MrsGrumpy is going away for 2 weeks.

[GrumpyPaul]

In a few weeks time MrsGrumpy has to go away for 2 weeks so apart for a couple of semi-adult children still at home I will be a free to brew amuck.

I am planning on getting using this time to do as many brewing related projects as I can.

On the plan so far.

Plan 1
Finally put together my 3v rig and make the leap from BIAB.

I scored this awesome little brew stand and mash tun from one guys from Melbourne Brewers (beerbelly on here)

I told him I didn't have a lot of storage space so I could fit a bit brew stand in - so he went about cutting and welding up a fold up stand for me.



here is is with my two urns in place for HLT and Kettle.



All I need is some plumbing to connect it all up and finally use that bargain march pump I picked ages ago and it will be sweet.

Plan 2.
Get a length of copper, coil it up and turn my little 8 litre urn into a HEX

Plan 3
Build myself a computer fan stir plate

All the bits and bobs ordered on line - will hopefully arrive in time

Plan 4
Case Swap tasting night

As per last night I will be getting my son and a couple of mates together to have a tasting night of the swap beers

Plan 5
Melbourne Brewers Annual dinner

Plan 6
Brewday Play-date

Arranged to spend an arvo brewing with a certain brewer of ill repute.

Plan 7
Brew enough to fill all my cubes.

Planning to get a few more cubes - so hopefully can have 6 filled at the end of the fortnight

Plan 8
Ferment my swap Cube

Will probably rack it onto some raspberries just for the fun of it too.....

Over the course of the 2 weeks of bachelorhood I shall update this thread and keep you all informed

Plan 9
Xmas in August AHB Case Swap?
Host 30+ drunken brewers, brew another 360 litres of wort, and cook some awesome pork & lamb on the spit.

Just adding suggestions...

The manifold pulls apart , for ease of cleaning . It might pay you to re-wrap the the spacers with some teflon tape . My missus is away from the 12th any chance of a brew to see it in action .

I'll probably spend the first Saturday getting hoses and pump all set up, picking up ingredients etc....
Should be ready to go on the Sunday (17 th I think) if you want to come over for its maiden brew.

Its sounds piss weak but I usually come up with similar plans but by the end of the time end up missing the wife, getting sick of waking up with stinking hangovers, and looking forward to a meal that involves vegetables. I have indeed gone soft in my middle-old age.

No, I mean apparently, AHB won't allow me to PM Beerbelly....?
