ok fellas lets get the ball rolling

so what were we thinking of this time? Funk? hop monster?, eis?, radical? vanilla bourbon barrel porter?v anilla bourbon barrel RIS?
also we need to set a date, location etc

Ive got 2x15amp power points next to each other if we need that (ie my hlt uses 1x15amp)

woo-freaking-hoo BRING IT ON

Happy to host also, although I am only running 10amp at our place - plenty of undercover brew space if weather is rubbish.

In terms of ideas - gunna take some thinking. I propose that we may need a "planning" session somewhere like Mrs Parmas in the very near future to discuss :chug:

 

[Maple]

I just pick-up up a few new sharpie's too. the timing is perfect. Planning session would be good. perhaps a partigyle style for an Imperial Pils and a Berlinner? heaps of ideas (and some don't even have that much Rye in them)

:super:

 

[Siborg]

You guys need a hand? happy to bring a keg/ingredients/equipment this time if you want.

assistance would require you hanging around long enough to clean the mash tun dude... no early Mum pickups h34r:

 

[razz]

That's funny......poor Simon...... :lol: :lol: :lol:

 

[Fourstar]

The oak aged (optional for those who dont want to age on oak) Vanilla Imperial Stout tickles me as we discussed CM2. If its not done with you fellas, it will be done either way!
(the small beer could probably be turned into a porter of sorts.)

As for other styles... not too sure as of yet. I'll have a little think.

 

[brettprevans]

if we get a couple of full rigs together there shouldnt be any reasons why we cant knock out a coupld of differant batches.

Im all for the OVIS (Oaked Vanilla Imperial Stout). even if we have to do a seperate collaboration brew for it.

edit:
could use something like this as the base for OVIS

I'm not opposed to any of the ideas so far - while I am not a brown spirits drinker, I did enjoy the Rum Rebellion Porter a few years back. Typically it is more of the vanilla profile that comes through.

Maple's ideas sound pretty good too... I vote we brew BEER!!

We could def look at a multiple rig set up easily enough I reckon with multiple batch sizes going - just depends on how complicated we want things to get on the day - could just be a case of needing to rope in a few mash tun ******* assistants...

I'll just say no to going to family friends place for dinner next time. was really interesting me trying desperately to sober up and spill my guts. managed to pull it off, though.

 

[Fents]

sure do, just gotta make sure you dont underlet when trying to mash a shitload of grain all at once

it may have been a contributing factor...

partigyle style for an Imperial Pils and a Berlinner?

Ive got a recipe for an Imperial Pils that we can use as a base to work from. Ill post up tonight or tomorrow.

Imperial Oaked Vanilla russian porter with Brett.

Certainly an idea. Maybe make 2 batches of tge same base and then we can play: stock, Brett, old ale, extended aging on oak blended with some fortified wine.

Endless possibilities.
