Derek, I will be brewing my batch on monday or tuesday of next week. As long as you still have enough grain and hops for this recipe I will be stopping at the brewhouse on Saturday to pick the ingredients up. Let me know how you would like me to pay you. I can paypal you the money if you would like.
Thanks Thomas, I will be at the Brew house this Saturday to pick up the rest of the grain for this imperial red before I go to work. Will you be at the brew house within the next few days? If so, could you leave it there and I will pick it up on Saturday when I pick up the other grains?

I have 2-row if you want it, just pay me back in grain when yours comes in. I live right by the brew space and will be home this evening and tomorrow. Let me know, they number is (810) 624.3093

Does anybody have 15 pounds of 2 row I can have? I can pay you back once the group grain purchase comes in or I can pay you cash. My local homebrew shop wants 1.70 per pound of 2-row which is ridiculous.
cool man. In the grain room, in a box labeled bondy barrel, you can grab 3 packs of munch and a bag of the caramel 80 with the carapils inside it. The hops are in the freezer in a white bag, rubber banded in zip lock bags.
As long as someone is available to open the brewhouse, I should be a go for Wednesday. I already have the hops, along with most of the specialty grains (except for carapils, and I can pick that up when I pick up the yeast). If it doesn't bother you, I can use my own ingredients.
Awesome, Daniel. I can brew it this week if an alchemist is available. I could do it Tuesday at the earliest, since I'd have to get a starter going tomorrow. Wednesday works as well.
I would definitely like to brew 5 gallons for this barrel if you still need brewers. Would anyone with some spare 2-row be willing to front me until my sack comes in from the group buy in a month or so? I'd prefer to pay ~.60/lb vs $1.50/lb at Brew and Grow on a grain bill this large.
For myself, i'm doing 2 batches. I did one today and I'm doing another brew session the middle of this week.
the other 9 etc to fill the barrel.
On a side note,
Its not Collin, Bill or Jim or anyone else's fault. I know we're all just trying to do the best that we can, however, It sucks that I invested in all the specialty grains and hops and Collin couldn't get into the brew house to pick them up. If this continues I'm gonna be broke. Its a bummer to front ingredients and leave them at the wonderful brew house that nobody can get into.
all the specialty grains and hops are at chaos. We need to get the rest of the batches brewed. Let me know how your progress is going. So for 2, 3 batches are underway.
Thanks Bill. I'll be brewing at home so like I said I just need to pop in for a minute to grab those grains that Derek is storing there. Would it be too much trouble to stop in for a minute before the Saturday class starts? If so it's no problem; it looks like someone will be brewing Sunday morning so i can just stop by then.
I'm in for this one as well. I'm planning on brewing my 5 gallons this weekend--is anyone going to be at/around the brewhouse Saturday? I just need to get access so I can grab all the hops and specialty grains. Thanks!
I'm sorry to reply so late. My iphone wont post to this site for some reason.
The Barrel fill will happen on March 10th, since I still need 3 more brewers.
That Beersmith gives that fermentation schedule is pretty wacky. I definitely didn't specify that. I'm probably keeping my batches in the primary till they are barreled.
beersmith and xml files are posted, plus a pdf but the pdf is for my setup...
The grains are upstairs in a box labeled Bondy Barrel. Just grab a plastic bag. (some of the munichs are different, oh well)
The hops are in the freezer door in a white plastic bag. The hop additions are weighed out separate in ziplock bags. The ziplocks are rubber banded together, so just grab a bundle.
I think I just need 4 more ppl. So far, Derek, Derek, Tommy, Bill, Dave, Daniel and Kyle.
I've ordered the hops, and should have everything bagged up for brewers this week as soon as I can. I am starting the cleaning process, which I know takes a few days, TODAY.
Thomas, Daniel, Bill can I put you down to brew this?
My guess is that you haven't seen a lot of people volunteer because it's been sitting unccleaned for a long time. I think a lot of people are afraid of having their big beer infected. I'll give it a shot for the hell of it.
Cleaning it is definitely a step in the right direction.
derek, any news on the specialty grains? I'll brew for the barrel as soon as you have those up. Can you remind me when you planned on cleaning out the barrel? The sooner the better as the longer you wait, the longer bacteria has to set up a decent colony deeper into the wood grain, possibly to parts of the barrel that the solution may not be capable of reaching effectively.
Citric acid and the metabisulfite can both be purchased from brew and grow. I have some citric acid left at the brew house but not positive if it is enough. You need to look at the printout, with my notes on it, in the office at the brewhouse that has all the specific instructions and measurements for each step.
yes, you'll need citric acid. I don't know where they got theirs before but I know you can buy it in the bulk bins at some whole foods (south loop for instance).
I understand that. I have a big box of washing soda. I need to get the other chemical powder. I've had some messaging with Kyle. Other people haven't gotten back to me. I'm helping friends move this next weekend, so I'm gonna do it in February. I understand it is a 48 hr process of two separate washings.
Derek, I will be brewing my batch on monday or tuesday of next week. As long as you still have enough grain and hops for this recipe I will be stopping at the brewhouse on Saturday to pick the ingredients up. Let me know how you would like me to pay you.

