RE: [mnbrewers] Stainless Brewer

John, as I (hope I) already mentioned, my team won't be able to make it to Rick's on Saturday. (I'll be in a Skywarn Stormspotter class, and Gera is currently wandering around Belgium. hopefully she's drunk...) One question I have for you, and maybe others will ask this too: I do 10 gallon batches on my system, can we double the batch size as long as we adhere to the original ingredient specifications?

Please jump in now if you were still hoping to mount a challenge. TEAMS DO NOT have to brew on Saturday!!! We have some teams that are, and others who are brewing later, and even some that aren't getting their kits for a week or so. Teams may brew extract or all-grain. Batches are 5 gallons. The only stipulations are that you may use ONLY the ingredients supplied, and that you must declare a style to me within three hours of receiving your kit. Water and yeast are up to the team. You may use as much of an ingredient as you see fit, but may not use anything that is not given to you. This is a "call-your-shot" contest, so after evaluating the ingredients, your team declares to me which BJCP style you are shooting for. This cannot change, regardless of what turns up in your carboy in a few weeks! Entries will be judged at the State Fair competition, and one six-pack of 12-ounce bottles (or the equivalent amount) is the entry amount. The entry fee is $20 (but may come down, depending on costs). Here's what I have so far: The Ornamental Hermits--Harvie Holmes and Pete Kolias (all-grain) Strange Brew--Dan Prokosch and Gera Exire LaTour (all-grain) Five For Fighting--five folks from the winter BJCP class (all-grain????--please verify) Jon Messier and Cory Dallas--extract--name pending It would be wonderful to have a few more teams competing, so let me know, please!