Derek,
I brewed this yesterday. Gravity came in a little low (1.091), but otherwise things went smoothly. I just sent you paypal.

Starter is rocking on the stir plate; getting psyched to brew this on Wednesday.
Thanks Kyle,
13 bucks. Couldn't help but think of the jay and silent bob quote

Hi Kevin,
yes sir, we just need one more 5 gal batch!

Derek I will brew mine Saturday. How much do I owe you?
I am going to be brewing this on Thursday...
Derek, do you still need brewers for this imperial red? Let me know i may be interested.

No problem, Derek. Where is everything stored?
I went through the trouble of pre-purchasing and weighing out all the specialty grains and hop...oh well.

I can do that Adam as long as you replace it. Let me know when you want to brew it.
Thanks Adam! Your efforts would be much appreciated!
Now we just need one more batch/brewer.
A more realistic fill date will have to be Saturday, March 24. I am out of town the weekend before.
I would definitely like to brew 5 gallons for this barrel if you still need brewers. Would anyone with some spare 2-row be willing to front me until my sack comes in from the group buy in a month or so? I'd prefer to pay ~.60/lb vs $1.50/lb at Brew and Grow on a grain bill this large.
Right on!
I just got my batch brewed this afternoon, everything went fine. Sorry for pushing the deadline!
5 or 6 batches. Yeah I guess we might have to wait.
Bill said:
brewed this up the other day. Got 1.110 if I recall correctly. I'll shoot you the money soon.
For myself, i'm doing 2 batches. I did one today and I'm doing another brew session the middle of this week.

Hey Guys,
all the specialty grains and hops are at chaos. We need to get the rest of the batches brewed. Let me know how your progress is going. So for 2, 3 batches are underway.
Cool. I'll stop by after work tonight then, itll probably be about 7:30. I appreciate your help!
Thanks Bill. I'll be brewing at home so like I said I just need to pop in for a minute to grab those grains that Derek is storing there.

Thanks again!
Hey all,
I'm in for this one as well. I'm planning on brewing my 5 gallons this weekend--is anyone going to be at/around the brewhouse Saturday? I just need to get access so I can grab all the hops and specialty grains. Thanks!
AWESOME!!!
yeah, 4 days is not appropriate primary time for such a giant beer.

$13.00 you can send a Paypal if it's easier. It's derek.bondy@gmail.com
thanks
I have all the ingredients! I will try and drop the by today.
The Barrel has been cleaned and is sitting full of the solution, ready to be drained, rinsed and filled.
Hey Bill,
english pale is great! I'll pick up the munich. Thanks for brewing. The barrel smelled great today!
i"ve never had any good experiences sniffing bung holes...So i guess I should brew for this too.
Bill and I smelled the barrel today, seems perfectly fine and smelled good, better than my barrel did originally.
...igz...
I think me and Thomas will, but it sounds like Bill is out.
I've ordered the hops, and should have everything bagged up for brewers this week as soon as I can. I am starting the cleaning process, which I know takes a few days, TODAY.
Thomas, Daniel, Bill can I put you down to brew this?
Cool, I get that.
So far like 3 guys, I'll clean it this saturday and we'll get this project rollin'
So... how many people are going to be brewing this up? I can throw in 5 gallons of said recipe.
My guess is that you haven't seen a lot of people volunteer because it's been sitting unccleaned for a long time. I think a lot of people are afraid of having their big beer infected. I'll give it a shot for the hell of it.
Cleaning it is definitely a step in the right direction.
I'm cleaning it this weekend. I haven't had anybody else commit to brewing, so I haven't ordered them yet.
derek, any news on the specialty grains? I'll brew for the barrel as soon as you have those up. Can you remind me when you planned on cleaning out the barrel?

Kyle, do know where I can get this? Can anyone help me clean it out on february 4th in the afternoon?
You will also need sodium or potassium metabisulfite
yes, you'll need citric acid. I don't know where they got theirs before but I know you can buy it in the bulk bins at some whole foods (south loop for instance).
Yes,
I understand that. I have a big box of washing soda. I need to get the other chemical powder. I've had some messaging with Kyle. Other people haven't gotten back to me.
